1. NATIONAL LIGHTING CODE
SP 72:2010

2. Is this Road Lighting correct ?
And what about this???

3. Confusion !!!!!!
What standard should be considered for SAFE and appropriate illumination on different type of Roads ?
What should be Minimum lux level ?
What should be Average lux level?
What should be the minimum input system load per km to achieve appropriate Illuminance?
How to verify the uniformity?

13. Terminology
Lux (lm/mtr2) Lux = 𝐿𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑠 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎

14. Terminology Emin = Minimum Lux Level on Road.
Emax = Maximum Lux Level on Road.
Eav = Calculated Average Lux as per Nine Point Method ( For Street Lighting).
Uniformity Ratio = Emin / Eav
Transverse Ratio = Emin / Emax

22. Calculation Lumens Received By reference Plane = 82775 Lm
Covered Area (70 Mtr Diameter) = 3.14 x 35 x 35

LPD = (200∗ ) = 0.33 watt / sqmtr
LPW = (200∗ ) = 65.4 lm /watt
Eav = = 21.5 Lux (At 70 Mtr Dia.)

23. Lumen Per Watt
The Lumen Per watt is not a significant parameter to compare the performance of LED luminaries.
The lumen output of Metal Halide remains the highest at about 125 Lm per watt but it is well excepted that these are most inefficient and thereby are being proposed for replacement with LEDs for the same reason.
The comparison on basis of Lumen per Watt may be incorrect requiring additional consideration of UTILIZATION FACTOR.

25. Energy Effective lighting systems (part 9)
Energy Saving In Lighting is a Top Priority as substantial savings can be achieved.
Technology available to ensure trouble free continuous operation.
Long Life of LED luminaries with Zero Maintenance can reduce the burden upon Municipality.
Selection of Most Efficient Street Lighting Systems- Very Important.
Overall Cost Of Ownership
Capital Cost
Energy Cost
Maintenance Cost
Evaluation of different solutions meeting the Illumination requirement (as defined by A2/A1/B2/B1), on Cost Of Ownership.

26. Energy Effective lighting systems (part 9)
When upgrading an existing installation, a capital investment is made.
An Energy Effective Lighting Systems are that which deliver the promised payback and return on the investment.

27. Analysis of energy efficient lighting
Capital Cost = Complete Lighting Cost Installation Cost
Annual Energy Saving:
= (A-B) X Annual operating hour
X Energy Rate
Here A = Existing System Wattage (kW)
B = New System Wattage (kW)

28. Determine Payback Annual Operating Cost
= Annual Energy Cost + Annual Maintenance cost
Payback (Years) = 𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔
5 year Cash Flow = [5 (Years) – Payback(Years)] X annual Energy Saving
Simple Return On investment (%): = 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑆𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 x 100

29. Evaluation of bidders Evaluation with respect of Road Types.
Cost of Ownership over 5 year period = Capital Investment + Energy Consumed + Maintenance Cost.
