Our photometric statements and lighting planning are based not only on our own experience but also on the following literature:

Road lighting · EN 13201
With road lighting, a general distinction is made between two
evaluation criteria. With roads with traffic > 30 kph, the brightness
of the carriageway is assessed according to luminance in the classes
ME 1ME 6, and with traffic ≤ 30 kph roads closed to through traffic,
but also pavements and cycle tracks are assessed according to the
lighting classes S1-S6.

Areas for pedestrians
New urban planning concepts for pedestrian zones and
residential courtyards place the mains focus on people.
Public areas are intended to promote communication.
The choice and arrangement of the right luminaires are important
design features. Luminaires should be sufficiently glare-free and
should illuminate adjacent façades. This facilitates orientation
and improves safety.

Sports lighting · EN 12193
The lighting in sports venues, indoor sports halls and swimming
pools should create optimum conditions for the sportspersons,
spectators and referees. Depending on the level of competition,
a distinction is made between 3 levels of illumination.
Class 1: international / national and regional
Class 2: regional and local
Class 3: local, training, school and recreational sport
