Street Lighting Design – An Introduction

Our Street Lighting Design course will introduce delegates to the principles of street lighting design. Its aim is to give an understanding of current practice and the conditions and criteria that affect the design.

Description

This course will enable delegates to:

* Have an understanding of street lighting design
* Identify the basic types of lamps & luminaires used on highways
* Have an understanding of electrical cable networks, supply and control methods
* Estimate the standard...

This course will enable delegates to:

* Have an understanding of street lighting design
* Identify the basic types of lamps & luminaires used on highways
* Have an understanding of electrical cable networks, supply and control methods
* Estimate the standard and quality of an existing installation
* Analyse and suggest ways of improving an installation to meet current legislation
* Determine the road classification in terms of lighting for traffic
* Understand the software packages and data required for computer calculations
* 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.
