Most people are completely unaware of the costs that go into a grand commercial lighting installation in Wichita. Parking lots are illuminated and safe, but where does this come from? Commercial business owners may have a good idea. The below breaks down the main price differences and the tasks needed to establish lighting installation in Wichita in the parking lot.
The Luminaire
The first task includes confirming the IES laminate status. The manufacturer may provide this information. Simply contact the team at Tracy Electric Inc. to find out where this information is located. They will even be able to retrieve it. There are typically three types of a luminaire that dictate the overall brightness and electrical set-up of the install. These are 150W HPS, 250W MH, and 150W LED. The luminaire is also organized by type II and type II, with further size declarations added (small, medium).
Light Distribution
The team will move forward with the light distribution. These are mandated by federal law considering the size of the parking lot. The lighting installation in Wichita wattage is an important component of the distribution, and the candela multiplier helps further create the illumination. A candela multiplier of 19.1 is common, and the input power typically ranges from 250 to 350. The team will determine the power of the illumination both forward and backward by using a degree. For example, developers decide to make it very low (15 degrees) or very high (80 degree). That determines the spread of the forward illumination.
Pole height
One of the last steps for lighting installation in Wichita includes the optimal pole height. There are usually three basic pole height types in the industry. These are necessary, extra security, and a custom design. Extra security may be required for specific zip codes though that is becoming increasingly rare. The basic height is usually perfect for parking lots of a small to medium size. The team will also have to determine the spread and quantity of the light poles.
If all of this sounds relatively confusing, it absolutely can be. Reach out to the team of Tracy Electric Inc. and progress with parking lot illumination that meets all legal standards. The team will handle the tricky part of designing and developing while the client can focus on getting their business growing.
