Technical Memorandum: Luminaire Classification System for Outdoor Luminaires
This Technical Memorandum defines a classification system for outdoor luminaires that provides information to lighting professionals regarding the lumen distribution within solid angles of specific interest. The lumens within these solid angles are intended to be one of the metrics used to evaluate luminaire optical distribution, including the potential for light pollution and obtrusive light, but not as the only metric that should be evaluated. Light pollution and obtrusive light result not only from the optical characteristics of the luminaires, but also from the application of those luminaires within an outdoor site or roadway.
