Road Lighting Course A - to AS/NZS 1158
Overview
The New Zealand road lighting series of standards is continually being updated. The updates make several changes, which are relatively small overall, but key ones in terms of environmental protection, maintenance, and observer position luminance analysis. The results recognise changes in trends internationally and incorporate user feedback on the original publications. The overall effect on road and pedestrian area lighting designs is small but subtle and it is important that designers and asset owners understand these. A new part is 1158.4 Lighting of Pedestrian Crossings (June 2009) and revisions published in 2010 include 1158.6 Luminaires and 1158.1.2 Guide to design installation operation and maintenance.
The 2012 course material will address these revisions and the new standard.
This one day course covers the series of AS/NZS 1158 Road Lighting Standards. The design of lighting for vehicle and pedestrian road users is covered as well as historical reasoning behind "why we light roads". It allows users to gain full advantage from the broad guidance they now provide. The course will cover the elements of good road lighting design for all parts of the road network using the computer techniques specified in the standard.

Optional Night Tour
An optional night tour is available on the evening of this course. This tour of road lighting installations will take approximately two hours, commencing at dusk. Participants will get to see examples of both good and not so good installations and, weather permitting, an opportunity to observe and/or take lighting field measurements. An additional charge of $60.00 per person + GST is payable for the optional night tour
