BS EN 13201-5:2015

Comprehensive Road Lighting Performance Standard

BS EN 13201-5:2015 is the definitive standard for road lighting performance, providing detailed technical specifications and guidance to ensure energy-efficient, safe, and compliant outdoor lighting systems. This standard is an essential resource for civil engineers, lighting designers, and local authorities responsible for public infrastructure projects.

Ensure Energy-Efficient Lighting Systems

At the core of BS EN 13201-5:2015 is a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. The standard outlines methods for:• Calculating the energy performance of road lighting installations• Assessing the energy efficiency of different lighting technologies and control systems• Minimizing energy consumption without compromising lighting quality or safetyBy following the guidance in this standard, you can design and implement road lighting systems that deliver significant energy savings and reduced carbon emissions, helping to meet sustainability targets and lower operational costs.

Enhance Road User Safety

Effective road lighting is crucial for the safety of all road users, from drivers and cyclists to pedestrians. BS EN 13201-5:2015 provides comprehensive technical specifications to ensure optimal lighting conditions, including:• Luminance and illuminance requirements for different road classes and traffic situations• Guidance on glare control and light distribution to improve visibility and reduce accidents• Methods for evaluating the visual performance of road lighting installationsAdhering to the standards set out in this document will help you create road lighting systems that enhance visibility, improve road user confidence, and ultimately save lives.

Ensure Compliance and Quality Assurance

Compliance with relevant standards is essential for any civil engineering project involving public infrastructure. BS EN 13201-5:2015 is the authoritative reference for road lighting performance, providing a robust framework for:• Specifying lighting requirements for new installations or upgrades• Evaluating the performance of existing road lighting systems• Ensuring quality assurance and compliance with legal and regulatory requirementsBy incorporating this standard into your project planning and implementation processes, you can demonstrate a commitment to quality, safety, and environmental responsibility, giving stakeholders and the public confidence in the final outcome.
