Lugh - The Celtic God of the Sun and Light
Lugh (also Lug, Luga) was one of the most important Celtic gods, particularly in Ireland, and he represented the sun and light. Although originating as an all-wise and all-seeing deity, Lugh was later thought of as a historical figure, great warrior, and Irish cultural hero.
The god Lugh's name means 'light' and 'brightness'. His common epithets are Lugh Samildánach ('skilled in the arts, crafts, and trades') and Lug Lámfada, Lámfhada, Lámhfhada or Lámfhota ('long-armed' or 'long-handed'). The god's most common epithet of 'long-armed' refers to his ability to either throw a spear or a slingshot a very great distance. Not only a great warrior, Lugh may have been considered a fili, that is a seer, diviner, and poet. These multi-skills make Lugh very similar to the deity the Romans described (without giving the indigenous name) as Gaulish Mercury, now known to be called as Lugos or Lugus by the Celts. He is also the equivalent of the Welsh hero Lleu Llaw Gyffes. In art, Lugh is almost always presented as a youthful and handsome athlete, and he often carries his famous spear called Gáe Assail.

A Note On Parking Bay Sizes:
When assessing the area needed for staff and customer parking, it should be noted that the current UK norm for parking spaces is 2.4m wide by 4.8 m long. However please note that several models of modern vehicles are more than 4.8m long. The recommended space for manoeuvring (roadways) between bays is 6m.
These dimensions are neither minimum nor written in tablets of stone and may be revised to suit your particular needs, but remember that good access and wider bays aid efficient use of the parking area and are much more pleasant for your customers to use.
EV Charger Bay Sizes: It is recommended that additional access zones between parking bays be left for EV charging. This allows some vehicles to plug and charge from the side. These bays should also be marked and include eye-level signage.
Disabled EV Charger Bays: As the number of electric vehicles in the UK grows as will the requirement for EV charger bays. There are currently no guidelines on providing disabled parking bays with EV chargers so although not essential we recommend creating EV charger bays with the required 1.2m marked area between the bays and thus automatically making all your EV charger bays suitable for people with disabilities as well as allowing space for vehicles that charge from the side.
KaraSolar use a standard parking bay size of 2.50m wide by 5.00m long
KaraSolar Canopies Height Clearance is a Standard 2.50m
A Note On Vehicle Heights:
Domestic Vehicles: All our Solar Canopies and Carports comfortably accommodate all vehicles intended for domestic use. One of the tallest in this category, the Land Rover Discovery, stands at 2.00 metres high. The vehicles shown in most of our drawings are the Jaguar F-Pace (1.66 metres high) and/or the Jaguar I-Pace (1.56 metres high).
Commercial Vehicles: If the car park is frequently used by commercial vehicles, a 2.50-metre clearance could potentially cause issues. Common commercial van heights include:
H1 - Standard - up to 2.50m
H2 - High Top - up to 2.90m
H3 - Super High Top - up to 3.20m
For example, the height of a VW Crafter can range from 2.30 metres to 3.20 metres high, depending on the model. Of course box vans and lorries can be even higher.
