Lighting	Previous  Index  Next
	Pedestrian level light can be provided by poles shorter than street lights (10 to 15 feet; 3m to 4.6m) or by bollard lights. Lights should be directed downward to prevent night sky pollution and concentrate light where it’s needed. Pedestrian level lighting is most appropriate in areas where there is pedestrian activity in early morning, evening, and nighttime hours. Safe Provide a minimum of 1 footcandle of light from grade to 5 feet (1.5m) above the walking surface, between sunset and sunrise, at vehicular intersections, changes in grade, crosswalks, and other similar points of potential conflict. Comfortable Provide a minimum of 1 footcandle of light from grade to 5 feet (1.5m) above the walking surface, between sunset and sunrise, at vehicular intersections, changes in grade, crosswalks, and other similar points of potential conflict. Also provide points of illumination along the walkway so that users can move comfortably between light to light. Destination A destination facility generally has continuous lighting coverage of 1 footcandle and the lighting fixtures contribute to the thematic character.
