LIGHTING

MARKET SURVEY - 2015

OUTDOOR/EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Exterior lighting is an easy and costeffective way to add beauty and
security to your home. Weatherresistant fixtures are available to
highlight landscape features, provide
security at a door or in a dark area, or
allow you to enjoy your patio or garden
in the evening.

TYPES OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Floodlight.
Street and Roadway.
Pathway.
Parking Lot and Garage.
Landscape.

FLOOD LIGHT

Often used for building lighting and

other special application such as
billboard lighting.

Most types of HID lamps are used in

floodlight luminaires.

Exterior building lighting use luminaries

with narrow and wide distributions,
depending on the portion of the building
being illuminated and its distance from
the luminaire mounting location.

Floodlights can be used to illuminate

outdoor playing fields or work zones
during night time hours. The most
common type of floodlights are metal
halide and high pressure sodium lights.

STREET AND ROADWAY

Usually mounted on arms on a pole, or are post-top

mounted.
All types of HID lamps are used; High Pressure Sodium
Lamps commonly used for roadway application.
Luminaires with drop dish, or ovate, refractors are
commonly used in roadway applications. Because of their
appearance, they are referred to as cobra head
luminaires.
Street Lights are used to light roadways and walkways at
night. Some manufacturers are designing LED and
photovoltaic luminaires to provide an energy-efficient

PATHWAY

Walkway and grounds lighting are

often done with bollards.

Mounted in the ground and have the

form of a short thick post similar to
that found on a ship or wharf. They are
used for localized lighting.

Lights placed just above grade level

along sidewalks, driveways, or
informal paths in the landscape to
safely lead a person from one location
to another. Path light fixtures are
generally low to the ground and cast a
spreading light

PARKING

Often uses cut-off or semi-cut-off

luminaries with flat bottomed
lenses.

Mounted on post-top brackets or

on short arms and can be arranged
in single, twin, or quad
configurations.
Wall mounted luminaries are often
used in for small parking lots
immediately adjacent to a building
or in parking structures, often
referred to as wall packs wallmounted luminaries.

LANDSCAPE

Drive up lights

Step lighting

Underwater lighting

Landscape light

Canopy lights

Faade lighting

 Designed to light buildings,

planting, water features
(fountains, swimming pools
and the like), and walkways.
They can be mounted in the
ground, on poles, on trees, or
underwater.
Have special housing,
casketing, lenses, and
electrical wiring hardware
that protects against the
effects of water and
corrosion.

INDOOR/INTERIOR LIGHTING

The definition for interior

lighting is simply a vehicle
for us to be able to carry out
tasks comfortably in our
homes or work places.

TYPES OF INTERIOR LIGHTING

Incandescent
.
Fluorescent.
Compact
fluorescent.
Metal halide.

INCANDESCENT
Incandescent bulbs require
no external regulating
equipment, have a very low
manufacturing cost, and
work well on either
alternating current or direct
current.
They are also compatible
with control devices such as
dimmers, timers, and photo
sensors, and can be used
both indoors and outdoors.
As a result, the
incandescent lamp is widely

FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Energy efficient, so
far the best light for
interior lighting
Low production cost
(of tubes, not of the
ballasts)
Long life of tubes
Good selection of
desired color
temperature (cool
whites to warm
whites)
Diffused Light (good

COMPACT FLUORESCENT

CFLs are up to four times more efficient than

incandescent bulbs. You can replace a 100 watt
incandescent bulb with a 22 watt CFL for the same
amount of light as CFLs use 50 - 80% less energy than
incandescent lights.

While initially they may cost more, CFLs are less

expensive in the long run as they last much longer than
incandescent bulbs. And since CFLs use 1/3 the electricity
and last up to 10 times as long as incandescent bulbs,
they are much less expensive to operate. You will see a
noticeable change in your electricity bills once you
change over to CFLs.

You can do your part in reducing carbon emissions by changing over to CFLs. Just
one bulb can reduce a half-ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the
bulb.

CFLs are highly versatile and can be used in any setting that you would normally
use incandescent bulbs. They come in enough shapes and sizes that you can use
them for recessed fixtures, table lamps, track lighting, or ceiling lighting. 3-way

METAL HALIDE

Long Life Metal halide lamps have an average life of 15,00020,000+ hours, more than ten times that of incandescent.

Better Light Quality he output of metal halide lamps is closer to

natural sunlight than most other light sources. People prefer white
light because of better visual acuity, even at lower light levels.

Designable Colour Metal halide lamps can be designed to produce

almost any colour temperature desired, from 2700K to 20,000K.
Specialty colours, including blue, green, aqua and pink, can also be
produced.

Excellent Colour Rendering Metal halide offers excellent colour

rendering, with a 65-90 CRI (colour rendering index).

Compact Size Metal halide generates high light levels from a

compact light source. This allows for smaller, more controllable
luminaires.

Versatility Metal halide lamps are relatively unaffected by ambient

LED

Energy efficient - LEDs are now capable of

outputting 135 lumens/watt

Long Lifetime - 50,000 hours or more if

properly engineered

Rugged - LEDs are also called Solid State

Lighting (SSL) as they are made of solid
material with no filament or tube or bulb to
break

No warm-up period - LEDs light instantly in

nanoseconds

Not affected by cold temperatures - LEDs like

low temperatures and will start up even in
sub zero weather

Directional - With LEDs you can direct the

light where you want it, thus no light is
wasted
