Light sources
Residential streets are quite often lit with high-pressure sodium lamps, meaning a relatively low colour
rendering index. However, recent studies on mesopic vision have lead to recommendations to use
white light for areas where the peripheral vision of users is of important contribution.
Therefore, metal halide lamps (compact ceramic burner lamps and CosmoWhite lamps) or warm white
LEDs are recommended.
Luminaires
The luminaires chosen to light residential streets should have a high level of tightness (at least IP 66),
in order to maintain initial performances for as long as possible during the lifetime of the installation.
When the luminaires or lanterns are installed at a very low mounting height (up to 5m), consideration
must be given to vandalism by using strong materials for the construction of the lanterns, like
aluminium for the body and glass or polycarbonate for the protector bowl.
These luminaires will preferably comply with the Green Light Label as defined by Schrder.
Installation layout
The use of aesthetically well designed lighting material is preferred by day to contribute to the harmony
of the residential environment. For the same reason, the mounting height of the luminaire should be
kept relatively low (at least lower than adjacent buildings). Pole heights of 6m to 8m are considered as
a maximum.
Staggered installations may also be used frequently, in order to balance the light in a better way on
both sides of the street.
The lighting installation shall be energy efficient, with a SLEEC-E value (Street Lighting Energy
Efficiency Criterion Illuminance based) being at a maximum equal to 0.07W/lux/m.
The following drawing shows a typical installation for a residential street.
