Good lighting at the gas station makes the gas station safer and creates an attractive environment for drivers. Several studies have shown that lighting plays an important role in a driver's choice of a gas station on the road.
Gas station lighting should be considered as a whole, including canopy lighting, convenience store lighting, ambient lighting, etc. Under the canopy, a light level of 400 lux is sufficient on the ground. In addition to this, a vertical illuminance of 150 lux is recommended for the air pump.Gas station entrances and exits must have a light level of at least 10 lux. In the intersection area between the canopy and the store, a light level of 150 lux is sufficient.
Keeping the light levels of 30 lux and above in gas station and store environments would be a great option.
Providing good lighting conditions at gas stations will create a safer and more attractive environment. Additionally, it will help customers spend more time and shop more at the gas station. Providing good lighting in store sections can make products look more attractive. This will significantly affect the preferences of customers visiting the store.
Gas station lighting; canopy lights, street lights can be used as outdoor lighting, LED panels, downlights and linear lights can be used as indoor lighting. When washing the car, it is advisable to use waterproof lamps.
Using a lighting control system at a gas station will help save energy.
