Street & Urban Lighting Guide
Comprehensive guide for professional lighting design of roads, streets and public urban spaces — fully compliant with EN 13201 and modern LED technologies
Purpose of this guide: To provide comprehensive information for the design and implementation of street and urban lighting systems according to the European standard EN 13201. This guide is intended for lighting designers, electrical engineers, urban planners, municipal authorities, and contractors involved in the specification and installation of outdoor public lighting.
1. EN 13201 Regulatory Framework
EN 13201 is the principal European standard for road lighting. It establishes the complete framework from road classification to energy performance assessment. Understanding this standard is essential for any professional involved in street lighting design.1.1 Structure of EN 13201
| Part | Scope |
|---|---|
| EN 13201-1 | Road classification and selection of lighting classes based on traffic parameters |
| EN 13201-2 | Performance requirements: minimum maintained values for luminance, illuminance, uniformity, glare, and surround ratio |
| EN 13201-3 | Calculation methods for photometric performance of road lighting installations |
| EN 13201-4 | Methods of measuring lighting performance in the field (verification) |
| EN 13201-5 | Energy performance indicators (PDI, AECI) for assessing installation efficiency |

2. Lighting Classes: M, C, P
EN 13201 defines three families of lighting classes, each tailored to specific road user types and traffic conditions. Selecting the correct lighting class is the foundation of every compliant design.Lighting Class Families & Their Applications
M-Classes (M1–M6)
Motorised Traffic
▸ Highways, arterials, collectors
▸ Primary criterion: Luminance
▸ Unit: cd/m²
▸ Parameters: Lav, Uo, Ul, TI, SR
Observer at 1.5m height, 60–160m ahead
C-Classes (C0–C5)
Conflict Zones
▸ Roundabouts, intersections
▸ Primary criterion: Illuminance
▸ Unit: lux (horizontal)
▸ Parameters: Eav, Uo
Multi-direction approach by drivers
P-Classes (P1–P7)
Pedestrian & Slow Traffic
▸ Sidewalks, cycle paths, parks
▸ Primary criterion: Illuminance
▸ Unit: lux (horiz. + vertical)
▸ Parameters: Eav, Emin, Ev
Facial recognition at ≥4m distance
The three lighting class families defined by EN 13201, each with distinct photometric criteria.
💡 Design Tip: Always begin a street lighting project by classifying the road according to EN 13201-1. The lighting class determines all subsequent photometric requirements. A common error is to skip this step and simply match existing luminaire wattages.
3. Key Photometric Parameters
Understanding the photometric parameters defined in EN 13201-2 is essential for evaluating and comparing lighting designs. Each parameter serves a specific purpose in ensuring visual comfort and safety.3.1 M-Class Parameters (Motorised Traffic)
| Symbol | Parameter | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lav | Average luminance | Mean maintained luminance on the road surface, measured in the direction of travel | 0.30–2.00 cd/m² |
| Uo | Overall uniformity | Ratio of minimum to average luminance (Lmin/Lav). Prevents dark patches. | ≥ 0.35–0.40 |
| Ul | Longitudinal uniformity | Ratio of min to max luminance along the centre line. Controls the "zebra effect". | ≥ 0.50–0.70 |
| TI | Threshold increment | Measure of disability glare. Lower values = less glare. | ≤ 10–15% |
| SR | Surround ratio | Illuminance ratio on adjacent areas vs. road surface. | ≥ 0.50 |

4. Design Geometry & Layout
The photometric performance of a street lighting installation is determined not only by the luminaire but also by the geometric layout: pole height, spacing, overhang, tilt angle, and arrangement pattern.4.1 Pole Height by Road Type
| Road Type | Typical Height | Spacing / Height | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorway / Highway | 12–15 m | 3.0–3.5 | High-mast also used |
| Arterial road | 10–12 m | 3.0–3.5 | Single or staggered |
| Collector road | 8–10 m | 3.0–4.0 | Opposite or staggered |
| Residential street | 5–8 m | 3.5–4.5 | Single side typical |
| Pedestrian path | 3.5–5 m | 4.0–5.0 | Bollard or post-top |
4.2 Arrangement Patterns
Luminaire Arrangement Patterns
Single-Sided
W ≤ H (road width ≤ mounting height)
Most common for narrow roads
Staggered (Zigzag)
1.0× H < W ≤ 1.5× H
Alternating sides, medium roads
Opposite (Bilateral)
W > 1.5× H
Directly opposite, wide roads

Key Dimensions:
H = Mounting height (m)
OH = Overhang from road edge (m)
W = Road width (m)
α = Tilt angle (0°–15°)
Modern LED: 0°–5° tilt recommended
Larger tilts increase glare & ULOR
Cross-section showing the critical geometric parameters for street lighting design. H, W, OH, and tilt angle must all be modelled in photometric software.
⚠️ Important: In DIALux EVO and RELUX, always model the actual tilt angle and overhang. Even 5° of tilt can shift the peak illuminance by several metres along the road axis, potentially causing the design to fail compliance.

5.1 CCT Selection Guide
LED street luminaires are available in a range of correlated colour temperatures (CCT). In recent years, European and Greek practice has converged on 3000K as the standard for urban street lighting, driven by environmental regulations, dark-sky initiatives, and documented health benefits of reduced blue light emission. Higher CCTs (4000K+) are now reserved for motorways and specific high-speed applications.Colour Temperature (CCT) Spectrum for Street Lighting

Urban Streets / Standard (EU)
Motorways only (with caution)
TECHLUMEN recommends 3000K as the default CCT for urban street lighting — aligned with current European and Greek practice. Use 4000K only for motorways or special applications where explicitly required.
| CCT | Advantages | Disadvantages | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2700–3000K | Low blue content, warm appearance, dark-sky compliant, reduced ecological impact, preferred by European municipalities | Slightly lower lm/W than neutral white | Urban streets, residential areas, historic centres, ecological corridors — current EU standard |
| 4000K | Higher mesopic efficiency, good visual acuity at speed | Higher blue content, increasingly restricted by regulation | Motorways, high-speed arterials, industrial zones |
| 5000–5700K | Highest scotopic/mesopic efficiency, maximum visual acuity | High blue emission, ecological & health concerns | Motorways, industrial zones (with caution) |
6. Energy Performance Indicators (EN 13201-5)
EN 13201-5 introduced two key energy performance indicators that allow objective comparison between different lighting designs. These metrics are increasingly required in public procurement specifications.6.1 Power Density Indicator (PDI / Dp)
Dp = P / (Lav × S × W) [W / (cd/m² × m²)]
6.2 Annual Energy Consumption Indicator (AECI / De)
De = Σ(Pi × ti) / (S × W) [Wh/m² per year]
✅ Procurement Insight: When evaluating tenders, always compare PDI and AECI values. A luminaire with a higher purchase price but significantly lower AECI will almost always be more cost-effective over the 20-year lifecycle of the installation.
7. Smart Controls & Adaptive Lighting
Modern street lighting is increasingly integrated into smart city ecosystems. The combination of LED technology and digital controls enables substantial operational savings.7.1 Control Protocols
| Protocol | Description | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| DALI-2 / D4i | Digital addressable lighting interface. D4i extends with standardized power/data for sensors. | Individual luminaire control, bi-directional |
| 0–10V / 1–10V | Simple analogue dimming signal | Low cost, basic scheduled dimming |
| Zhaga Book 18 | Standardized socket for plug-and-play sensor/communication modules | Future-proof, vendor-independent |
| LoRaWAN / NB-IoT | Low-power wide-area wireless for Central Management Systems | Remote monitoring, fault detection, OTA updates |

| Strategy | Description | Typical Savings |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed schedule | Pre-programmed dimming levels based on time of night | 20–30% |
| Presence detection | Sensors detect traffic/pedestrians, raise light from reduced baseline | 30–50% on low-traffic roads |
| Adaptive (data-driven) | Real-time adjustment based on traffic density, weather, ambient light | 35–55% with dynamic response |
8. Light Pollution & Environmental Considerations
Responsible outdoor lighting design must address the environmental impact of artificial light at night (ALAN). Light pollution affects astronomical observation, disrupts ecosystems (particularly migratory birds, bats, and insects), and impacts human circadian rhythms.8.1 ULOR & Environmental Zones
| Zone | Description | ULOR Limit | Ev at Window (lux) |
|---|---|---|---|
| E0 | UNESCO Starlight Reserves, astronomical sites | 0% | 0 |
| E1 | Dark landscapes (national parks, rural areas) | 0% | 2 |
| E2 | Low-brightness areas (rural residential) | 2.5% | 5 |
| E3 | Medium-brightness areas (suburban) | 5% | 10 |
| E4 | High-brightness areas (urban centres) | 15% | 25 |
✅ TECHLUMEN Standard: All TECHLUMEN street luminaires feature full cut-off optics with ULOR = 0% at designed tilt angle. Our standard CCT for urban applications is 3000K, in line with current European practice. For environmentally sensitive areas, 2700K is available on request.
9. Road Surface Properties & R-Tables
For M-class (luminance-based) calculations, the reflective properties of the road surface are critical. EN 13201 uses standardized reduced luminance coefficient tables (r-tables) to model how different surfaces reflect light toward the observer.| R-Table | Surface Type | Reflectance | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 (C1) | Concrete, light asphalt | Highest | Predominantly diffuse |
| R2 (N1) | Standard asphalt with light aggregate | Medium-high | Default choice when surface data unavailable |
| R3 (N2) | Standard dark asphalt | Medium | More specular than R2 |
| R4 (N3–N4) | Smooth, wet, or very dark surfaces | Lowest | Highly specular — worst case |
⚠️ Critical: Using R2 when the actual road is dark asphalt (R3/R4) will result in calculated luminance values that cannot be achieved in practice. The difference can be 15–20%, potentially moving the design below the required class. Always confirm the surface type with the road authority.
10. Practical Design Workflow
A systematic design process ensures compliance, optimal performance, and cost efficiency.- Road Classification: Classify each road section per EN 13201-1 (traffic volume, speed, junction density, area type)
- Select Lighting Class: Determine appropriate M, C, or P class from the classification matrix
- Define Geometry: Establish pole height, spacing, arrangement, tilt, and overhang
- Select Luminaire & Optic: Choose luminaire with appropriate optical distribution, wattage, and CCT using IES/LDT files
- Photometric Calculation: Run the design in DIALux EVO or RELUX; verify all parameters meet the class
- Energy Assessment: Calculate PDI and AECI per EN 13201-5, including dimming profiles
- Obtrusive Light Check: Verify EN 12464-2 / CIE 150 compliance for the environmental zone
- Documentation: Prepare design report with calculation results, datasheets, and compliance summary
10.1 Maintenance Factor (MF)
MF = LLMF × LSF × LMF × RSMF
| Factor | Description | Typical LED Value |
|---|---|---|
| LLMF | Lamp Lumen Maintenance Factor (LED depreciation) | 0.90–0.95 (at L80B10) |
| LSF | Lamp Survival Factor (catastrophic failure) | 1.00 (LED) |
| LMF | Luminaire Maintenance Factor (dirt on optic) | 0.90–0.95 (IP66) |
| RSMF | Road Surface Maintenance Factor | 1.00 (typically) |
💡 Guideline: For LED street lighting, a composite MF of 0.80–0.85 is widely used for a 25-year design life with standard maintenance. Always document the MF assumption in your design report.
11. Common Design Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | Consequence | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ignoring the r-table | Calculated luminance not achievable in practice | Confirm actual road surface type; use R3 as conservative default |
| Over-specifying wattage | Waste energy, excessive glare, over-illumination | Design to the lighting class, not to the replaced lamp wattage |
| Neglecting uniformity | Dangerous "zebra effect", impaired driver perception | Check both Uo and Ul in calculation software |
| Ignoring conflict zones | Safety risk at intersections and crossings | Upgrade class by 1–2 steps at junctions and crossings |
| No dimming profile | 20–40% wasted energy savings potential | Implement at minimum a clock-based dimming schedule |
| Wrong CCT | Complaints and potential regulatory violations | Use 3000K for urban streets (EU standard); 4000K only for motorways/industrial |
12. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The true cost of a street lighting installation extends far beyond the initial purchase price. A proper TCO analysis considers the full 20–25 year lifecycle.| Cost Component | HPS Installation | LED Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Luminaire purchase | Lower initial cost | 20–40% higher initial |
| Energy (20 years) | Baseline (100%) | 50–70% savings |
| Lamp replacements | 5–7 over lifecycle | Zero (LED integral) |
| Maintenance visits | Every 3–4 years | Minimal (IP66, sealed optic) |
| Dimming savings | Limited (HPS dims poorly) | Additional 20–40% |
| CO₂ emissions | Baseline | 60–80% reduction |
| 20-year TCO | Baseline (100%) | Typically 40–60% of HPS |
✅ ROI: For municipalities considering LED retrofits, the payback period is typically 3–5 years. With EU Green Deal funding and national subsidy programs, effective payback can be even shorter.

14. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between luminance and illuminance?
Illuminance (lux) measures the amount of light falling on a surface — it is a property of the surface being lit. Luminance (cd/m²) measures the brightness of the surface as seen by an observer — it depends on both the illuminance and the reflective properties of the road surface. M-class roads use luminance because drivers view the road at a low angle; C-class and P-class areas use illuminance.
Can I replace a 250W HPS lamp with a 250W LED?
No — this is a very common mistake. A 250W LED produces approximately 3× more useful light than a 250W HPS due to higher efficacy and directional optics. A typical replacement is 60–100W LED for a 250W HPS, depending on the road class requirements. Always design to the EN 13201 class, not to the old lamp wattage.
Is 5000K or higher CCT acceptable for street lighting?
While some early LED street lighting used 5000–6000K, the trend across Europe — and particularly in Greece — has firmly settled on 3000K as the standard for urban street lighting. Higher CCT luminaires emit more blue light, which has documented negative effects on ecosystems and human health. Most European municipalities now specify ≤3000K for urban roads, with 4000K reserved only for motorways and high-speed roads where mesopic visibility is prioritised. TECHLUMEN recommends 3000K as the default for all urban applications.
What software should I use for street lighting calculations?
The two most widely used professional tools in Europe are DIALux EVO (free, by DIAL GmbH) and RELUX (free, by Relux Informatik AG). Both support EN 13201 calculations with road surfaces, observer positions, and full M-class luminance analysis. TECHLUMEN provides LDT photometric files compatible with both platforms.
What is Zhaga D4i and why does it matter?
Zhaga D4i combines the Zhaga Book 18 mechanical interface (a standardized socket on the luminaire) with the DALI-2 D4i electrical interface. This creates a truly interoperable, future-proof smart lighting platform. You can add sensors, communication modules, or other smart devices from any D4i-compatible vendor — without rewiring or replacing the luminaire. It is the leading standard for smart-ready street lighting in Europe.
How long does LED street lighting actually last?
Quality LED street luminaires are rated at L80B10 at 100,000 hours, meaning after 100,000 operating hours, at least 90% of luminaires will still produce ≥80% of their initial light output. At typical street lighting operating hours (approximately 4,200 hours/year), this equates to roughly 24 years — essentially the full lifecycle of the installation before infrastructure replacement is needed.
