    This document provides information on lighting terminology and recommendations for security lighting. It discusses different lighting sources like incandescent, fluorescent, mercury vapor, and sodium lamps. It provides advantages and disadvantages of each type. Recommendations include illuminating entrances and parking lots brightly, using uniform lighting, and positioning lights to avoid blind spots. General rules for parking lot and building lighting placement are that light pole spacing should be 4x the pole height and wall pack spacing 6x the height. Benefits of proper lighting include reduced crime and improved safety, security and morale.

    The key takeaways are that proper lighting deters crime and makes people feel safe. 90% of crimes occur after dark. Lighting should allow for uniform illumination and identification of faces from a distance.

    The main types of lighting sources discussed are incandescent, fluorescent, mercury vapor, metal halide, low pressure sodium, and high pressure sodium lamps.

    Some recommendations for parking lot illumination are to illuminate without dark areas, identify faces at 33 feet with 3 foot candles of light, and use vandal resistant fixtures. The spacing of light poles should be the height multiplied by 4.

    Proper lighting enables law abiding citizens to observe / report crime and to identify suspects. It makes people feel safe.

    Lighting Terminology
    Light: Radiant energy that excites the retina of the eye. Lumen: Volume of light Candlepower: Intensity of light in a specific location. Foot Candle: amount of light a candle gives off in a square foot area. Illuminance: Light on an object

    Lighting Terminology
    Lux: metric measurement of illumination Lumen: measurement of light at its source and the amount of light output. Luminaire:The complete light fixture with the light source and ballast. Light trespass:Light pollution in unintended areas. HID: High Intensity Discharge Lamp

    Lighting Terminology
    LPW: Lumens per watt, a measurement of efficiency Ballast: A device used with an electric discharge lamp to obtain the necessary voltage and current to start and operate the lamp. Uniformity: Relative Illuminance, lighting that doesnt allow dark areas in parking lots.

    LIGHTING SOURCES
    1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Incandescent Quartz, Quartz-Halogen Fluorescent Mercury Vapor Metal Halide Low Pressure Sodium High Pressure Sodium

    Incandescent Lighting

    Lamp which produces light by using electric current to heat a filament

    Incandescent Lighting
    ADVANTAGES: 1) Instant on
    2) 3) 4) 5) Low initial cost Excellent color rendition Can be dimmed Compact in size

    Incandescent Lighting
    DISADVANTAGES:
    1) Short Life ( 500-5000 hrs.) 2) Inefficient to Operate 3) High Heat Output

    Halogen & Quartz Halogen


    Lamps are incandescent bulbs with halogen gas (like sealed -beam auto headlights)

    Halogen & Quartz Halogen


    Advantages:
    1) Good color rendition 2) 25 % better efficiency than ordinary incandescent bulbs.

    Halogen & Quartz Halogen


    Disadvantages:
    1) High heat output 2) Inefficient

    Fluorescent
    Lamps that pass electricity through a gas enclosed tube to create light Usually used indoors and in some cases for signage

    Fluorescent
    Advantages: 1) They create twice the light & less than half the heat of an incandescent bulb of equal wattage. 2) Long life (10,000 - 15,000 hrs.) 3) Efficient 4) Good color rendition

    Fluorescent
    Disadvantages:
    1) Temperature sensitive

    Mercury Vapor
    A high intensity discharge device which produces light by excitation of mercury vapors (also passes electricity through a gas)

    Emits a bluish white light

    Mercury Vapor
    Advantages:
    1) Long life (16 - 24,000 hrs.) 2) Low initial cost

    Mercury Vapor
    Disadvantages:
    1) Inefficient operation 2) Light output drops over life (2 - 3 yrs.) 3) Delayed hot restart

    Metal Halide
    High intensity discharge arc tube in which light is produced by the radiation of exited metal halides 100 watt bulb lasts 10,000 hrs.

    Metal Halide
    Advantages: 1) Excellent color rendition 2) Sparkling white light a) imitates daylight conditions b) used in sports stadiums, car dealer lots, etc. 3) Works well with CCTV

    Metal Halide
    Disadvantages:
    1) Hot restart can take several minutes 2) High initial cost 3) Most expensive light to install and maintain

    High Pressure Sodium


    High intensity discharge arc tube in which light is produced by radiation from sodium vapor operating under pressure

    High Pressure Sodium


    Advantages:
    1) Very Efficient - 20-28,000 hrs. life 2) Can cut through fog and allow the eyes to see detail at greater distance ( used on streets & parking lots ) 3) In some cases it can be used with CCTV

    High Pressure Sodium


    Disadvantages:
    1) High initial cost of fixtures 2) Hot restart can take several minutes

    Low Pressure Sodium


    High intensity discharge arc tube in which light is produced by radiation from sodium vapor operating under pressure Emits a dull yellow /gold hew

    Low Pressure Sodium


    Advantages:
    1) Very efficient ( 20 - 24,000 hrs. life, a 90 watt bulb may last 16,000 hrs.) 2) May be used to combat prostitution, drug dealing, or illuminate an area just to detect movement.

    Low Pressure Sodium


    Disadvantage:

    1) Poorest color rendition

    Security Lighting Recommendations


    1) Illuminate entrances, fire escapes, etc. with bright white light. 2) Parking lots should be illuminated with bright white lights that allows for uniformity, (not allowing any dark areas in the parking lot). 3) Implement a maintenance policy

    Security Lighting Recommendations


    4) Parking lots should be illuminated so one can identify a human face at 33 ft.,(3 foot candles vertically above the surface). 5) Wire cages or industrial strength shatter resistant lenses should be placed over the light to deter vandalism. 6) Position lights to avoid glare areas & blind spots.

    Parking Lot Illumination


    The general rule of thumb involving the installation of lighting in parking lots, is the height of the light pole multiplied by 4 will give the distance the light poles should be apart.

    Building Illumination
    The general rule of thumb involving the installation of wall packs, (lights on the sides of a building), is the height of the wall pack multiplied by 6 will give the distance the wall packs should be apart.

    Lighting Benefits
    1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Less vandalism Fewer Break-ins Improved morale & safety / security Fewer assaults Premise liability enhanced Increased curbside appeal Increased building value Improved Productivity Increased utilization of public areas resulting in more natural surveillance

    National Institute of Justice


    Research in Brief - April 1996
    The most important CPTED security feature is lighting. Lighting should meet standards of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. The most important CPTED security feature a city can mandate is lighting.
