Definition:
Road lighting: These criteria cover the procurement of lighting equipment for:
– road lighting in new lighting installations;
– retrofitting of different luminaires to existing lighting installations;
– retrofitting of different light sources or controls to existing luminaires; or
– the simple replacement of light sources, lamps or luminaires on a like-for-like basis in existing lighting
In accordance with standard EN 13201-1, the term ‘road lighting’ refers to fixed lighting installations intended to provide good visibility to users of outdoor public traffic areas during the hours of darkness to support traffic safety, traffic flow and public security. It specifically excludes lighting installations for tunnels, toll stations, canals and locks, parking lots, commercial or industrial sites, sports installations, public parks, private roads, monuments and building facades.
These GPP criteria acknowledge that the luminance and illumination levels, respectively, stipulated that luminance and illumination levels in EN 13201-2 are very high and should be considered as absolute maximum levels (not to be exceeded) instead of being interpreted as minimum levels as it is currently the case.
Traffic signals: Red, yellow and green signal lights for road traffic with 200mm and 300mm roundels, in line with standard EN 12368, are included. Portable signal lights are specifically excluded.

Luminaire efficacy
Applicable when light sources or luminaires are to be replaced in an existing lighting installation and no redesign is carried out. These ambition levels should not be applied when light sources are also requested to be rated with CCT ≤2700K.) The lighting equipment to be installed shall have a luminaire efficacy higher than the relevant reference value stated below
|
||||||
| Verification: | The tenderer shall provide a standard photometric file that is compatible with common light planning software and that contains technical specifications on the light output and energy consumption of the luminaire, measured by using reliable, accurate, reproducible and stateof-the-art measurement methods. Methods shall respect relevant international standards, where available. | |||||
|
Minimum dimming performance
All light sources and luminaires shall be installed with fully functional dimming controls that are programmable to set at least one pre-set level of dimming down to at least 50 % of maximum light output at 23:00 CET. |
||||||
| Verification: |
The tenderer shall provide documentation from the manufacturer(s) of the light sources and luminaires that are proposed for use by the tenderer, showing that they are compatible with dimming controls. The documentation shall also state what dimming controls are incorporated, for example:
• pre-set dimming, or The documentation shall also clearly provide a power curve of light output versus power consumption, state the maximum dimming possible and provide instructions about how to programme and re- programme the controls. Given programme shall also grant access to remote third parties to view the setting programme. |
|||||
|
Power factor
The power factor for the luminaire to be installed shall be ≥0.90. |
||||||
| Verification: | The tenderer shall provide a declaration of compliance with the criterion for the lighting equipment they intend to supply, supported by a declaration from the manufacturer and results from tests carried out in accordance with IEC 61000-3-2. | |||||

|
Enhanced luminaire efficacy
A score of up to X points shall be awarded to tenderers that are able to provide light sources or luminaires which exceed the minimum luminous efficacy defined in TS1(Luminaire efficacy). |

| 2.2 | Technical Specification (to be included in the terms of reference / technical specifications) | ||||
|
Ratio of Upward Light Output (RULO) and obtrusive light
(Applicable to all contracts where new luminaires are purchased, even on existing fixtures.) All luminaire models purchased shall be rated with a 0.0 % RULO. If it is necessary to use a boom angle, either to optimise the pole distribution or due to site constraints in pole positioning, the 0.0 % RULO shall be maintained even when the luminaire is tilted at the required angle. |
|||||
| Verification: |
The tenderer shall provide the photometric file(s). This shall include the photometric intensity table from which the RULO is calculated according to EN 13032-1, EN 13032-2, EN 13032-4, Annex D of IEC 62722-1 or other relevant international standards. In cases where luminaires are not installed horizontally, the photometric file shall demonstrate that either: - tilting the data by the same tilt angle to be used with the luminaire still results in a 0.0 % RULO, or - additional shielding has been fitted to the luminaire and the shielded luminaire found to show a 0.0 % RULO when tilted at the design installation angle. |
||||
|
Ecological light pollution and star visibility
The G-index value is directly related to blue light content, and so should be specified when light pollution effects on wildlife or on star visibility are a concern). In parks, gardens and areas considered by the procurer to be ecologically sensitive, the G-index shall be ≥1.5(A G-index of ≥1.5 would generally (but not always) equate to a CCT of ≤3000K). A dimming programme (as per the procurer’s specifications defined in Minimum dimming performance TS 1.2) shall be implemented for parks and gardens that are open during night-time hours. A switch-off programme shall apply to any relevant closing hours for parks and gardens. A dimming and/or switch-off programme shall be implemented for any other ecologically sensitive areas. |
|||||
| Verification: | The tenderer shall provide measurements of the G-index. | r>||||
