Car park lighting: make sure users feel safe thanks to long-lasting lighting solutions

Underground car park lighting:

robust and reliable luminaires

Effective lighting solutions are essential in underground car parks to ensure user safety and comfort whether they are on foot or in their vehicles. Homogeneous lighting is required in this type of area, with a diffuse and wide halo to limit the risk of accidents. Luminaires must be able to withstand dust and exhaust gases to guarantee their durability in a contaminated environment. Multipurpose ceiling lights such as the Turner models provide the perfect response to this dual requirement. The Turner tubular luminaire is narrow (diameter: 70 mm) and available in a range of lengths (60 cm-1.8 m), so it easily adapts to tight spaces or low ceilings. In addition, this model is available with through-wiring for easy installation.

Pedestrians:

a designer luminous signature to accompany and guide pedestrians as they make their way through the car park

Lighting is key to ensuring that users enjoy a positive experience in the car park, whether on foot or in their vehicle. Lighting must facilitate their walk from their parked car to the exit. Many users feel uneasy in underground areas. With our comfortable luminaires (UGR >25), your users will forget they are even in a car park. What’s more, when you adopt a harmonious lighting signature right from the car park, your site, brand and building will become easily identifiable and memorable for visitors.

When your lighting becomes a recognisable feature of your signage

Car parks can be complex areas to navigate. Assist car drivers and pedestrians with directional lighting. Wall lights such as the Mabuse or the Morisot can be covered with a custom film to provide the required directional information (text, colour, logo, etc.). Sammode luminous solutions come with some great benefits: a homogeneous design with unchanged robustness (IK10). This means that the industrial design is maintained right through to the emergency lighting units: evacuation lighting (BAES/EVAC) and anti-panic lighting.

Reduce the maintenance costs incurred in your car parks thanks to effective lighting management

Underground car park lights are generally lit 24/7 for safety reasons. Save cash and reduce your electricity bill by only turning the lights on when useful and necessary. Using a smart management system, luminaires can provide a minimal 10% lighting level at all times to ensure no-one find themselves completely in the dark. This helps visitors feel safe when initially entering the zone. If any one luminaire detects a presence, a master-slave system ensures that all of the lighting fixtures come on. For outdoor car parks benefiting from natural light, lighting management can vary depending on the level of external light or via the DALI control system.
