Horticutral Lighting
Generally project engineers will consider the following factors before implementing the lighting design of parking garage , such as the illumination standard of the target site, the energy-saving of parking garage light, the smart control of lights, the layout of lights, the cost of the lights and the estimation of the later electricity consumption.
According to illumination standard, we can easily know the parking garage illumination of residential building should be not less than 30 lx, while public building's parking garage illumination should not less than 50 lx. in addition, for many private garage in many countries, many owners are used to decide brightness of their garage with the naked eye.
At present, most parking garage lighting systems in cities have the following problems:
1) The electricity cost and energy consumption of traditional lights like HPS and HID in parking garage is quite high.
2) intelligent control still doesn't realize here. in this case, conventional garage light system needs to constantly work 24 hours a day. this means there will be a very large expense for electricity bill every year.
3) due to the number of lighting fixtures in parking garage , the workload such as management , repair and replacement will be increased .This is also one of difficulties of property management. how to reduce workload and make management ease is a focused issue.
4) approach like only keep part of lights on is frequently taken by lots of underground garages to cut off the unnecessary power waste and lower the running cost .however , the resulting dim-lit site as well as the fact of small stream of people usually breed a latent insecurity. this leads to a bad experience and a feeling that the security of parking garage is very weak.
So how to achieve a better improvement that not only ensures bright and energy-saving of parking garage , but also maintains security? it is a particularly awkward question that blindly saving the cost by turning off lights. because although turning off lights will save money,safety question will be aggravated. as for this complex question in parking garage, engineers can tackle it from both ends. one is the selection of energy-efficient underground garage lights; the other is the layout and installation of selected lighting fixtures, include proper distance and reasonable height . moreover, for the purpose of reducing more power consumption , smart control should be available here.
How to realize intelligent control of parking garage lighting system?
there are two smart control application modes favorable and common, timing adjustment and intellisense . timing adjustment is a time partition way. according to the traffic condition of parking garage , property management company will divide a day into several periods. and then through the setting of the software, the number of lights on or off can be automatically controlled during diverse periods based on estimated traffic conditions . however,this way is inflexible and has not yet achieve the ideal state for smart control since it only can roughly solve the problem, there are still a lot of unexpected events . for example , a sudden rush of traffic occurs at the time that is set to only keep fewer lights on .
compared speaking, intellisense is more intelligent than timing adjustment . intellisense is more widely seen as a more advanced mode. timely adjustment make it better-suited to the core requirement of energy-saving . the use details , explain why it is gaining popularity by most . when someone is detected by the intelligent induction system in or on lamp body , all lights will be lit up and provide 100% lighting brightness . When there is no person in parking garage, the lighting brightness will be reduced to 10% automatically. If there is no sign of activity for a long time, the luminous flux can be reduced to 5% or less for a certain period of time. certainly ,the lighting level can not be reduced without limit , at least need to meet the lowest requirements of security monitoring lighting.
The right selection of lighting fixture is half success , knowing the required features for parking garage light enable you to find the best fit . fundamentally , underground garage need a cost-effective, high quality, reliable, intelligent, secure, easy to install and maintain garage light to support illumination .
It is entirely possible to achieve the goal of making your parking garage running cost overhead greatly lower than before by implementing advanced and energy-saving garage lighting solutions . The innovation already applied into our lighting fixtures allows us help you to significantly reduce parking garage operation costs and truly provide better and safer parking service to your clients and customers.
