1) Collect information and understand the situation:
Lighting engineering manufacturers mainly collect design basis materials such as design specifications and standard atlases, and collect equipment selection data such as light source and lamp product samples. At the same time, outdoor lighting projects also need to understand process production, use requirements, and architectural and structural conditions.
2) Lighting design:
Outdoor lighting custom lighting design follows the following steps: collect original data → determine the lighting method and type → determine a reasonable light source → select the form of the lamp and determine the model → arrange the lamps reasonably → calculate the illuminance and determine the installation power of the light source → perform glare Evaluation→Determine the lighting control strategy, etc.
3) Electrical design:
The steps of electrical design for outdoor lighting fixtures are as follows: determine the power distribution mode → divide the power supply range of each switchboard and its installation location → calculate the working current of each branch line and trunk line, select the wire cross section and type, laying method, pipe diameter, and Carry out the calculation of the neutral line current and voltage loss→select the electrical equipment.
4) Pipe network finalization:
In the design process of outdoor lighting fixtures, the pipeline network should be summarized with other professional designs, and carefully check whether there are contradictions and conflicts between the pipelines. In general, avoid electrical lines or take protective measures
In the installation and laying of electrical lighting, there are often pre-buried threading pipes, welded parts of brackets or pre-buried holes, etc., which should be submitted to the civil engineering when summarizing. The information mentioned in the outdoor lighting project should be specific and accurate, such as the position of the reserved hole, the distance from the coordinate axis, and so on.
After the customer signs and confirms, the purchasing department should place an order with the factory for the lamps and materials required for production. The engineering department should start the installation process based on the details of the construction plan. Arrange the installers, prepare the required materials, such as wires, transformers, etc., and start some pre-installation preparations, such as going to the site for wiring, placing luminous characters, and selecting the location of the outdoor lighting fixtures to be installed according to the design plan.
In addition to lighting factors, the material used for outdoor lighting fixtures is also an important factor to consider, as this may directly affect the life of the lighting equipment.
There are many materials from which outdoor lighting fixtures are made. In general, there may be metal, plastic, glass, ceramic, etc. Metals are generally long-lived, resistant to corrosion and not suitable for aging. Like the more stylish iron lamps, it has a long lifespan, but it may have become outdated due to its age. Metal parts on general lighting fixtures can oxidize slowly and typically last about 5 years. Outdoor lighting fixtures last less, age faster, and are easily warped by heat. Special attention should be paid to the firmness of the chassis and other components during installation. Glass and ceramic lighting generally have a longer lifespan.
