Where do we get our guidance from on lighting?
BS EN 13201 covers Road Lighting and consists of 5 parts: • Part 1: guidelines on selection of lighting classes • Part 2: Performance requirements • Part 3: Calculation of performance • Part 4: Methods of measuring lighting performance • Part 5: Energy performance indicators
BS5489-1 was updated in 2020 and aligns with these. The intro for BS5489-1 describes itself as offering guidance on the selection of lighting classes and related aspects for visibility of users of outdoor public traffic areas during the hours of darkness to support traffic safety, traffic flow and public security
This is a reasonable comprehensive document that does cover some other topics around the road.
However, which part of this 89 page document do we usually end up referring to when we’re looking at how we light spaces? We go straight to the Lighting class tables… Traffic. Roads. Classes. Numbers. Lighting level horizontally
