Urban infrastructure lighting requirements

In many large cities, outdoor lighting, in addition to its nominal functions, is often designed to perform a number of tasks related to the advertising of certain commercial establishments. The most significant effect can be achieved through lighting systems that meet certain aesthetic criteria and that are not unnecessarily intrusive for citizens. Such restrictions require the greatest attention in those urban areas that are built primarily with historic structures.

During the day, all kinds of banks, entertainment complexes and business centers attract attention primarily with their professionally executed exterior design. However, with the onset of darkness, such an advantage over other structures is completely leveled. To solve this problem, a wide variety of lighting systems are used, highlighting all the important details of the building's decor. Lighting poles for this type of task are usually chosen in accordance with the overall lighting and color concept.However, different building elements can be decorated in different styles. For example, the facade of a building can be lit with one color, while the main entrance is lit with another, resulting in highlighting a certain area that attracts the attention of potential customers.
It is quite obvious that the classic white light today is no longer able to emphasize the style and individuality of the building. Modern trends dictate the need to use bright colors together with the use of all kinds of rays, projections of certain images, moving light objects and other appropriate technological solutions.

When organizing a lighting system, a rather large role is played by the choice of lamps suitable for fulfilling a certain purpose. In this area, as in most others, it also has its own little tricks that allow you to achieve the best result while saving available resources and funds. For example, structures for the construction of which any light stone was used are often illuminated with yellow sodium lamps, due to the fact that their light acquires an attractive golden hue lying on the surface of such a stone. It is also possible to use these lamps in combination with different red finishing materials.
It is not at all difficult to draw the attention of passers-by to this or that structure. It is enough only to organize a high-quality and modern lighting system, as well as to provide residents and guests of the city with the opportunity to see the desired object from afar. To do this, you need to create a remarkable landmark that will attract everyone's attention.For example, a beam of light emitted by a powerful searchlight can serve as such a starting point. It is only important not to overdo it, since urban lighting is a rather delicate topic, especially if the building is located in one of the sleeping areas.
