    The document discusses recommendations for street lighting levels based on IES guidelines. It recommends local residential roads have 0.4 footcandles of lighting while local commercial roads have 0.9 footcandles. Collector roads should have 0.6 footcandles for residential areas and 1.2 footcandles for commercial. Where lighting levels are higher than recommended, lower wattage lamps and ballasts could be used for retrofitting to reduce levels. LED technology is suggested for long term due to benefits like uniformity, color and lifespan.

    3 Street Lighting
    Locations that are higher than IES recommendations may provide some opportunities for retrofits.
    Current recommendations for average horizontal illuminance on typical asphalt road surfaces include:
    local road in area of low pedestrian conflict (typically residential) = 0.4 fc
    local road in area of high pedestrian conflict (typically commercial) = 0.9 fc
    collector road in area of low pedestrian conflict (typically residential) = 0.6 fc
    collector road in area of high pedestrian conflict (typically commercial) = 1.2 fc.

    4.3.1

    Recommendations

    Lower wattage HPS or MH lamps and ballasts could be retrofitted where appropriate to bring light
    levels to the appropriate level and increase the efficacy of the lamp and ballast combinations. LED
    technology should be considered as a long term retrofit strategy because of its potential for better
    uniformity, whiter color, and expected long life.
