Street lighting, street light components, luminous intensity, maintained average vertical illuminance, luminance, selection of lighting classes, street lighting masterplanning, street lighting design, lighting calculations
Abstract:
Basic lighting quantities and terms, street lighting components (luminaires, control cabinets for street lighting, street lighting cables), characteristics of luminaires (lifetime of light sources, light distribution), standards, measurement of illuminance and luminance in road lighting, tunnels, conceptual approach to street lighting design, lighting calculations in DIALux and Relux, street lighting control systems.
Objectives:
The main goal of the course is to familiarize students with the skills of road lighting design according to standards. Except for theoretical knowledge the methods of measuring lighting performance, its designing steps and calculations will be introduced. Current trends in developement of street lighting control systems will also be introduced.
