Abstract:
The assessment of energy consumption in the field of road lighting is different from other lighting applications. In this paper, a newly developed parameter is introduced for the proper assessment of energy efficiency for lighting design of Indian road. The basis of the proposed normalized power density parameter and the effects of few governing factors on it have been also discussed in detail. Those factors are governing measured and calculated based on the road lighting in Indian scenario. A new classification for energy efficient road lighting in Indian road has been introduced. This new proposed classification will help to determine whether a road lighting system is energy efficient or not.
