All roadway lighting in private, residential, commercial, industrial, municipal, recreational or institutional

property shall be aimed, located and designed in accordance with Table 6.5.1 such that it will not
produce high discomfort glare to motorists and pedestrians.

Meter and meter-socket shall be provided for lighting systems not owned by the distribution utility
(DU)/electric cooperative (EC) and shall be installed in accordance with the standards set by the DU/EC
having franchise ownership over that area. Nevertheless, the end user may request for the installation
of a meter and meter-socket if the lighting system is owned by the DU/EC.

All materials (equipment and devices) to be installed by the contractor shall be new and shall bear the
Certification Mark(Philippine Standard Quality Mark or Import Commodity Clearance) issued by the
Department of Trade and Industry-Bureau of Product Standards (DTI-BPS) for specific purposes.

The components of the structural system shall be compatible with each other including that of
the luminaires and the accessories to be used. Items not covered by the following specifications
shall conform to standards and/or regulations under the Department of Public Works and
Highways Bureau of Standards.

Poles shall accommodate additional loads allowing lighting equipment/ luminaires to be installed on
them. It shall be made of hot-dip galvanized iron and steel products in accordance with ASTM
A53/A53M Standard Specification for Pipe, Steel, Black and Hot-Dipped, Zinc-Coated, Welded and
Seamless or, if made of steel, shall be hot-dip galvanized based on ASTM A 123/A 123M Standard
Specification for Zinc (hot-dip galvanized) Coating on Iron and Steel Products. Pole surface shall be matte
or dull finished to prevent glare.

The mast arm shall be fabricated using galvanized iron (GI) pipe and to be fully hot-dipped galvanized
after fabrication that are manufactured in accordance with PNS 26:1992, Steel - Black and hot-dipped
zinc coated (galvanized) longitudinally welded steel pipes or ASTM A123- Black and Hot- Dipped Zinc
Coated (galvanized) Longitudinally Welded Steel Pipes (for ordinary use) - Specification.

The foundations and pads shall be designed in accordance with NSCP to adequately support the
luminaire and pole structure as well as resist wind blows and vibrations inherent in the area where the
poles are going to be located.
The housing of the luminaire shall be made of heat-treated, high pressure die-cast aluminium
or aluminium alloy with <1% copper content and shall be painted with an electro-coated gray
paint finish.
Hardware such as hinges, latches, springs, nuts, screws, washers, pins, etc. shall be made of
materials compatible to the housing material and shall be inherently corrosion-proof or have
been protected by finishes approved for corrosion-resistance. However, those exposed to the
elements shall be made of high-grade stainless steel (SUS304 or better).

A wattage marking in accordance with the latest edition of the PNS shall be provided on the
underside of the housing using black-colored numerals 50.8mm minimum height with yellow
gold-colored square background 76.2mm minimum dimension on the side. The marking shall be
visible from an observer on the ground and shall be designed to endure the life of the luminaire.

The photoelectric control receptacle, when provided, shall conform to ANSI C136.10, latest
revision or equivalent and shall be mounted on a suitable module unit and shall be easily
removed and replaced as a unit without the use of any special tools. Furthermore, all circuitry
wirings shall be insulated to a minimum temperature rating of 125°C.

All tests on the luminaire and its components shall be performed in accordance with applicable
testing procedures and acceptance criteria of applicable (Philippine National Standard) PNS.
Certified test reports for all types of test conducted shall be submitted prior to shipment of the
luminaires.

The luminaire shall be constructed from corrosion resistant materials such that no undue
deterioration occurs in its safety, performance or appearance during normal life when operating
under all local conditions. It shall be robustly constructed to withstand vibration in normal use.
Minimum salt spray paint test requirement shall be at least 500 hours in accordance with IEC
standard. Mechanical resistance level of the housing shall be IK06 minimum and Degrees of
Protection shall be IP 66 to prevent any risk to get water or dust inside the luminaire. The IP 66
level shall be reached without using glue to make the luminaire fully recyclable.

Roadway lighting should be provided with reliable photoelectric controls either internal/ external
to keep lights turned ON/OFF automatically. This shall be provided with NEMA Type 3R service
cabinet, Philippine National Standard (PNS) compliant control breakers, and phototransistor or
photodiode type fail-off electronic photoelectric control or timer.

All components (such as LED Drivers, Surge Protection Devices, Terminal Blocks, etc.) shall be
mounted on a suitable module unit and shall be easily removed and replaced as a unit without
the use of any special tools. Electrical connection and disconnection of the electrical control
gear unit from the luminaire shall be easily done and terminals easily accessible. The luminaire
shall have an in built surge protection to protect the electronic driver and module with minimum
surge protection rating of 10 KV.
The LED luminaire shall be designed for lumen maintenance of L70 or 70% at the end of useful
life at ambient temperature of not less than45 deg C (L70 at 10,000 hours). The complete
luminaire shall have a useful life of at least 50,000 burning hours.
