ROADWAY LIGHTING
NOTE: Delete, revise, or add to the text in this section to cover project requirements.
Notes are for designer information and will not appear in the final project specification.
This section covers highway and roadway lighting standards and luminaires.
Drawings should show details of each street lighting fixture with letter designation
keyed to the drawings and electrical symbols describing the type, style, class,
kind, and size of fixture as follows:
Roadway lighting fixtures including lighting standards, brackets, foundations,
and luminaires for IES as listed in IES RP-8, "Lighting Distribution Patterns."
Roadway-lighting standards and fixture details on drawings should describe,
in plan and elevation, the type and kind of pole, bracket, luminaire, base,
and foundation required for installation at the location indicated. Elevation
details should indicate height of pole, bracket-spread length, luminaire, depth
of foundation, anchor bolts, underground conduit connections, ground rods, and
ground connections. Plan views should indicate foundation configuration, conduit
stub-ups, base dimensions, and bolt circles. Foundation detail drawings should
accurately describe the nature and properties of soil surrounding foundations
for the support of lighting standards.
Foundations for installation of roadway and flood-lighting standards and fixtures
in filled locations may require modification to resist horizontal movement without
permanent set under stipulated wind loads.
Comments and suggestions on this guide specification are welcome and should
be directed to the technical proponent of the specification. A listing of
technical
proponents, including their organization designation and telephone number, is
on the Internet.
Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer choices or locations where
