The photo on the left shows a path with high colour rendering lamps withgood glare control while the installation on the right uses poor colourrendering lamps with louvers to provide some glare control. Note that you cansee the person at the end <strong>of</strong> the path on the left. The left installation alsouses less than half the energy <strong>of</strong> the installation on the right.My experience is that irrespective <strong>of</strong> the compliance with the Standard a parkwill not be successful unless the lighting has good colour rendering, warmappearance and minimal glare. If not, people may still walk though the parkbut they will not use the park.EXISTING LIGHTINGThe park currently has several lighting systems.Posttop FittingsThe central circle in the park and the main use pseudo historic lanterns.These were made by Edwards Lighting Engineers, a foundary in Ballart andwould probably date from the 1970s. The fittings have obscure glass and lowcolour rendering, high pressure sodium lamps. The fittings are glaring andinefficient because the majority <strong>of</strong> the light goes into the sky. These fittingswould not meet the upward light limitations <strong>of</strong> AS/NZS1158.Lighting, Art + ScienceNote the glare and the poor visibility surrounding the path.These fittings do not have EnergyAustralia numbers and therefore areprobably privately owned by the council.This path appeared to be the principal route through the path at night, linkingthe houses on the eastern side <strong>of</strong> the park with the bus stop.<strong>Enmore</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Lighting Review.
