LightFair Booth in
IES LIVE EDUCATION 2019 were treated to a
“roadway tour” by Dr. Ron-

Tech Transportation Institute.
Gibbons elaborated on IES

that have become a staple
of the Society’s education
efforts at the trade show.
Indeed, 2019 proved to

the document scored an

a LightFair Innovation Award
and recognition in the IES

provided an overview on
the thinking behind the idea
of a compilation of lighting
design techniques and cri-
teria. Each chapter should
not be taken in isolation but
used as a whole for quality
lighting design for roadways
and other environments
where vehicles are present,
such as tunnels, intersec-
tions and parking lots.
A lighting designer will
often simplify the design
criteria to lighting level
and uniformity. However,
impacts on visual quality go
beyond these simple criteria
and encompass minimizing
glare and providing spectral
contrast on pedestrians,
hazards and other vehicles.
This Standard is intended
to be a single source of ref-
erence for roadway lighting;
however, additional docu-
ments are often required

FANS FIRST CITY SPOTLIGHT

W ith 10,000 seats, an outfield swimming pool and

New lighting projects include a stadium and a hotel

Ballpark—home of the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators—found

itself in need of appropriate lighting for its public spaces,
especially during evening games. The stadium’s owners
and OCS Lighting & Control selected pole-mounted fixtures
from Luminis to illuminate the outdoor concourse areas
while remaining cohesive with the park’s sleek aesthetics.
The post-top LED luminaires offer glare-free illumination
at 3000K and help provide safe passage for fans moving
through the concourse without competing with the on-field
lighting. Made of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, the
luminaires stand up to the sand and strong desert sun of
Nevada while fans enjoy the park’s mesh seats, reserv-
able party decks and suites, and the biggest scoreboard in
minor league baseball.
