HOLOPHANE®

Today’s outdoor lighting needs present newchallenges for those involved with lightingthe nighttime environment. Withoutcompromise, strong consideration must bemade to providing safety and security, yetawareness of reducing light pollution andtrespass should also be strongly consideredin many communities.

Given the variety of lighting objectivesassociated with different outdoorapplications, Holophane has gone to greatlengths to develop luminaires that providetrue choice in optical performance.Specifically, luminaire families have beendeveloped to provide a choice of varyingdegrees of “cutoff”, different amounts ofcontrolled uplight (or no uplight), multipledistributions, and distinctive effects. Inaddition, decorative covers and internalshields are available and work effectivelyto significantly reduce the unwanteduplight and “spill” light.

The following guide provides the greatvariety of outdoor lighting products thatHolophane has available for communitiesconscious about reducing light pollutionand trespass without compromise of safety,security, commerce, style, and publicprestige.

Choice for Differing Applications

Communities all over the world makedecisions to light their nighttimeenvironment, very often, with specificgoals and objectives for the outcome.Importantly, the tasks and activities differconsiderably from place to place.

The goal to provide increased safety andsecurity for nighttime activity can drive aneed for lighting. Also, revitalization ofcities, towns, boulevards, shoppingdistricts, and residential developments forinspired community spirit and increasedpublic recognition has driven new lightinginstallations. Authorities light roadways,ports, and yards to provide adequatevisibility for the purposes of improvedproductivity, as well as safety and security.Often, people will install outdoor lightingfor increased commerce or attractingnighttime attention to sell goods andservices, while others want just enoughlighting to deter crime and vandalism.Furthermore, nighttime venues that hostconcerts and sporting events requirespecific types of lighting. Lastly, lightingmonuments, landscapes, or signage mayhave specific needs and requirements.

Given the vast amount of activities thattake place in our nighttime environmentand the varying objectives associated witheach project, it is essential that lightingdecision-makers have luminaire choicesspecific to optical and mechanicalperformance, purpose, and appearance.Ultimately, this will allow for the ability tobest choose a system that will mosteffectively illuminate a specificenvironment.

The simulations above visually emphasizethe different considerations one mustgive to luminaire selection for differingapplications. The lighting performancemust complement the environment andits activities within the space. Forexample, the top residential simulationwould typically be more sensitive tohigher light levels and light trespass thanthe bottom urban simulation.

• No direct uplight component• Excellent light control at

property line• Limits spill light• Reduces glare

IESNA Full Cutoff Luminaires

Full Cutoff — A luminaire lightdistribution with zero candela (intensity)at an angle of 90 degrees or above.Additionally, the candela per 1000 lamplumens does not exceed 100 (10%) at avertical angle of 80 degrees.

Benefits:

• Perceived reduction in “sky glow”

• Excellent light control at property line

• Limits spill light

• Reduces glare

Uplight:

• No uplight allowed

Limitations:

• Reduces pole spacing

• Increases pole and luminaire quantity

• Least cost effective of all cutoffcategories

• Concentrated down light componentresults in maximum reflected uplight

• Potential to have decreased uniformitydue to higher light levels directly underthe pole

IESNA Cutoff Luminaires

Cutoff — A luminaire light distributionwhere the candela per 1000 lamp lumensdoes not exceed 25 (2.5%) at an angle of 90degrees or an angle above. Additionally, thecandela per 1000 lamp lumens does notexceed 100 (10%) at a vertical angle of 80degrees.

Benefits:

• Small increase in vertical lightcompared to full cutoff

• Good light control at property line

• Potential for increased pole spacingand lower overall power consumptionwhen compared to full cutoff

Uplight:

• From as little as 0% to a maximum of16%

Limitations:

• May allow some uplight

• Light control at property line less thanfull cutoff

IESNA Semi-Cutoff Luminaires

Semi-Cutoff — A luminaire light distributionwhere the candela per 1000 lamp lumens doesnot exceed 50 (5%) at an angle of 90 degreesor an angle above. Additionally, the candelaper 1000 lamp lumens does not exceed 200(20%) at a vertical angle of 80 degrees.

Benefits:

• Potential for increased pole spacing andlower overall power consumption whencompared to full cutoff or cutoff

• High angle light accents taller surfaces

• Generally, less reflected light offpavement than full cutoff or cutoffluminaires

• Vertical illumination increases pedestriansense of security and safety.

Uplight:

• Less than 1% to a maximum of 32%

Limitations:

• Greater potential for direct uplightcomponent than cutoff

• Light trespass a concern near residentialareas

• Increased high angle light compared tofull cutoff or cutoff
