Appendix 3: Photos of pedestrian crossing floodlighting

High pressure sodium floodlight

Figure 1: High pressure sodium flood-light, 48-90 lux, in darkly lit street. Meets TR11 and NZS 6701.

High pressure sodium floodlight

Figure 2: High pressure sodium flood-light, 46-82 lux, in well lit street. Meets TR11 and NZS 6701.

Mercury vapour floodlight

Figure 3: Mercury vapour floodlight, 11-24 lux. Fails NZS 6701 - light output is too low.

Metal Halide floodlight

Figure 4: Metal Halide floodlight, 39-75 lux, excellent light distribution over the crossing and on the footpath at each end of the crossing. Meets NZS 6701.

Halogen Floodlight

Figure 6: Halogen Floodlight, 12-72 lux. The floodlight on the right is aimed too high to correctly illuminate the crossing and footpath on that side. Fails NZS 6701 because of floodlight misalignment.
