Parking Lot & Site Lighting

Safe, well-lit parking areas are essential for commercial properties. We install and maintain pole lights, bollards, and perimeter lighting.

Parking Lot & Site Lighting — professional electrical work in Toronto & the GTA

Scope of work

  • LED pole light installation (100W-400W)
  • Bollard and pathway lighting
  • Photocell and timer controls
  • Parking garage lighting
  • Dark sky compliant fixtures
  • Maintenance and re-lamping programs

Parking lot lighting must provide adequate illumination for safety while minimizing light trespass onto neighbouring properties. We design lighting layouts using IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) standards — typically 1-5 foot-candles for parking areas. LED fixtures last 50,000+ hours, dramatically reducing maintenance costs compared to HPS or metal halide. We can also retrofit existing poles with LED heads.

Parking Lot & Site Lighting FAQs

How bright should parking lot lighting be?

IES standards call for roughly 1–5 foot-candles in open parking areas, with higher uniformity near entrances and pay stations. We photometrically design layouts so there are no dark pockets — important for both safety and liability — while keeping light trespass off neighbouring properties.

How much does it cost to convert parking lot lights to LED?

Retrofitting existing poles with LED heads typically runs $800–$2,000 per pole including the fixture, photocell, and bucket-truck labour. LED heads cut energy 50–70% and last 50,000+ hours, ending the constant re-lamping cycle of HPS and metal halide.

Do you repair parking lot light poles that are out?

Yes. We troubleshoot underground feeds, replace ballasts and photocells, and repair pole bases and hand-holes. We service parking lots across the GTA on both call-out and scheduled maintenance programs.
