What Goes into Successful High Mast Lighting Design?
A high mast lighting design or calculation considers many things. Two include the height of existing poles (if any), or if you want pole location recommendations.
- How many lights per pole?
- What type of lighting are you replacing?
- What are the expected light levels?
- Are there any requirements, specifications, or guidelines that need to be met?
Using a CAD drawing or a Google Maps screenshot, a high mast lighting design can incorporate all the considerations. It gives a visual report of the light levels within the area, and how balanced the light across the space will be.
What are the Recommended Light Levels when Designing a High Mast Lighting System?
High mast lighting is not looking to achieve exceptional bright light levels. The best approach when using LED High Mast Lighting is well-balanced lighting over a very broad area. It is not uncommon for light levels to be above 1 footcandle in a very large area.
How Do You Do LED High Mast Lighting Calculations?
We use a special lighting design software called AGI32. It allows us to model any outdoor lighting (or indoor lighting) space, add poles, and lights, and do foot candle or lux calculations.
How Do You Design High Mast Lighting Solution?
The best starting point is to create a lighting plan. We can model high mast lighting in a plan. Many of our customers ask us to model an area with many poles. Or to model 1 pole and show how far our light will cover. We can calculate that within the lighting plan.
I Want to Replace Metal Halide with LED High Mast Lighting System. What’s the Best Way to Make Sure I Will Have the Same Light Levels or More?
The best way to be assured is to request a free LED high mast lighting plan. A lighting plan will show you the amount of light (measured in foot candles or lux) across the area and an evenly distributed light pattern and create uniform illumination. The lighting needs to be bright and balanced. We have created lighting plans for
Why Use LED High Mast Lighting Instead of Traditional Lights for High Mast Systems?
LED Lights are known for being energy efficient and being able to replace traditional lighting systems like metal halide and high-pressure sodium. They can easily create the illumination standards or required footcandles or lux level you need. LED high mast lighting fixtures offer a long service life with minimal maintenance.
What is the Difference Between a Lighting Design Calculator and a Lighting Plan?
Use a calculator if:
- You are looking for a free, online tool to quickly calculate the number of fixtures you need
- You want quick, simple, and immediate results
- You are looking for a count of light fixtures needed based on a specific budget
- You need a rough estimate on quantity and layout/configuration does not matter
- There is no need to include specific light balance and shadows in your documentation
Use a lighting plan layout if:
- You would like a professional lighting plan engineer to review your requirements
- You need a calculated lighting plan that shows foot candle readings
- You need to see how balanced the light levels are, and you care about reducing shadows
- You want to show aiming angles, and light positions in scale within your indoor or outdoor area
- You need professional assurance that the lights you buy will be the right choice
