I manage a 550k square foot warehouse operating at 24/7. All of our building lights, are LED and point down at the ground. Our pole lights are LED also and point down at a 45 degree angle to supply lighting to the truck drivers. The poles are at least 100 feet away from housing.

My question is what is needed for these style of lighting? The verbage on the LEED page states that measurements are needing to be taken at no more than 100 foot intervals. I have a 25 acre facility. The building alone is 1750 feet long. Would it be acceptible to meassure at the project boundary for each of the poles instead of every 100 feet?

If you are doing Option #2, the measurements are 100' between. I haven't heard of any exceptions. You can start with what you assume to be the worst area before doing the whole perimeter. It lets you know how likely you are to pass without taking all of your time.

The lights angled at 45 degrees will be a challenge. 100' is not much for site lighting.
