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.

Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as a Criteria Change Request (CCR).

Use of electronic communication is encouraged.

Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer choices or locations where text must be supplied by the designer.

NOTE: This paragraph is used to list the publications cited in the text of the guide specification. The publications are referred to in the text by basic designation only and listed in this paragraph by organization, designation, date, and title.

Use the Reference Wizard's Check Reference feature when you add a RID outside of the Section's Reference Article to automatically place the reference in the Reference Article. Also use the Reference Wizard's Check Reference feature to update the issue dates.

References not used in the text will automatically be deleted from this section of the project specification when you choose to reconcile references in the publish print process.

NOTE: Review Submittal Description (SD) definitions in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and edit the following list to reflect only the submittals required for the project. Submittals should be kept to the minimum required for adequate quality control.

A “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing “G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor’s Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.

For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy, Air Force, and NASA projects.

Choose the first bracketed item for Navy, Air Force and NASA projects, or choose the second bracketed item for Army projects.

NOTE: If Section 26 00 00.00 40 GENERAL ELECTRICAL PROVISIONS is not included in the project specification, applicable requirements therefrom should be inserted and the following paragraph deleted.

NOTE: Revise as necessary to meet project requirements.

NOTE: Select street-lighting luminaires, ballasts, and lamps from the following parts to suit project requirements.

Factors which will affect the selection of luminaire types include the following:

Fixture efficiency is the percent of available lumens from the light source that will be emitted from the fixture. The most efficient fixture should be selected commensurate with the other design requirements.

The spacing to mounting height ratio (S/MH) indicates how far apart the fixtures can be placed in relation to their mounting height. This ratio should be available in the fixture manufacturer's literature. A medium-to-wide distribution of light from the fixture should be selected. Fewer fixtures will be required using the larger, more efficient light sources, and overlapping light patterns will provide greater uniformity of illumination and increase light on vertical surfaces.

High power factor ballasts should be selected.

NOTE: Select solid-state ballasts, if available and most efficient.

NOTE: Select one of the following two paragraphs. Add watt requirements on the drawings.
