2.04 INTERSECTION LIGHTING

A. General

level for an intersection shall be approximately equal to sum of the levels used
for each separate street forming the intersection. For example, if street A is
illuminated at a level of ‘x’ and street B is illuminated at a level of ‘y’, then
intersection of the two streets shall be illuminated at approximate level of ‘x +
y’.

2. Luminaire wattage and pole mounting height at intersection shall match with
those on the approach roads if continuous lighting is required between
intersections.

3. If the intersection is signalized, the luminaires shall be mounted using

combination signal/luminaire poles to avoid excessive poles at intersection and
positioned to suit the traffic signal. Consideration shall be given to possible
future signalization of intersection with the interim luminaire poles located
accordingly.

B. Luminaires

1. The type of luminaire to be selected depends on location of luminaire at

intersection. Luminaire with Type I – 4 way distribution is preferred for
luminaires located near center of the right angle intersection and Type II – 4
way distribution is preferred for the luminaires located near the corner of right
angle intersection.

2. It is preferred to use

normal poles.

Rev 1 20 of 29 Contract No:

 SECTION 16520

on high-mast.

2.05 AREA LIGHTING

4. Fixtures which are mounted on the structure to be illuminated shall be rigidly

mounted utilizing corrosion resistant brackets made for the purpose.

techniques may be used.

2.07 LIGHTING CALCULATIONS

A. Roadway Lighting Design

1. The calculation of the average horizontal illumination produced by a lighting

system is essentially an iterative design process. Each luminaire is considered
to illuminate a length of a street equal to one spacing distance between lighting
poles. The most frequent calculation used to determine average illumination
levels is :

a) L = (LL x CU x LLD x LDD) / (S x W), where:

1) L = Illumination level required in Lux
2) LL = Initial Lamp Lumen per Luminaire
3) CU = Coefficient of Utilization
4) LLD = Lamp Lumen Depreciation
5) LDD = Luminaire Dirt Depreciation
6) S = Luminaire Spacing in m
7) W = Width of the road in m

b) In most lighting design, the required maintained Lux intensity will be a

known quantity. It can be obtained from standard tables. Most frequently
used illumination levels are listed in Table 2A.

c) Initial lamp lumen for specified luminaire can be obtained from

manufacturer’s catalogs.

d) Coefficient of utilization takes into consideration the efficiency and

distribution of the luminaire, its mounting height and width of the road.
Its value shall be selected from manufacturer’s data for specified
Luminaires, ratio of width of road and mounting height.

e) The output of lamp depreciates during service mainly due to loss of

lumens resulting from aging of luminaires. It also decreases due to
accumulation of dust, dirt and insects as well as chemical changes in
reflecting surfaces.

f) In order to achieve adequate uniformity of illumination on road ways, the

maximum spacing between adjacent luminaires for various type of
vertical light distribution shall not exceed the following:

Rev 1 23 of 29 Contract No:

 SECTION 16520
EXTERIOR LUMINAIRES

1) Short Distribution: 4.5 times the mounting height

2) Medium Distribution: 7.5 times the mounting height
3) Long Distribution: 12 times the mounting height

g) It is preferable to use the spacing between adjacent pole based on

medium distribution for the reasons given below:
1) Short distribution is not used as it is not economical.
2) The long distribution is not used to any great extent because the
high beam angle of maximum candlepower often produces
excessive glare.

B. Area Lighting Design

1. The beam lumen methods in floodlighting design shall be employed when

floodlights are used for area lighting.

2. The illumination level of the area is determined by the following basic formula:

3. N = ( L x A ) / ( LL x CU x LLD x LDD ), where:

a) N = No. of Luminaires required.

b) A = Area in m²

c) For other abbreviations, refer to par. 2.06 A.1.a.

4. The following general principles apply in the design of area lighting:

a) Luminaires located at or near the center of an area shall be IESNA

Type III, IV or V depending on the coverage, intensity and uniformity
required.

b) Luminaires located at or near the sides of an area shall be IESNA

Type II, III or IV depending on the coverage, intensity and uniformity
required.

c) Luminaire spacing shall always be determined in mounting heights.

Typical distance from luminaire to the edge of an area shall not exceed
one-half of the spacing between adjacent luminaires.

d) Luminaire mounting height shall be determined by source and wattage.

e) Luminaire coefficients of utilization (CU) are found by applying the

utilization curve generally published with the photometric data. It should
be noted that when luminaires are located along the sides of an area,
the rear side (house side) CU is not contributing to the area.

C. The following table shows frequently used values of illumination level for road way
and area lighting.
