    This document outlines the process for calculating the spacing between street lighting poles using lighting software. It provides details on design parameters and considerations like average illuminance, uniformity, and glare. Based on calculations for a single carriageway using 250W high pressure sodium lamps, the recommended spacing is 19 meters to achieve average illuminance of 6.7 lux.

    LIGHTING ILLUMINATION CALCULATION ROAD LIGHTING

    1.0

    INTRODUCTION

    This Document covers the basic calculations to calculate the distance between the street lighting poles.

    2.0

    GENERAL

    Road lighting calculations are done as per the average illuminance or illuminance criteria on the road surface.

    The lighting calculations are done based on Philips software (CalcuLuX Road Ver 7.6.2.0). These calculations are performed for Single Carriageway, using 250W HPSV Lamp SGP100 type. As per BS 13201-1 & 13201-2, considered design parameters are

    Lave (Lmin/Lave) UL(Luminance) TI(Glare) SR(Surround Ration)

    1.0 cd/m2 0.4 0.5 < 15 % 0.5

    CalcuLuX is used for investigating the visibility level of a target on the road surface. This software calculates the target luminance, background luminance and the threshold of that target. Illuminance levels, uniformity and glare values on the surface of the road. The calculations are performed by considering high Pressure sodium Luminaire designed SGP100 1xSON-TPP250W.

    The road model considered here is: Road arrangement Road width Number of lane Spacing Mounting height : Single Carriageway : 3.5 M : 1 : 19 M : 8M

    (The lighting pole shall be mounted on the side of the pipe rack not from the ground) Tilt angle : 5 Deg

    The average illuminance reflects the general luminance level at which the driver performs. At the low level of lighting used for road lighting, performance improves with luminance in terms of increasing contrast sensitivity, increasing visual acuity and amelioration of glare.

    At the same time overall and longitudinal uniformity values are obtained between the recommendation values as given CIE-115 [2]. Luminaire spacing parameter affects the visibility level. When the necessary overall and longitudinal uniformity values are obtained, the sufficient visual conditions in the road lighting can be created with the longer spacing. As a result of this using less Luminaire and consuming less energy better lighting conditions can be attained.

    RECOMMENDATIONS:

    Based on Calculations spacing between Light poles

    : 23 M

    Based on Simulation report (Phillips Calculux 7.6.2.0) average Lux achieved is

    : 6.7

    Hence 19 Meter spacing between Light poles is recommended.

    Note : 1 Candela/m2 = 1 Lumen/m2
