Road & Infrastructure
Large industrial complexes, warehouses, transport hubs, university campuses and similar often have roadways, car parks and vehicle manoeuvring areas.
In all cases, the key objective is to ensure the safety of the users, and to expedite fast and safe operations.
Choice of Luminaire
The Starbeam is ideal for roadway lighting because the distribution has been tailored to the task, offering increased spacing with good uniformity.
Illumination Levels
The illumination level is determined by the density of traffic flow. The higher the density of vehicles, the greater the risk, so the illumination level is increased.
| Activity | Minimum maintained illuminance (lx) | uniformity (U0) | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safe pedestrian movement in low risk areas | 5 | 0.25 | Industrial storage areas with only occasional traffic |
| Safe movement of slow vehicles | 10 | 0.4 | Open storage areas served by forklift trucks |
| Safe movement in medium risk areas | 20 | 0.4 | Vehicle storage areas, container terminals with frequent traffic |
| Normal traffic | 20 | 0.4 | Road lighting in container terminals, marshalling yards |
| Very rough work | 20 | 0.25 | Excavation and site clearance |
| Rough work | 50 | 0.25 | Handling timber |
| Safe movement in high risk areas | 50 | 0.4 | Critical area within chemical plants, oil refineries etc. |
| Normal work | 100 | 0.5 | Brick laying, carpentry |
| Fine work | 200 | 0.5 | Painting, electrical work |
