Australian Government Report : Public Lighting
A 54-page report prepared by Kevin Poulton & Associates, Genesis Automation and Deni Greene Consulting Services for the Australian Greenhouse Office makes for interesting reading (see link below).
Inter alia, it highlights that :
“current public lighting in Australia, particularly for minor roads and streets, uses large amounts of energy and financial resources, while typically failing to provide high quality lighting. It is possible to improve lighting quality while reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and lowering costs”.
The report goes on to mention the "apparent failure of most minor road public lighting to meet AS1158", and the "insufficient data on the performance requirements for public lighting". It says that "Modern, well designed, public lighting, . . . , upgrades also have the potential to improve illuminance, light distribution, light colour, reliability, reduce glare and reduce stray and upward light."
As a supplier of high-end lighting products and services, we welcome this report and invite all parties concerned (councils, utilities, electricity distributors, traffic authorities, consultants, developers) to enter into a dialogue with us.
We argue that the present approval procedures for modern products, suitable for achieving the report´s objectives, are a hindrance. Customers (e.g. councils) put themselves at risk of litigation over unsuitable or inadequate lighting in our ever-more litigious society. Click here for related link
