INTRODUCTION
1.1 Objectives of the Guidelines
Based on a consultation process conducted in 2007 on behalf of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)
Pacific Alliance for Sustainability, five Pacific Developing Member Countries (PDMCs) the Cook
Islands, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Samoa, Tonga, and Vanuatu assigned high priority to reducing
their use of fossil fuel. In response, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved Regional Technical
Assistance (RETA) for promoting energy efficiency in the Pacific in September 2008. This project was
implemented in 2 phases. The first phase concluded in May 2011, and focused on identifying a pipeline
of specific energy efficiency projects for funding and co-financing by ADB, GEF, and other sources.
The objective of the second phase Promoting Energy Efficiency in the Pacific (PEEP2) was to
improve the efficiency of electrical power for end-users in the residential, commercial, and government
sectors across the 5 PDMCs. This goal was addressed with several complementary methods: building
stakeholder knowledge, mainstreaming government policies, implementing energy in new and existing
buildings, and disseminating information to build awareness and change behavior. These actions
resulted in: enhanced energy security, reduced energy costs for end-users, and overall reductions in
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The Energy Efficiency Guidelines for Street Lighting in the Pacific were developed under PEEP2 in
order to help achieve energy and financial savings, while increasing public safety for drivers and
pedestrians. The guidelines help achieve these goals by providing methods and techniques for
enhancing efficiency and quality of street and public lighting in the Pacific.
Introduction
Introduction
OVERVIEW OF
STREET LIGHTING
2.1 Purpose of Street Lighting
Street Lighting (or Roadway Lighting) is one of the most common forms of exterior lighting 1. The general purpose and importance of street lighting is to allow drivers and pedestrians to travel safely, see
hazards, recognize objects and have a sense of security, as a result of improved night time visibility.
Properly designed and maintained street lighting can provide comfort and safety during nighttime conditions for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
In fact, street lighting does more than just reduce nighttime traffic accidents, and it can also:
r Reduce the level of petty crime and personal robbery, and give citizens a better feeling of security;
r Help road users without head lamps (e.g. the non-motorized, two-wheelers, etc.) to see potholes
and small obstacles;
r On multi-purpose roads, it can enhance commercial and social activity during the hours of darkness, particularly after dusk; small installations in village centers, even operating for a few hours,
can enhance community life;
r Make urban centers more attractive, especially for visitors and tourists.
Some of the major issues concerning the design and specifications for roadway lighting include the
light level, colour quality, light distribution, maintenance and initial cost. In recent years, energy
efficiency has also become a priority consideration particularly in countries where electricity tariffs
are high due to the long operating hours of most outdoor lights.
Increased energy efficiency in street lighting systems significantly reduces operation and maintenance
costs. Through cost-effective energy efficiency measures, energy and monetary savings of 20%- 50%
can be achieved. The initial investment cost associated with more efficient lighting technologies is
easily outweighed by the lower overall life-cycle costs 2 of efficient lighting.
1 Other exterior lighting applications include landscape, building facades, monuments, and signage, retail and commercial establishments
2 A life-cycle cost is dened as a sum of an initial purchasing price of equipment, installation costs, as well as maintenance and energy costs
incurred throughout the equipment life time. More details on Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) are given in Section 4 and Appendix 4.

COMPONENTS OF
STREET LIGHTING
The components of a street lighting system are classified based on their respective functions. They are
generally described as:
rOptical Systems: consisting of lamps, control gears and luminaires
rStructural Systems: consisting of poles and pole bases (foundations)
rElectrical Systems: consisting of control systems (which include service cabinets)
During the design phase, these systems, and their component parts should be selected in order to
meet all road and lighting recommendations at a minimum life-cycle cost. To achieve an effective,
energy efficient design, it is essential to select the proper optical system. Careful selection of
lamp/ballast and luminaire combinations will yield higher system efficiency while meeting design
requirements and minimizing both glare and light pollution.
3.1.1 Lamps
The lamp is the most important component of the illumination system because it is largely responsible
for determining the quality of light, system efficiency, and operating costs of the overall illumination
system. The lamp transforms electrical energy into visible electromagnetic radiation, or light (lumens).
The rate at which this conversion takes place is called luminous efficacy, and is measured in lumens
per watt (see Appendix 1 for more details).
The lamps luminous efficacy, the color and distribution of its light, the depreciation 4 of light output
over the lamps lifespan, and the lamps overall lifespan are all factors that affect the cost and effectiveness of its installation and maintenance. As such, these factors should all be considered when selecting a given light source.
Various types of lamp technologies are currently available for street lighting application. These technologies vary greatly in their luminous efficacy, color rendering properties, lamp life, etc. (Please see
Appendix 2 for description of terms). Most roadway lighting installations over the past decades use
one of three types of high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp: high-pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide
(MH) or mercury vapor (MV) lamps. Light-emitting diodes (LED) technologies have recently become
more popular and affordable for roadway lighting, and these solid-state lighting technologies are more
energy efficient than their predecessors, particularly in terms of the efficiency of overall optical system.
A brief description of the different types of lamp technologies that can be used for street and outdoor
lighting are provided in Table 3-1.
4 Depreciation refers to the degradation of light quality over a luminaires lifespan. Such depreciation occurs to all luminaires; however, the
rate at which this process occurs varies both by make, and individual unit.

3.1.3 Luminaire
The term luminaire can be defined as a complete lighting apparatus consisting of the housing and all
integral parts necessary for both mounting, and function. This includes the light source (lamps), optical
control parts, control gears, wiring assembly, and structure. Luminaires for roadway lighting are
typically made of metal or plastic, and are shaped in the "cobra head" style, high mast style, vertical head style or shoebox" style (see Figure 3-3 to Figure 3-6). LED luminaires (Figure 3-7) are available in various designs and shapes. Most LED luminaires are available in modern flat rectangular
designs, and others look similar to luminaires for HID lamps (such as the cobra head design).
5 The specic IEC standard for luminaires for road and street lighting is IEC 60598-2-3 Particular requirements Luminaires for road and
street lighting.

3.1.3.2.1 Reector
A reflector is used to change the direction of the light output. Its purpose is to redirect the otherwise
wasted light output in the desired direction. The reflector is intended to efficiently direct the light into
the required directions, while reducing it in directions where it might cause discomfort from glare.

3.1.3.2.2 Refractors
Refractors are a type of lens that use a prismatic shape to redirect both the light emitted by the
systems lamp, and the light coming off the reflector. Refractors are often referred to as prismatic
lenses. Refractors are most often used in cobra head luminaires, and have the double function of helping to protect the lamp from external damage.

Refractor
3.1.3.2.3 Lenses
Light from LEDs can be focused and shaped by lenses. Such lenses are being used with increasing
frequency in street lighting applications, as they can be used to redirect light, reduce glare, and even
serve to protect the LEDs from water and ingress. Lenses in LED luminaires are usually classified as
secondary optics and are fitted directly on the LED. Lighting manufacturers claim that LED lenses offer
an optical efficiency of more than 90%, while luminaires with traditional HID lamps generally offer
reflector efficiency of around 70%. Lenses allow light to be directed to exactly where it is needed,
reducing light pollution and dramatically improving system performance compared to conventional
light sources.

(b) Staggered. In this layout, lights are installed in an alternating pattern, on each side of the road in
zigzagging, or staggered locations.

(c) Opposite. In this configuration, streetlight poles are placed directly opposite each other along the
road.
Figure 3-22: Opposite Conguration
(d) Twin Central. A twin central arrangement is usually adopted on dual carriageways. The luminaires
are mounted on T-shaped masts in the center islands of the road. In essence, this is a two (2)
single-sided arrangement, placed back-to-back with the two mast arms mounted on a shared
steel pole.
Figure 3-23: Twin Central Conguration
(e) Twin Central in Combination with Opposite Arrangement. In certain instances, where adequate
illumination cannot be met, a single-sided arrangement is integrated with twin central or staggered
arrangements.
Typically, streetlights along major roadways are staggered on single-sided posts, on opposite sides of
the road. Pole-mounted street lights are typically installed 30-40 meters apart, but this distance can
reach 100 meters when using high masts.
Roadside conditions may require that pole spacing be adjusted. Such adjustments should be
determined based on the recommended levels of illumination, as indicated in the guidelines (see Table
4-1). Higher levels of illumination than the base levels are justified when overhead structures, safety,
and object clearance restrict the placement of poles. It is also advisable to provide higher illumination
levels at diverging and merging areas.

DESIGNING AN ENERGY
EFFICIENT STREET
LIGHTING PROJECT
The design and planning process is an important step in implementing any street lighting project. It is
very important to coordinate the interest of municipality, utility and other stakeholders, as it helps
provide an effective public service while avoiding ineffective investment. Project designers must
understand street lighting recommendations and evaluate the area to be lit in order to make informed
decisions on the kinds of lighting technologies to be used, and where luminaires should be placed.
Implementing an effective street lighting project is largely dependent on a strong project design.
Analyzing local needs, existing infrastructure, and available technology will give project designers a
clear understanding of the potential cost and energy savings to be achieved by the overall project. This
section provides guidelines on how to design an EE street lighting system it can be applied to both
new and retrofitting project designs.
The following flowchart in Figure 4-1 illustrates the steps to be taken when designing a street lighting
project. Each box in the following chart is marked with a number that corresponds to sections in this
chapter (Section 4). Please refer to the flowchart and the corresponding sections for detailed
information on how to design a street lighting project.

5. Glare: In highly motorized countries a 10% maximum (of direct luminance) is recommended on
highways, while a range between 5% and 30% is acceptable for general traffic routes. These
percentages are determined by the amount of light the luminaires project near the horizontal.
Decreased glare results in decreased nighttime glow (or light pollution).
6. Guidance: Although glare should be kept low, a small amount of direct light from the luminaires
gives a useful sense of the "run" of the road ahead, and can forewarn drivers of upcoming junctions
or roundabouts.
With an understanding of both the roadways function and the lighting quality recommendations,
project designers can determine the relative lighting needs of their roadway. Recommended illumination levels for different roadways are given in Table 4-1, and can be used to determine respective lighting needs.

4.2.2 A Quick Selection Guide for Replacing FLs and MVs with LED and HPS Lamps (for
Retrot Projects)
When selecting LED or HPS lamps/luminaires, project designers should ensure that the downward
lighting output of new luminaires is equivalent to (or better than) the existing ones. Table 4-2 provides
recommendations on HPS lamp wattages and LED luminaire wattages for replacing existing
fluorescent and MV street lighting in order to achieve energy savings while maintaining similar or better
lighting quality.

After having selected several viable options for luminaires and luminaire layouts (based on Figure 4-2),
it is necessary to evaluate the functionality and overall life cycle costs of each respective option before
making any final selection and proceeding with procurement and installation. The final selection should
be made based on a clear understanding of how each respective system will look, and how much it
will cost for the duration of its life cycle. These two factors allow the project designer to make informed
purchasing choices, and to provide municipalities and utilities with estimates concerning performance,
economic, and environmental costs

An alternate configuration of the LCCA formula and a practical example which may be useful for
engineering staff can be found in Appendix 4.
Example: The ABC municipality is considering replacing 100 sets of 250 watts mercury vapor (MV)
luminaires with 100 sets of 90 watts LED street lighting luminaires. The electricity cost is $0.3 per kWh.
The yearly operating hours of the system is 4,300 hours.

7 Each 250W MV luminaire consumes about 290W due to additional losses in control gear which are estimated at 15% of lamp wattage.
In general, a simple financial payback under 3 to 5 years is considered favorable. In case a more
rigorous financial analysis is required to determine financial Return On Investment (ROI) of the project
before the final investment decision can be made, many online tools are available for helping with the
calculations, for example: http://energy.gov/eere/ssl/financial-analysis.

(b) For staggered installations, consecutive luminaires will be on opposite sides of the road.
(c) The calculation points should be evenly spaced in the field of calculation (see Figure 4-3) and their
number should be chosen as follows.
(d) In the longitudinal direction, the spacing in the longitudinal direction should be determined from
the equation.
D = S/N
where:
D is the spacing between points in the longitudinal direction (m);
S is the spacing between luminaires (m);
N is the number of calculation points in the longitudinal direction with the following values:
for S 30 m, N = 10
for S > 30 m, the smallest integer giving D 3 m.
The first row of calculation points is spaced at a distance D/2 beyond the first luminaire (m).
(e) In the transverse direction.
d = Wr /3
where:
d is the spacing between points in the transverse direction (m);
Wr is the width of the carriageway or relevant area (m).
The spacing of points from the edges of the relevant area is D/2 in the longitudinal direction, and d/2
in the transverse direction, as indicated in Figure4-3.
(f) Luminaires that are situated within five times the mounting height from the calculation point should
be included in the calculation.
Calculation of average illuminance based on the measurement data can be performed using any
spreadsheet tools. Illustrated in Figure4-4. is calculation of lighting quality parameters (average
maximum, and minimum illuminance, and uniformity) of measurement data using Excel. A sample of
lighting measurement sheet is given in Appendix 3.

MAINTENANCE OF
EE STREET LIGHTING
Street lighting is a necessary but costly public service, requiring a great deal of investment in the
overall design, procurement, installation, operation and maintenance of street lighting systems. In
order to maximize the value while keeping costs at a minimum, it is important to carry out regular
maintenance projects to ensure cost effective, and energy efficient lighting services. The scope of such
maintenance projects should include: cleaning luminaires and all corresponding parts (including
refractors/lenses, reflectors, lamps, and control gear components); inspection of electrical wiring;
measurement of input voltage; and replacement of broken or dysfunctional luminaires lamp, and
component of the control system (such as photoelectric controls). The frequency of maintenance must
be based on the degree of local pollution, and take into account pedestrian and vehicular traffic, safety,
security, and economic constraints.
As shown in Figure 5-1, HID lamps require more frequent replacement than LEDs due to shorter
average lamp life.

APPENDIX 1: LIGHTING
Color Rendering. A term used to describe the effect that a light source has on the apparent
(conscious or unconscious) color of an object when it is compared to a reference light source.
Color Rendering Index or CRI (of a Light Source). This is measurement system used to evaluate
color rendering. This measures the degree to which the apparent color of a single object changes from
one light source to another. It makes this measurements based on reference to a single light source,
emitting a particular color temperature. Subsequent ratings are based on variance from apparent color
from the constant light source. Values assigned to common light sources tend to vary between 20 to
100 CRI units, in which 100 indicates no color shift, and a low CRI rating suggests that the color of an
object will appear unnatural under the particular source.
Color Temperature. A form of specifying the color appearance of a light source, relating the color to
a reference source heated to a particular temperature, measured by the thermal unit Kelvin. The measurement can also be described as the warmth or coolness of a light source. Generally, sources
below 3,200 K are considered warm, while those above 4,000 K are considered cool sources.
Distribution Utility. An electric cooperative, private corporation, government-owned utility, or existing local government unit, that has an exclusive franchise to operate a distribution system.
Electric Utility. A private or government corporation, mainly responsible for the distribution of electricity to end-users or consumers.
Efcacy. The number of lumens produced by a lamp for each watt of electrical power it consumes.
The unit for measuring efficacy is lumens per watt.
Illuminance. The density of luminous flux on a surface, measured in footcandles, fc (or lux, lx). One
footcandle is the illumination of a surface one square foot in area on which there is a uniformly distributed luminous ux of one lumen. One footcandle is 10.76 lux.
Illumination. Illumination is the density of luminous flux per unit area on an intercepting surface at any
given point.
Lumen. This is the unit used to describe the quantity of light radiated from a light source. The lumen
is the unit for measuring luminous flux, or light flow. It is the amount of luminous flux of light radiated
into a solid angle of one steridian by the uniform light source of one candela used to describe the quantity of light radiated from a light source.
Luminaires. Luminaires are complete lighting systems: they consist of the lamps, lens, wiring, and
reflective materials used to direct light.
Luminaire Efciency. The ratio of total lumen output of a luminaire and the lumen output of the
lamps, expressed as percentage.
Luminance (Photometric Brightness). This describes the property of light we can see with our
eyes. It is the quantity of luminous flux emitted, reflected, or transmitted from a surface in a particular
direction, and is measured in candelas (cd) per unit area cd/ft2 or cd/m2.
Luminous Flux. Time rate flow of light, measured in lumens (lm). One lumen is the amount of light
which falls on an area of one square foot, every point of which is one foot from the source of one
candela. A light source of one candela emits a total of 12.57 lumens.
Luminous Intensity. The force of luminous flux in a specified direction, measured in candela (cd).
Lux (lx). The illuminance produced by a luminous flux of one lumen, uniformly distributed over a
surface of one (1) square meter.
Visibility. The degree to which something can be detected by the eye.

Example:
The following example shows how this formula might be applied:
Example: The ABC municipality is considering replacing 100 sets of street lighting. They conduct the
LCCA between a set of 250 watts mercury vapor (MV) and 90 watts LED street lighting set. The cost
of a single set of LED lamp and mercury vapor is $700 and $100, respectively. The electricity cost is
$0.3 per kWh. The yearly operating hours of the system is 4,300 hours.
Estimated Initial Cost (for replacement the same housing):

Ci+Cm+Ce+Cr-S
= $223,000
Note:
1 Each MV luminaire consumes about 290W due to additional losses in control gear which are estimated at 15% of lamp wattage.
2 Based on USD 50 per replacement (labor and equipment costs)
In this example, the initial cost of LED luminaires is clearly higher than that of the MV system; however,
after an approximate 13,000 hours (3 years period, 4,300 hours. of usage per year), the MV systems
overall costs exceed that of the LEDs due to higher energy consumption costs of the MV system.
