ABSTRACT

V41 STREET/AREA FLOODLIGHTING

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.
