Final Report Lot 9: Public street lighting - Amper

• Tunnel lighting (fig. 5) can be considered a very specific type of street lighting with
various different and complementing performance requirements, measuring methods
etcetera. For this reason, separate standards on tunnel lighting exist (e.g. BS
5489-2, ..standards per EU country), apart from those on outdoor street lighting. Also,
annual sales of tunnel lighting is marginal compared to outdoor street lighting and is
expected to be lower than the criterion of 200.000 units annual sales given in the EuP
Directive, article 15.

• Lighting installations for ‘city beautification’ for which the function is:
o to light monuments, building facades, trees, hills, other objects or subjects, (fig.
6)
o to light the surrounding space of the public areas in order to create a good
appearance of the context,
o to be itself as a subject to look for.
Their function is completely different from the functions given in the definition of the
standard and by consequence these products can have different characteristics.
