The floodlights should be aimed up to 90 degrees apart.Ībout Jignesh.Parmar (B.E,Mtech,MIE,FIE,CEng). Each floodlight should be vertically aimed according to the two-thirds rule. When two floodlights is mounted to a single pole then horizontal aiming also must be considered. 2 (8 Meter mounting height) = 16 Meter. If a pole is 8 Meter high, the vertical aiming point should not exceed 16 Meter. To minimize glare, the recommended aiming point distance should never exceed twice the mounting height. 2/3 (16 Meter) = 10.6 Meter aiming point. Aiming point = 2/3 Distance to be lighted. If the area to be lighted is 16 Meter across, the recommended aiming point is 10.6 Meter. The fixture should be aimed 2/3 of the distance across the area to be lighted and at least 30 degrees below horizontal. 4 (8 Meter pole) = 32 Meter between poles. If the mounting height of luminar /Pole is 8 Meter than distance between adjacent Luminar is 32 Meter. When more than one Luminar / pole is required than distance between two adjacent luminar / Pole is 4 times Mounting height of luminar /pole. Mounting height = 1/2 distance to be lighted. If the area to be lighted is 16 Meter, the lowest recommended mounting height is 8 Meter. Mounting height should be one half the distance across the area to be lighted. There are three factor should be consider while designing of outdoor flood lighting.
Normally Pole mounted floodlights are used to illuminate general lighting area of parking lots and storage yards. Outdoor Lighting can be classified according to the location where it can be installed or its function which use for highlight landscape area.
