LED Area Lighting Assessment

LED Area Lighting Assessment addresses performance, installation, and environmental considerations. A thorough need evaluation ensures installed lighting addresses the illumination requirements of both exterior and interior locations.

Typically, area lights are fixtures associated with the illumination of roads, sidewalks, parking lots, sports fields, building loading docks, and property locations where security is a concern. Commercial LED area lighting is also installed in interior locations. Specifically, arenas, enclosed stadiums, and other public gathering venues.

Area lighting selection involves numerous considerations to ensure fixtures are best suited for the location and type of occupancy. The below checklist supports making the best decision.

LED Area Lighting Assessment Considerations:

  • Square footage of Illumination area including beam overlaps.
  • Light pollution considerations 
  • Nominal Lumen range
  • LED Kelvin temperatures
  • Field selectable capabilities (lumen, kelvin, motion sensors)
  • IES light fixture performance i.e. L90 and L70 ratings
  • Power consumption (watts)
  • Electrical installation requirements,120V or 240V
  • DLC Listing – standard and premium.
  • Underwriters Laboratory and cUL listing
  • Type of housing material
  • IEC Intrusion protection (IP) rating. Frequently expressed as IP64, IP65 and IP66
  • Housing surface protection i.e. powder coat and color selection
  • Lens materials and its IK impact resistance rating.
  • IENSA Type III, Type IV, and Type V light distribution pattern
  • Mounting requirements i.e. Pole and Arm and mounting brackets: Slip Fitter, Trunnion and Yoke.
  • Dimming drivers
  • Motion detection – infrared or microwave. Factory or field select settings
  • Photocell Detection – automatic or manual setting
  • Manufacturer’s warranty
  • Manufacture’s technical support including IES file.
  • Accessories including protective lens covers and wiring options.
