Roads & streets
Connect roads, junctions and pedestrian routes. Luminaire placement and light distribution are defined by the layout and use of each site.

Lighting for roads and residential areas
Public lighting solutions for road and residential development projects led by local authorities, lighting consultants and developers.
Illustrative visualisation
Every road has its own brief.
From the road to the edge of a home, consider light in relation to the place and the people using it.
Residential developments
Make lighting part of the living environment. Access roads, pavements and the areas around homes are considered together, with attention to neighbouring spaces.

Approach
Light the route. Respect its surroundings.
A public-lighting project starts with the site, its uses and its constraints. The diagram below is a discussion aid, not a study or a scale layout.

- Site geometry
- Read the widths, alignments, junctions, routes and obstacles that shape movement through the site.
- Optics and distribution
- Compare possible distributions and their orientation with the geometry to be lit, without committing to a solution before validation.
- User and neighbour comfort
- Consider how the site is used and how homes are positioned, to frame the areas to light and the effects to avoid.
- Hours and maintenance
- Define operating periods, future access and maintenance conditions as criteria to clarify with the project team.
Lighting the road with solar
A rural road or isolated access route needs to be read through its geometry, surroundings and operating hours. Combining panel and luminaire on one column is an option to study for the site and its operation.
Solar · road lighting
A solar set combines the panel and luminaire on one column to accompany a road.

Lighting designed for every pathway
Village square, park or path: lighting should provide orientation without erasing the atmosphere of the place. Height, spacing and aiming are defined alongside the routes and activities to support.
Villa · village square
Soft light supports the uses of a small square and its walking routes.
F5800 Semiglobo · public park
Park paths remain legible while retaining a calm atmosphere.

Revealing facades
A civic or residential facade needs light that responds to its textures, volumes and surroundings. Recessed or discreet solutions can be studied to reveal the architecture without adding unnecessary visual presence.

Frequently asked questions
What information should we gather to start?
A site plan or sketch, the project context, expected uses, pedestrian routes and known constraints make a useful starting point for discussion.
Can you work on a refurbishment?
A refurbishment can be considered from the existing layout, its uses and access or maintenance constraints. Feasibility and solutions still need to be defined for each site.
What photometric information should we request?
Ask for the calculation assumptions, geometry and requested levels or criteria, together with the limits of the area studied. This helps distinguish a study from an illustrative visualisation.
Are the renders completed projects?
No. The renders in this demonstration are illustrative and do not represent a completed project or a photometric study.
