Car Park Lighting Solutions

Reliable Illumination for Safe and Efficient Parking Facilities

Designed for continuous operation in demanding parking environments.
Built to deliver stable performance, clear visibility, and low maintenance over time.

Parking Environment Conditions

Lighting designed for continuous operation in
demanding environments

Parking facilities are exposed to vehicle exhaust, airborne dust, humidity, vibration, and long operating hours. Lighting systems must maintain stable output and mechanical reliability under these conditions, especially in underground and outdoor parking structures.

For demanding parking projects, recommended luminaire specifications include IP67 protection or higher, IK10 impact resistance, 50,000 h L80 lifetime, PF > 0.9, CRI ≥80, 120° wide beam distribution, and an operating temperature range of approximately -20°C to +45°C.

MANI tubular luminaires are designed with sealed construction, durable housing materials, and project-ready protection levels to reduce maintenance and support long-term facility operation.

Lighting Performance Requirements

Uniform visibility and controlled illumination levels

Parking lighting must be designed by functional zones, not by general brightness. Recommended illumination levels are typically 75 lux for parking spaces, 150 lux for circulation lanes, and 300 lux for entrances, ramps, and conflict areas.

To reduce dark zones and improve driver visibility, luminaires should provide uniform light distribution, controlled glare, and stable lumen output over time. Recommended specifications include L80 at 50,000 hours, CRI ≥80, and 120° wide beam distribution for consistent performance across parking areas.

MANI tubular luminaires are designed to deliver wide, stable, and uniform illumination for parking facilities where visibility and long-term reliability are critical.

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

Designed for fast installation and reduced service cost

Parking facilities often require lighting equipment to be installed in large quantities across wide areas. This makes installation efficiency, wiring design, and maintenance accessibility important factors in project planning.

Lighting systems should allow fast installation while minimizing disruption to facility operation. Features such as standardized mounting accessories, through-wiring capability, durable housing materials, and stable electrical components can help reduce installation time and simplify future servicing.

In continuously operating facilities, maintenance is not only a technical issue but also an operational cost. Every replacement or repair may require access equipment, labor, and temporary area closure.

MANI Lighting designs parking lighting solutions with long service life, sealed construction, and project-friendly installation options to help reduce maintenance frequency and keep facilities running efficiently.

Safety and Compliance Requirements

Emergency and sensor-ready lighting for safer parking operation

Parking lighting must support both daily visibility and emergency operation. In enclosed or underground car parks, luminaires may be required to integrate emergency backup, motion sensor control, and separate emergency circuits to maintain visibility during power failure or low-traffic periods.

For emergency applications, typical specifications include 1–10 lux along evacuation routes, 90–180 minutes backup time, LiFePO₄ battery options, and self-test / manual-test functions depending on project requirements. For energy-saving control, parking luminaires can be equipped with microwave motion sensors, PIR sensors, daylight detection, standby dimming, or DALI / 0–10V control to adjust output based on occupancy.

MANI tubular luminaires can support emergency versions, sensor integration, through-wiring, and customized AC / emergency circuit wiring for parking projects that require both operational safety and long-term reliability.

Operational Zones in Parking Facilities

Zone-based lighting for visibility, guidance, and safety

Parking facilities include multiple functional zones, including entrance ramps, circulation lanes, parking spaces, pedestrian routes, payment terminals, EV charging areas, and accessible parking spaces. Each zone requires different illumination levels, glare control, and mounting layouts to support safe movement and efficient operation.

For better navigation, parking projects can use wayfinding luminaires with printed symbols, directional arrows, color-coded tubes, or customized graphic films to identify exits, pedestrian routes, charging areas, and restricted zones. These luminaires combine area lighting and visual guidance, helping drivers and pedestrians move through the facility more safely and efficiently.

MANI tubular luminaires can support customized signage, color temperature options, and zone-based installation layouts for parking facilities with different operational requirements.

Smart Lighting and Energy Efficiency

Occupancy-based control for lower energy consumption

Parking lighting can be configured with occupancy-based dimming to reduce energy use during low-traffic periods. Typical control strategies include 100% output when motion is detected, 10–30% standby dimming when vacant, and optional daylight harvesting near entrances or semi-open areas.

For larger projects, luminaires can support microwave sensor control, DALI dimming, 0–10V dimming, group control, corridor function, and time-delay settings. This allows different zones to operate independently based on traffic flow, safety requirements, and operating schedules.

MANI tubular luminaires can be supplied with sensor-ready wiring and control-compatible configurations to support energy-efficient parking lighting layouts.

Why Choose MANI Tubular Lighting for Parking Projects

Configurable lighting solutions backed by project manufacturing support

Parking projects require more than a standard luminaire. They need a lighting solution that can match the installation environment, protection level, wiring method, control system, and long-term maintenance requirements.

MANI tubular luminaires are designed as a configurable lighting platform for parking applications. Based on project conditions, we can support different tube diameters, housing materials, mounting methods, emergency options, sensor controls, DALI / 0–10V dimming, through-wiring, and customized AC / emergency circuit wiring.

With IP67–IP69K protection, IK10 impact-resistant PC housing options, 120° wide beam distribution, 50,000 h L80 lifetime, and strict aging testing before shipment, MANI helps parking projects reduce installation risk, maintenance cost, and long-term performance uncertainty.
