Frequently asked questions

How many lux does outdoor area / yard / parking need?

Indian practice (IS 3646 / CIE) recommends 20 to 50 lux maintained on the task plane with uniformity of at least 0.25. New installations should target 20–30% above the maintained value to allow for lamp depreciation and dirt.

What mounting height is typical for outdoor area / yard / parking?

Around 8 m is typical. Higher mounting needs more lumens per fixture or closer spacing to keep uniformity.

Which HiLums or Oreli fixture should I use?

LED Flood Lights are the usual choices. Use the bulk & customisation portal to enter your dimensions; it sizes lumens, wattage and quantity and lets you choose AC, DC or solar supply, CCT, surge protection and mounting.
