    This document outlines the steps for designing an efficient street lighting system using Dialux software. The first step is to classify the street type based on user and speed. The second step is to select the illumination class and arrangement of light poles based on the street type. Light pole heights range from under 6 meters for alleys to 18 meters for large areas. The third step is to calculate lighting parameters such as average luminance, uniformity, and threshold increment using Dialux to ensure design requirements are met. Key considerations for intersections and curves are also discussed.

    STREET LIGHTING DESIGN

    3/2020 Summary of street lighting design steps


    Street Lighting Design
    S U M M A RY O F S T R E E T L I G H T I N G D E S I G N S T E P S

    We will start according to the steps of Dailux lighting design program

    1st step is to detect the street type


    1st step is to detect the street type; it will be according to street users and speed conditions

    & Class F: Lighting for roads with special requirement such as roads near air fields, railways and docks

    2 n d step is to detect the l umination class and luminaire arrangement
    In this step we will select “first” the Lumination class according to road class selected in the previous
    step.

    “Second step” Determine lighting poles height and distribution

    Pole Application
    Height

    < 6 Meter Majority of side streets or alleys, Public gardens and parking Area to make people feel safe

    8 Meter Urban traffic route , the multiplicity of road junctions

    10 Meter Urban traffic routes

    12 Meter Heavily used routes

    18 Meter High mast lighting poles shall be installed at large-scale area such as airports, dockyards,
    large industrial areas, sports areas and road Intersections.

    Arrangement Street type Lighting Pole height


    One Side For narrower roads. Street wide = < pole height
    Arrangement
    ‫عرض الشارع مساو أو اقل من ارتفاع‬
    ‫العامود‬

    Staggered For Medium Size roads Street wide = (1or x1.5) pole
    Arrangement height

    1.5 ‫ إلى‬1 ‫عرض الشارع مساويا مـن‬


    ‫ارتفاع الكشاف‬
    Opposite For Medium Size roads. Street wide > (x1.5) pole
    Arrangement height

    ‫عرض الشارع أكبر من مرة ونصف‬


    ‫ارتفاع العامود‬

    Median For Large Size roads. Street wide = < pole height
    Arrangement
    ‫ارتفاع الكشافات مساو أو أكبر من‬
    ‫العرض الفعلى للشارع‬

    Overhead For narrower roads. lighting lamp is suspended in


    Arrangement height, 6 or 8 meters

    ‫ و‬6 ‫تعليق الكشافات على ارتفاع ما بين‬


    ‫ أمتار‬8
    Distribution methods can be combined together as “Opposite & Median”

    Intersection lighting

    The distribution of lighting in the intersections should be taken into consideration as follows:

    In the curves, the following should be observed:

    Page 6
    After these steps, we must calculate the result by Dialux and be sure that all results are accepted

    Where:

    - Lav - average luminance


    - Uo - overall uniformity
    - Ul - longitudinal uniformity
    - TI - threshold increment
    - SR - surround ratio

    Calculating steps in Dialux can be found in the contents of the Dialux
