measured starting from the end of pole arm.

Why double sided with offset not double Side opposite?!

We need to do that only if the middle of the road is more

illuminated than road sides.

And according to the Egyptian code:

W = 1.5h Use Double Sided with offset (Zigzag).

W = 2h Use Double Sided Opposite.

W >= 12m Use Double Sided not Single Sided for

good reliability.

There is no different between double sided and on middle except

that on middle is more economic because on one Pole you can
hold two arms for both sides of the Road.

Notice that:

12 m 400 watt

16 m 600 watt

Yellow light is preferred because it can illuminate in fog cases.

Light Loss Factor ( LLF )

1. Dust deposition

2. Maintenance Factor

3. Depreciation Factor

Take this Factor : 0.8 Residential

0.6 - 0.7 Industrial

Utilization Factor ( Uf )
You can Get it Using one of these two ways:

1. Room Index

=
(+)

h : Distance from Luminaire to Work plane

2. Reflection Factor

Using : Ceiling Reflection Factor

Floor Reflection Factor

Wall Reflection Factor

And Using Tables, you get the Utilization Factor

In most cases we take it 0.8

Notice that:

Number of Luminaires ( N ) may be 5.4 so we take it 6 Luminaires.
