A lighting system provides the proper type of lighting for different lighting requirements and locations. A system is composed of six primary components – fixtures, light height, type of pole, light spacing, type of lamp, and level of intensity of lamp. The proper type of lighting for various locations is shown in the Lighting Design Matrix. All lighting should be located or designed to prevent undesirable spillover of light into other areas. Spotlights in particular should be aimed or screened to prevent glare that could blind motorists or pedestrians. Lighting should be designed to comply with Night Sky Initiatives and should not be aimed into sleeping areas. Daylight sensors, solar powered lights, and or timers should be incorporated where possible.
