Parking Lots and Underground Levels: Uniformity is More Important Than Brightness

Nighttime state of an underground parking lot. Regularly arranged linear luminaires on the ceiling create a very uniform illuminance throughout the space. There are almost no noticeable dark corners or bright spots on the ground; the brightness of every parking space, every column, and every circulation path is nearly consistent. The overall absolute brightness is not high, but because there is no contrast in light and dark, the space appears clear, safe, and easy to navigate. Columns and the lower half of walls are painted white to reflect light, while exposed ceiling pipes are painted a uniform dark color. The flooring is gray epoxy resin, reflecting a blurred image of the ceiling luminaires. The color temperature is neutral white. Avoid: large areas of dark dead ends, using single high-brightness point sources to create strong contrast, depicting the ceiling as messy and multicolored, adding colored mood lighting.

地下停車場的夜間狀態,天花板上規律排列的線性燈具讓整個空間的照度非常均勻,地面上幾乎找不到明顯的暗角與亮斑,每一個車位、每一根柱子、每一條動線的亮度都接近一致。整體的絕對亮度並不高,但因為沒有明暗落差,空間顯得清楚、安全、易於判讀方向。柱子與牆面下半部漆成白色以反射光線,天花的管線外露但被漆成統一的深色。地坪是灰色的環氧樹脂,反射出天花燈具的模糊倒影。色溫中性白。避免:出現大片陰暗死角、使用單顆高亮度的點光源造成強對比、把天花畫成雜亂多色、加入彩色氣氛燈。
