No criteria and standards were taken in to consideration when providing street
lights
The placing of streetlights is very near and this results in more spending on
infrastructure and more electricity bills.
Operator switching streetlights require 1 to 1.5 hrs to operate all the switches in
an area, resulting in some places lights are switched on/off almost 1 to 1.5 hrs
prior and after the required time;
Lighting levels are higher than required standards
During off peak hours (after 11 pm in night) lighting levels increase further due to
increase in voltage
Lighting devises are not mounted properly, thus unnecessarily distributing light to
surrounding areas and providing less light on roads and pathways; and

repairs arise in streetlights. For horizon year, the needs of Streetlight proposals are
discuss in the Chapter 10.
