The role and characteristics of urban road lighting
In terms of large areas, every city has its own style, especially the lighting of city squares and major and minor roads. From a small area, the style of each street and building is also different. Therefore, while giving full play to the role of the urban lighting environment, it is important to highlight the role of the decorative environment and achieve the harmony and unity of functionality and viewing.
So which aspect should be chosen between lighting and decoration as the focus of urban road lighting design? Or can it be completely unified in terms of functionality, viewing and economy?
In fact, there is a unified relationship between them, but there is more of a complementary relationship, which requires designers to seek unity in the complementarity. Moreover, the viewing and functionality of road lighting is relatively compared. The designer should design a variety of programs in accordance with the requirements of 'Urban Road Lighting Design Standard' and 'Urban Night Lighting Design Code' to maintain the best effect.
Since the main starting point of the functional street lamp is the illuminance, it uses the redistribution of the light by the lamps to make the urban roads obtain relatively high illuminance and uniformity, and due to the high light utilization rate of the lamps, the power loss per unit lighting area is relatively high. Small, so it is relatively advantageous in terms of energy saving and maintenance costs.
