Im with you on this one FLL.Too much lighting of parking areas is annoying.However,this is usually the building departments doing.I built a 200 car lot in Manchester and had no choice but to install a mininum amount of lumens per the city code.I had to have a lighting expert draw up a lighting plan showing the type of fixture and how much light output it would have.It had to be approved before I could go forward.I did make sure though to install downlighting only.
