When it comes to LED parking lights, parking garage lights, is just another essential element within the structure of the complex of ones company. There is a vast amount of ways and fixtures to utilize parking garage lights. One of the most common parking garage light is through the use of a fluorescent light bulb, specifically, a T5. Because LED parking lights are taking over, many manufacturers and distributors are fading out on fluorescent light bulbs for parking garage lights and many other applications for both commercial, residential and even industrial. LED Lighting of Houston has several methods of applying LED parking lights.
One of the applications that LED Lighting of Houston utilizes in parking garage lights are through the use of LED tubes. In appearance and (for the most part) application, these tubes are similar to the fluorescent light bulbs except the material it is made out of is not glass and depending on the type will have a driver built into it. There are three different types of LED Tubes; Type A, Type B and Type C.
LED parking Lights
Type A is the only LED tube light that does not have a ballast built into it. The advantage of this type of LED tube is that it is cheep to install, as long as there is a compatible ballast. Because of this there is no wiring changes required for the fixture on where the light would go.
Type B has two different versions. One version receives power from one side of the light, in other words, it has one ballast on the side. The other version has two ballast powering the light on either side of it. While it can be a lot of work to rewire a light fixture to become compatible to the light bulb, the ballast within it causes the light to last much longer, with around 200,000 hours.
Type C comes with a power supply, but unlike the Type B, where the power supply is built within the lamp, it is actually outside of the lamp in order to prevent extra heat. If you wanted to have a two light T8 light fixture for your parking garage lights, you would need the lamps (ST1-4-UNV-4-17B-40: 4' LED Tube | 17.9W | 2,700 Lumens | 4000K | 100-277V | Plastic | 200,000hr Lifetime) and, if desired, LED Lighting of Houston can provide a fixture as well (TWS1 | TwinStar | 2-Tube 4’ Strip).

Why You Should Rely on LED Garage Lights?
We know that when you search for garage lights online (or even offline); you come across several options including HID lights. This leads to the question, why we are recommending the use of LED lights. Here, we have listed a few reasons.
LED Technology: The biggest benefit of LED lights is that they work by generating and distributing light through a semiconductor. This makes them different from the HID lamps, which work by consuming a dedicated fuel source. LED lights emit light using individual optics, and multiple diodes within the lighting fixture as opposed to reflectors and just one bulb.
This technology enables an even distribution of light on the targeted surface, a feature that makes them the best lighting options for garages and parking lots.
Decreased Energy Cost: To understand how much you can save by installing LED parking garage lights, you must first have a look at the common wattages for both LED and HID lighting. The wattage of a regular HID lamp tends to range from 70 to 400 watts. A similar LED fixture, on the other hand, will come with a wattage ranging from 24 to 82 watts.
The above figures suggest that you can save 40-60% of your energy bills just by replacing your old garage lighting with LED fixtures. Recently obtained numbers suggest that a building manager can expect to save around $300 per fixture annually by installing a basic LED retrofit in the building’s garage.
Decreased Maintenance Cost: Installing LED garage lights in your building will also reduce maintenance expenses significantly. The procedure adopted by LEDs for generating lights makes their progress through the functional life much different. It will not start losing its power the moment its fuel source reduces. The light output generated by LED degrades extremely slowly and if you rely on us, you can expect the lights to last for years without any maintenance.
Significantly Better Lighting Performance: If you are wondering whether the reduced maintenance and energy costs will force you to compromise with the lighting performance, rest assured. LED parking garage lights will deliver better performance than any other lighting options you can think of. LED lights used in garages feature a multi-point design, which allows them to distribute light more evenly than all other types of lights we know.
Where Should You Install LED Garage Lights?
We allow our customers to decide which part of their building or entryway they want the lights to be installed. However, as experts, we have a few recommendations for you.
Stairways: When you are setting up a parking garage, you will have to take public safety into consideration. By installing the LED lights along the stairways, you can prevent accidents. Go for an LED stairwell luminaire to ensure that there’s even light distribution in the region. Having these LED garage lights will also bring down the dark spots in the area to a minimum.
Parking Decks: LED lights will not only improve the lighting quality of the parking structure in your building but also defend the region against unscrupulous entrees.
Exterior Lights: Installing exterior lights will provide you and your guests with a welcoming parking experience. You’ll not need to worry about your budget much as eventually you will not need to invest any money for maintenance and will also save big amounts on energy expenses.
Outdoor Lots: Having powerful lighting in outdoor lots is important for preventing the incidents like theft or other criminal activities. Install LED parking garage lights in the area to enjoy better light coverage and increased durability.
Area Lighting: If you want the entire parking process to be completed safely and efficiently, you must have LED lights installed even in the common areas of your building. A well-lit common area will ensure that people traveling to and from their vehicles remain safe.
Types of LED Garage Lights We Offer
Our collection includes a wide range of garage lights. You may be looking for retrofit kits, integrated LEDs, or LED ready fixtures designed to use disposable LED lights, we have them all. Here are a few options you will get to choose from:
Canopy Lights: LED canopy lights will greet you with a stark white or bright cool white light. These lights are designed to increase overall visibility and thereby make parking easier. By installing LED canopy lights in and around your garage or parking lot, you will create a much safer environment compared to what the yellowish HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) lights or MH (metal halide) lights could create.
When dealing with us, you will also be able to take care of the aesthetics of your garage. You will get to choose between square and round fixtures. And if you want, you can also keep the existing fixtures intact and still enjoy LED lighting by using our retrofit kits.
Vapor Tight Fixtures: Do you want your LED parking garage lights to withstand extreme outdoor conditions? If yes, opt for LED vapor tight fixtures. These units will prevent the entry of water, dirt, and dust to ensure your garage remains well-lit even when it’s raining or when there’s a storm.
Retrofit Lamps: Do you already have functional high bays installed in your parking garage, mechanics shop, or hanger? If yes, it would be a good idea to convert the existing fixtures into LED using our LED retrofit lamps. Our retrofit bulbs have longer lifespans than any of their HPS and MH counterparts. What makes them even more viable is that their color temperature ranges between 4000K and 5700K.
If you want, we can also provide you with LED retrofit lamps that will require the removal of the ballast during installation. This will allow you to prevent compatibility issues we generally associate with ballasts and eliminate maintenance costs.
High Bay Lighting Fixtures: If you are looking to install LED lights in a commercial garage, we would advise you to use high bay fixtures. These lighting fixtures are designed to be installed on high ceilings, which is a feature common in most commercial garages. An LED ready high bay fixture will require you to install an LED T8 lamp. You can choose the required LED T8 lamps from our collection depending on the intensity of light you want the garage or parking lot to have.
Wraparound Fixtures: Many modern-day buildings have an extremely low ceiling. If your garage doesn’t have a ceiling high enough to hang suspended light fixtures safely, you can opt for the wraparound fixtures. These units never come in the way of ladders, cars, and all other objects that might bump into the lights hanging from the ceiling. These LED fixtures come equipped with built-in LED arrays and don’t rely on tubes.
Wraparound fixtures will emit light either from the sides or from the bottom. If you have a big garage or if you are lighting a parking lot, you should install a wraparound fixture both for emitting light from the sides and the bottom.
If you are looking for LED parking garage lights for a damp garage, you can choose a damp rated wraparound fixture from our collection.
Strip Fixtures: Strip fixtures are perfect alternatives to the regular fluorescent fixtures we find in residential garages. The best thing about these units is that installing them requires minimum effort. They also score impressively when it comes to versatility. You will get to choose from strip light fixtures of various types and lengths when shopping from LED Lighting of Houston.
Another great thing about these LED garage lights is that they don’t take any additional time to warm up. They will light up in full brightness the moment you will switch them on. The maintenance cost of the lights is extremely low thanks to the integrated LEDs they come equipped with.
