Outdoor lighting fixtures are divided into two categories: functional lighting and artistic effect lighting. Functional lighting fixtures mainly include: street lights, high pole lights, and garden lights.
Their main function is to provide professional outdoor lighting fixtures with basic lighting. In addition to considering energy saving and lifespan in the design of outdoor lighting fixtures, the control of glare value is an important point in our lighting design.
Artistic effect outdoor lighting fixtures mainly include: metal halide lamps, sodium lamps, LED spotlights, LED wall washers, LED linear lights, LED display screens, underwater lights, lawn lights, etc., which are further divided into:
1. Direct lighting lamps: The light is emitted through the lamps, and 90-100% of the luminous flux reaches the assumed working surface. This lighting method is direct lighting. This lighting method has a strong contrast between light and dark and can create interesting and vivid light and shadow effects, which can highlight the status of the work surface in the entire environment. However, due to the high brightness, glare should be prevented. Such as factories, ordinary offices, etc., these types of lamps are mainly metal halide lamps.
Pay special attention to the angle of view when selecting the lamp model and the angle of installation. Since the roof inclinations of ancient buildings vary greatly, adjustments need to be made according to the specific conditions on site to ensure the completion of the design effect. Of course, the hierarchy of ancient buildings in my country requires the style and scale of buildings according to people’s status, and is reflected in the roof style. We can carry out the overall planning of ancient architectural lighting design based on the order of these roof styles.
Outdoor lighting projects are still a necessity in our modern life. Lighting for traveling at night is a functional need, and lighting for night life is a spiritual need. Putting aside the functional lighting of roads and bridges, the landscape lighting of urban commercial squares, cultural blocks, tourist attractions, and landmark buildings creates a colorful and distinctive light environment for people’s leisure and consumption.
Outdoor lighting projects should be based on urban construction and planning. On the basis of fully understanding the city’s natural landscape, human history, and folk customs, we should strictly follow a series of standards for lighting projects, conceive ideas, standardize construction, and create artistic and innovative buildings. and feasible night scene effects.
The lighting of outdoor lighting projects should be humanistic, and lighting design should become a visual guide for interpreting the city and clarifying the urban spatial structure; the construction positioning and construction steps of the lighting project should match the policy; the operation and maintenance of the lighting project must comply with energy-saving standards , on the premise of meeting the lighting effect, rationally utilizing every energy to reduce energy consumption and costs.
In recent years, environmental problems have become more and more serious, and traditional resources have become increasingly scarce. As a result, outdoor lighting fixtures have attracted widespread attention as relatively energy-saving new energy sources. Outdoor lighting fixtures have the characteristics of convenience, easy operation, low demand and globality, and their adaptability to the operating area is also extremely high. The maturity of the method has also reduced the price of outdoor lighting lamps.
