At night, the park becomes more attractive to spend time. However, these areas have no sunlight at night and require additional lighting. When designing a park, you should take into account how it will look in the dark.
Three goals are expected when it comes to park and garden lighting; safety, aesthetics, and energy efficiency.
Bright parks make people feel safe. High-level and homogeneously illuminated parks are more attractive. People feel safer and want to spend more time in these places. No one wants to walk through a dark park in the middle of the night. To make people feel safe, lighting should be well -chosen, especially on walking paths in parks.
It is recommended to capture minimum of 10 lux on trails, bike paths, and other high-intensity walking areas in the park. The 3000K color temperature lighting fixture in the whole garden is the best choice. For parking lot lighting, circular lighting fixtures are usually mounted on poles 4-6 meters high. Additionally, recessed spots or floodlights can be used for wood lighting. Columns called "bollards" can also be used for walkways.
Lighting should not disturb people who use the park. The selection and positioning of the lighting armature should minimize glare. Because glare reduces comfort, makes it difficult to see details in dark areas.
In order to save the energy of park lighting, it is a good choice to use high-efficiency LED light source lighting devices. The lights are equipped with an intelligent lighting system that gradually reduces the lighting level at night. This saves more energy.
