- Height: Parking lot lights are usually high mast lights, which can be 12-20 meters high. Street lights are 8-12 meters high and can be lower for certain roads.
- Light distribution: There are different schemes for the light distribution of the parking lot lights, as they need to light up the whole area around them. But the street lights always cast rectangular lights because they only need to light up the roads.
- Color temperature: The color temperature of the parking lot lights can be higher than that of the street lights. So the parking lot lights look whiter. This is because if the light of street lights is as white as that of parking lot lights, it is likely to cause eye strain on the drivers.
