INSTALLATION OF THE LIGHTING DESIGN
29. -It is important to realise that the overall performance of any lighting installation depends on both the equipment used and on its correct setting up. Any changes, substitutions or errors can have a profoundly negative impact on the resulting lighting installation performance. The designer will produce a scheme using specified luminaires with a unique distribution, optical settings, lamps, mounting heights and aiming angles and it is therefore essential that the luminaire used in the installation complies precisely with the light output characteristics of the luminaire specified in the original design for the final results to be acceptable. Even superficially similar luminaires can have markedly different optical performances and in all situations the luminaire selected by the designer and approved by the local authority shall be used. Other parameters of the design such as the mounting height of the luminaire, the spacing between columns and any luminaire tilt or any luminaire lamp position are equally critical in obtaining the design performance envisaged and if not complied with by the installer they also may have a detrimental impact on the overall lighting performance.
30. -To enable the developer to self certify that the lighting installation complies with the lighting design the developer shall require the installer to complete a Lighting Installation Check List as included within Annex C.
