Light Distribution

This option offers an opportunity to analyze and optimize the Light Distribution from street- lighting. Strategic placing of light poles will improve efficiency and provide adequate lighting throughout the municipality.

infoTOWN will display lighting distribution buffer zones around each streetlight that is included in the system. Individual municipalities determine the number of light poles that are included in this analysis. You may choose to include all streetlights whether they are privately or publicly owned, only those owned by the municipality or only those in a specific area.

A Light Buffers dialog box appears on the screen. This will allow you to either accept the default buffers of 20m and 35m or to enter another distance.

In the Map Viewing Area the Streetlights each display a buffer consisting of the two distances that have been specified.

The green area represents the first distance of 20m and the purple area represents the second distance of 35m. (At default settings) This will give you an accurate picture of the Light Distribution you have achieved with the existing streetlights. From here, decisions can be made to improve efficiency in lighting by moving or adding light poles.
