The importance of area lighting is emphasized where you move with different motor vehicles and on foot. Business yard areas are usually areas of diverse mobility. Trucks bring and take stuff, pedestrians follow the routes marked for them. It is important to maintain adequate general lighting and, in addition, to illuminate specific pedestrian areas.
An important point of view is also as little teasing glare as possible. The lights should not excessively illuminate, for example, the adjacent street or neighboring houses.
In ports, ships being loaded bring their own lighting challenges. The loading area must be sufficiently lit so that the workers can see not only the work site, but also each other. Crane drivers, on the other hand, have to see the load to be lifted and, accordingly, the object where the load is placed. The challenge of seeing is great because the distance is tens of meters. The light beam can be directed to a narrow beam, so that the illuminated object is best highlighted. See this link for a light especially suitable for cranes: AD ZONE M500 CRANE
