ABSTRACT

Good outdoor lighting improves the ability to have natural surveillance and good visibility, which creates a sense of security and safety, and should also minimize energy usage, operating costs, and the obtrusive and imposing glare. Many outdoor lights are improperly designed and improperly aimed, resulting in a costly, wasteful, and distracting glare of light (Good Neighbor Outdoor Lighting 2006). Explore the use of new lighting sources currently under development, such as induction and LEDs, that are more energy efcient, generate similar light levels, and are cheaper to operate than metal-halide or mercury-vapor lamp installations.
