Street and park lighting

Lighting green areas that will emphasize the aesthetic values of the place and at the same time ensure a high level of safety after dark is a huge challenge. Especially in the context of the problem of light pollution, which has a negative impact on the natural environment and human comfort.

How to illuminate a park, square or garden to create a harmonious, friendly space?

Light smog

Outdoor lighting is often criticized by ecologists and astronomy enthusiasts - according to data from the "Dark Sky" organization, as many as 95% of parks and squares in Poland are improperly lit. Elegant but ineffective lamps, e.g. sodium or mercury lamps, and modern luminaires in the form of balls placed on high masts, scatter light in all directions, reaching, among others, windows of nearby buildings or habitats of wild animals. Research clearly shows that a strong light flux disrupts the natural circadian rhythm of both people, birds, small rodents and reptiles.

Aware of the problem, manufacturers focus on innovation and develop lamps that ensure optimal lighting of green infrastructure, without causing light pollution. Well-thought-out luminaire designs eliminate the possibility of light "escaping" to too high heights and widths, thanks to which the stream reaches only selected places, ensuring safe movement.

Special design

Using special diaphragms, it is possible to direct the light flux and limit unnecessary light scattering. A perfect example of modern lighting solutions with diaphragms are models from the Lena Lighting portfolio. Thanks to their design, highly energy-saving Skver LED park lamps, allow you to manage the light flux in any space. These luminaires not only generate significant electricity (and therefore also financial) savings, but also provide excellent illumination of selected terrain elements, without causing light smog. All Lena Lighting outdoor lamps have parameters that meet strict quality and safety standards. They can be successfully used in park spaces, small architecture and open green areas. Compatible with the Clue lighting control system, they allow you to adjust the light intensity to the prevailing conditions and the needs of the moment. Thanks to this, they fit into the sustainable development trend.

Refined details

What else is worth paying attention to at the stage of planning outdoor lighting? The height of the luminaire suspension is extremely important. It turns out that the most optimal is 3-4 m. You should also remember that it should be placed as close to the sidewalk as possible.

In terms of color temperature, parks and squares should be illuminated with lamps emitting light with a color ranging from 3600-3700 K. Blue light, which has stimulating properties, should be avoided after dark.

FAQ:

What are the main challenges related to lighting parks and green areas?

The main challenges are to ensure aesthetic appearance and safety after dark, while minimizing light pollution, which negatively affects the natural environment and human comfort.

What is light smog?

Light smog is excessive scattering of artificial light, which disrupts the natural circadian rhythm of people and animals and makes it difficult to observe the night sky.

What solutions does Lena Lighting offer in the field of park lighting?

Lena Lighting offers energy-saving Skver LED park lamps that manage light flux, limiting light scatter and minimizing light pollution. These lamps are compatible with the Clue lighting control system, which allows you to adjust the light intensity to the prevailing conditions.

What should you pay attention to when planning outdoor lighting?

It is worth paying attention to the suspension height of the luminaire (optimally 3-4 m) and its location close to the sidewalk. The color temperature of the light is also important - preferably 3600-3700 K to avoid stimulating blue light after dark.

What are the benefits of using modern lighting fixtures?

Modern lighting fixtures, such as Skver LED, ensure energy and financial savings, excellent illumination of selected terrain elements and elimination of light smog. They are also compliant with the principles of sustainable development.
