The basic lighting arrangements that a lighting designer can use to satisfy the lighting requirements of lighting level, uniformity, visual guidance and glare restriction, are described in the first part of this chapter. The quality of the lighting installation may deteriorate too much under adverse weather conditions, if those conditions are not considered in the design process. Guidance on how to optimize installations for adverse weather circumstances are therefore given. The lighting quality will also deteriorate due to lamp-lumen depreciation, lamp failure and luminaire fouling. It is therefore the task of the lighting designer to advise a suitable maintenance period and to design the initial installation so that the lighting quality will never fall below specification. Lighting design and maintenance optimization will therefore be discussed in a further part of this chapter. Another task of the lighting designer is to make a plan for how the lighting installation will be controlled and operated. This subject will also be dealt with in this chapter. Finally, the environmental aspects of road lighting will be discussed in order to ensure that the installation is sustainable.
