Outdoor car parks, as essential public and commercial facilities, face unique lighting challenges: they require uniform light distribution to eliminate dark corners that pose safety risks, need to adapt to changing weather conditions, and must balance brightness with energy efficiency. At the core of solving these challenges lies a critical component—the outdoor car park lighting lens. As a professional LED optics manufacturer with extensive experience in serving global markets, Asahi Optics has developed targeted lens solutions that redefine the standards of car park lighting.
Why Outdoor Car Park Lighting Lenses Deserve Special Attention
Unlike indoor lighting or road lighting, outdoor car park lighting has three non-negotiable requirements, all of which rely on high-performance lenses to achieve:
-
Uniform light coverage: Car parks often have irregular layouts with pillars, parking spaces, and walkways crisscrossing. Poorly designed lenses lead to uneven light—bright spots that cause glare and dark areas that hide potential hazards. A qualified car park lighting lens must control the light emission angle precisely, ensuring every square meter of the area receives consistent illumination (typically 20-50 lux as per international standards).
-
Weather resistance and durability: Exposed to rain, snow, high temperatures, and UV radiation year-round, lighting lenses must maintain stable optical performance without yellowing, cracking, or deforming. This places strict demands on the lens material and manufacturing process, especially the precision of the mold used to shape the lens.
-
Energy efficiency and cost savings: Car parks operate 24 hours a day in many cases, so energy consumption is a major concern for operators. A high-quality lens can maximize the utilization of LED light sources, reducing light waste by focusing photons on the target area instead of letting them scatter into the sky or surrounding areas—directly lowering electricity bills and maintenance costs.
Core Technologies of Asahi Optics' Outdoor Car Park Lighting Lenses
To meet the rigorous demands of outdoor car park lighting, Asahi Optics integrates three core advantages into its lens development and production, starting from the mold manufacturing stage:
1. Precision Optical Design for Targeted Illumination
Every outdoor car park has unique dimensions and layout characteristics. Asahi Optics' custom optical design service allows for tailored lens solutions. For large open car parks, we design wide-angle lenses (T5 and T5 Round Beam) to cover larger areas with fewer fixtures. Our optical engineers use advanced simulation software to predict light distribution, ensuring that the lens can achieve the desired illumination effect before production.
2. High-Quality Materials and Mold Craftsmanship for Durability
The performance of a lens depends not only on its design but also on the mold that shapes it. Asahi Optics has independent mold development capabilities, and our mold manufacturing process strictly adheres to hand polishing standards—this ensures that the lens surface is smooth and free of defects, which is crucial for reducing light scattering and improving transmittance. We use imported PMMA and PC materials with high UV resistance and impact resistance: PMMA lenses offer up to 92% light transmittance for maximum brightness, while PC lenses are preferred for areas with frequent physical collisions (such as underground car parks with heavy traffic) due to their excellent toughness. Both materials can withstand temperature variations from -40°C to 80°C, making them suitable for various climate conditions across Europe and South America.
3. Energy-Saving Performance Backed by Practical Data
The practical effect of our lenses is verified by real-world applications. A case study of a shopping mall car park in Spain shows that after replacing traditional lighting lenses with Asahi Optics' products, the car park's average illumination increased from 18 lux to 35 lux, while the total number of LED fixtures was reduced by 20%. This translates to a 30% reduction in monthly electricity costs. The key lies in our lens' high light utilization rate—up to 90%, compared to the industry average of 75%. Additionally, our lenses have a service life of over 50,000 hours, matching the lifespan of LED chips, which means no frequent lens replacements are needed.
