c).

Regular replacement of depreciated lamp

d). Periodic cleaning of the luminaires either 0.8-0.9

w = Width of the roadway

d = Distance between luminaires

cu = Coefficient of utilization which is dependent on the type of fixture, mounting height, width
of roadway and the lenght of mast arm or outreach.

The values given are based on the favorable reflectances for asphalt road, the recommended
illumination should be increased by 50%. For concrete road, the recommended value could be
decreased by 25%.

In decreasing street illumination, consider the modern lighting today that will be obsolete
tomorrow when the minimum light levels are raised. The increasing motor vehicle speed and the
incerasing congestiin in the street requires higher level of highway lighting. Therefore, future
needs for light should be considered in the design.

ILLUSTRATION 6-10

Considering the data as presented on Figure 6-7 when the night pedestrian traffic is estimated oto
be light and the night vehicular traffic is to be medium, determine the required lumens if theroad
concrete is a pavement.
