Scope
This part of this European Standard defines performance requirements which are specified as lighting classes for road lighting aiming at the visual needs of road users, and it considers environmental aspects of road lighting.
NOTE Installed luminous intensity classes for the restriction of disability glare and control of obtrusive light and installed glare index classes for the restriction of discomfort glare are defined in the informative Annex A. Lighting of pedestrian crossings is discussed in the informative Annex B. Disability glare evaluation for conflict areas (C classes) and pedestrian and pedal cyclists (P classes) is discussed in the informative Annex C.
Purpose
EN 13201-2 has already identified published errors that require correction. WG12 also recommends to update this part to reflect the wider use of LEDs and adaptive lighting control.
The use LED lighting also brings with it the need to control spill and obtrusive light as well as ensuring on new installations improved uniformity can be achieved without significant increased energy consumption.
