Talking about Light

Key figures:
• Lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI derived unit of luminous flux, a measure of the
total quantity of visible light emitted by a source = Complete light (not what you
see)
• Lux =This is what you see (lumen per square meter)
• CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature): Colour temperature of the light on an ideal
black-body radiator
 Talking about (street)-light
Measurement of Lumen:
Goniophotometer

 Talking about Street-Light
Key figures:
• DIN 13201-1: Lighting Situations (German Standard; no international Standard) depending:
• Speed of user (km/h)
• Type of Main-user (Car, Pedestrian,.. and “side-user”)
→ Lighting Classes and Quality criteria for Lighting classes

• DIN 13201-2/4:
• Lighting Class (main):
S1-S6: Sideways, Small Roads, Residential Areas → Shems, Noor
ME1-ME5: Roads, Main Roads → Shems (Q4), Taqa
CE : Critical Main Road Situations (Crossings etc.)
• Quality Criteria
