OUTDOOR SITE LIGHTING Exterior site lighting provides the first impression of an automotive dealership and is an outward expression of image. During daytime hours, the formof the exterior site light should compliment dealership architecture and tie to dealership branding. For evening operation, properly designed site lighting entices customers, attracting business to the dealership. When developing site lighting configurations careful consideration should be given to surrounding establishments, the image you would like to portray to customers and the impact the lighting system will have on operating costs. CONSIDER YOUR LOCATION When selecting the proper light levels for your next dealership project, first determine how much visual competition is created by adjoining properties. The human eye is drawn to the brightest area in its field of view. In order to capture consumer attention, site lighting illuminance levels should be atleast comparable with that of neighboring establishments without being over-illuminated. If neighboring property is yet to be developed, review whattype of future growth is currently in the zoning documentation.
