This is the first all-inclusive guide to exterior lighting. It provides a comprehensive reference for all outdoor lighting practitioners and a source of information and advice for related professions such as road engineers, planners, environmental health officers and non-lighting engineers who require an insight into all forms of exterior lighting - from roadlighting, to floodlighting a building, to elaborate Christmas decorations. Any lighting practitioner can look up details on exterior lighting and a non-expert can gain a thorough insight into the subject.Increasing concern over the environment and the effects of light pollution and obtrusive light on our lives has driven the need for help and advice to non-lighting practitioners in an easily understood and straightforward manner. Specialists will value the detailed and dependable information on such topics as standards and related design, installation and maintenance problems. Especially useful is the guidance on strategic urban lighting plans,luminaries, hazardous-area lighting, health and safety, and the appendix on ‘The Outdoor Environment' which gives extensive advice on what to do and what not to do. The book contains a glossary, list of abbreviations, bibliography and references.
