Parking lot lights are area lighting systems that create accurate and comfortable visibility of possible hazards at night to safeguard, facilitate, and encourage vehicular and pedestrian traffic. A parking lot, also known as a car park or car lot, is an outdoor area assigned for parking. It is a special adjunct to a public facility, business establishment or residential community. In their most common form, parking lots are a gazillion square feet of asphalt or concrete paving spaces next to shopping malls, retail shopping plazas, office buildings, sports stadiums, business complexes, airports, theme parks, megachurches, restaurants, etc. Because parking lots serve a mix of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, visibility is crucial in these intense driving environments. Parking lot lighting must enable drivers to clearly see pedestrians, particularly in the visual periphery, provide pedestrians an illuminated environment for detection and identification of tripping hazards and evaluation of personal safety, and reinforce a sense of personal safety and security.
