Roadways
Longitudinal distribution, threshold visibility, pavement reflectance, pole spacing and glare boundaries define the calculation.
Application conditions first
Each environment changes the optical, mechanical and operational priorities used to define a suitable system.
Longitudinal distribution, threshold visibility, pavement reflectance, pole spacing and glare boundaries define the calculation.
Broad area coverage must support pedestrian recognition, vehicle circulation and controlled spill at site edges.
Aiming, horizontal and vertical illuminance, uniformity and upward light require coordinated mounting positions.
Human-scale mounting, warmer CCT options and clear transitions help people navigate without excessive brightness.
Task visibility, large-area coverage, surge exposure and maintenance access shape robust pole and optic choices.
Beam control, shielding and material rendering matter more than a single maximum-output figure.
Platform edges, crossings and passenger recognition require carefully balanced horizontal and vertical light.
Solar resource, autonomy, service access and nighttime operating profiles must be evaluated together.
| Application | Primary optical question | System question | Typical evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roadway | Uniformity and longitudinal reach | Spacing, surge and controls | IES/LDT calculation |
| Sports | Horizontal and vertical levels | Aiming and switching groups | Aiming schedule |
| Public realm | Visual comfort and boundary spill | Operating profile and service access | Scene schedule and plan |
| Remote solar | Useful distribution at selected height | Seasonal resource and autonomy | Energy balance assumptions |
Project standards and authority requirements determine final criteria. Fonroche supports comparison without representing a generic configuration as universally compliant.
