GENERAL
Street area floodlighting – General Preamble: There are an enormous number of luminaires available which are designed for small scale urban and garden projects. The designs are continually changing and the landscape designer is advised to consult the manufacturer's latest catalogue. Most manufacturers supply light fittings suitable for column, bracket, bulkhead, wall or soffit mounting. Highway lamps and columns for trafficked roads are not included in this section as the design of highway lighting is a very specialized subject outside the scope of most landscape contracts. The IP reference number refers to the waterproof properties of the fitting; the higher the number the more waterproof the fitting. Most items can be fitted with time clocks or PIR controls.
