Road Lighting Design Tutorials

Have you ever wonder how the road lighting design calculation is being done? Check these video tutorials to find out how.

Videos are available for those who are lazy to read.

Lighting design tutorial, the real how-to is very rare in the Youtube world, that's why I created these videos to help myself and other lighting designers to ease their pain in finding the right information.

Road lighting design is not just about laying posts along the road and mount the luminaires. You need to consider a lot of things and you need to achieve the requirements from the road lighting design standards. You may think just lit the road and that's it. But, no. Road lighting must convey safety and security for drivers and pedestrians. There is also the need to consider, like the back lighting and spill lights, or if the area is aiming for LEED certification, then the BUG rating must put into the must-to-think lists.

You also must select the right optic, right wattage, right height of poles and right controls if necessary.

These videos are based on the queries of my Youtube subscribers.  I will create a separate videos about the basics on how to do the road lighting design calculations.

This first video is about the problem of our friend on how to achieve the required lux level and uniformity for road lighting using 10 meter pole spacing.

This next video is all about maximizing the potential of road lighting design to lessen the initial and long term investment of the client.

And, this third video is all about manipulating the pole parameters to achieve the standard requirements.  Basically, these are all about the pole.

In conclusion, road lighting is not easy. Lighting designer must learn it efficiently.

Retail Lighting Design Tutorials

So much for technical lighting design so I decided to do something familiar to my turf in architecture. The retail lighting design.  I have created the first video tutorial, actually two videos already.  One is the introduction and the other one is the beginning guide based on SLL Lighting Design Handbook.  I do this just to review myself and to share it with others.

In my opinion, lighting design in retail application is very important to consider.  Lighting in shops or boutiques or groceries made people buy more.

Retail Lighting Design Introduction

This first video will tell viewers who I am, how long I work as a lighting designer and what they will expect in the series of video tutorials.

Retail Lighting Design Tutorial Part 1

This next video is the basic information about lighting design.  The tutorial is based on the SLL Lighting Design Handbook.  I just copied all the information, add some photos, say it in words, create the video and that's it.  I did not add any information from my side.  I didn't even say any comment or opinion about retail lighting.  I just read it. This is to inform the viewers or the students about what is inside this handbook.

In my next video, I will discuss how to do it.  This is now the "How-to" part of the tutorial where the viewers or the students will learn how to do the lighting design for retail lighting using Dialux evo software.  In my opinion, this how-to is the most important part of learning.  We have so much information and this time we need to do something about it.

Good-luck to me and I hope my viewers will love it.  Lets start spreading the free education.

In conclusion, retail lighting is somewhat exciting to me now.  I hope my followers will learn a lot about retail lighting from me.
