Design Vehicle Speed for Road 50 Km/Hr Km/Hr
Width of the road (W): # 7 Meter
Type of Pole Arrangement (F): # Single side 1
Height of the pole (H): 6 Meter

Luminaire Detail:
Type of fixture: Full Cutoff
Type of Lamp: LED
Rated Fixture Power: 92 Watt
Lamp Lumen Output (LL): # 9200 Lumens
Lux Required on Road: (Eh) # 10 Lux
Mounting Height of Fixture (H): # 6 Meter
Pole distance from Road (SetBack) (C): 0.5 Meter
Light OverHang (B): 0.5 Meter
Boom Length (L): 1 Meter
Boom Angle (Tilt Angle) (¢): 10 °
Beam Angle of Fixtures: # 120 °
Coefficient of utilization (CU) 0.2
