Abstract:

Participants in the domestic lighting industryare actively discussing the feasibility of introducing state requirements for including protective glass in road lighting fixtures. Often, specialists only consider the initial technical specifications and do not consider the operability of luminaires over long periods. However, the performance parameters of luminaires are crucial when selecting a specific design for road lighting installation in order to ensure efficient and reliable operation.
