Roadway Lighting

Lumen-method roadway lighting design — required lumens per pole, average illuminance, and pole spacing for a target Eav with given lamp lumens.

Input

Results

Lumens reaching surface per pole
Spacing S (m)
Spacing/Width ratio
# poles per km
Method

Eav = (lampLm · CU · LLF) / (S · W). Solve for S = (lampLm · CU · LLF) / (Eav · W). For opposite or staggered, effective spacing per side is doubled (use S/2 per pole on each side).
