Many of our roads and highways are currently being upgraded under PFI schemes. Some lighting installations are over 30 years old and improvements need to take into account both changing traffic conditions and also recent legislation concerning lighting design. The same principles also apply to non-PFI projects and private developments.

On completion of this course, delegates will be able to explain, in simple terms, current street lighting practice. They will also be able to show how the choice of lamp and lantern can affect the design.

Also available as a face-to-face training course.

6 Hours CPD.
