Light Vision rural areas of
West-Flanders
![Page 13: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The reason
• The rural landscape is here still relative dark is under pressure by several projects (village beautification, new bicycle paths, …)
• Increasing concern about energy consumption and light pollution.
• Quick evolution of regulations and techniques
![Page 14: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Study
• Province government and 3 partners (WVI, Intercommunale Leiedal en VLM)
• Study done by Omgeving and Atelier Roland Jéol
• Large steering committee (AWV, net managers, LNE, POM, vzw Preventie Lichthinder,…)
![Page 15: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Purpose
• Projects and realizations of Public lighting with more quality.
• Active applicable policy document– Guide for executing real projects.– Setting up and supporting pilot
projects.

Content of Light Vision document
• Informatively part
• Vision on public lighting in the rural landscape
• Lighting solution per type of area
![Page 17: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Vision on lighting rural landscape
• 4 quality requirements– Functionality– Experience value– Energy consumption– Light pollution
• Code good practices – 14 basis principles
![Page 18: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lighting per area category (1)• 9 types of areas
– Passage and rural core on a road with a lot of traffic– Passage and rural core on a local road– Road between two villages– Residential area– Bicycle path– Churches, identity defining buildings and patrimony– Parking places– Sport fields– Company areas– Public green areas
![Page 19: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lighting per area category(2)
• Policy and management context – theory part
• Purposes and principles – Code of good practices
• Practical examples – guiding aspects with technical fiche
![Page 20: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Basis principles(related to light
pollution)Passages of villages
• In case of white light, only warm white light (<3000 K)
• Support visibility of pedestrians (max. 7m)
• Create port effect at entrances of the villages by lighting statue or valuable patrimony. Concept with less light pollution need to take.
![Page 21: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Basis principlesResidental areas
• Use of dimming.
![Page 22: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Basis principlesRoads between villages
• No lighting!• Some exceptions of dangerous
obstacles• Or guide lighting for cyclists
![Page 23: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Basis principlesBicycling roads in open
space• No lighting for recreation use!• Functional paths mostly not
lighted– Places with a lot of traffic in part of
the dark hours– Dynamic lighting– Limited in time.
![Page 24: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Basis principles Churches, identity
defining buildings and patrimony
• Light only a limited selection based on value.
• Not light whole building, only creating accents off valuable elements.
• Switch off during night.
![Page 25: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Basis principlesParking places
• No lighting when no social control• Only lighting at places and
locations that they are really used during the night
• Dimming and switching off depending of the use.
![Page 26: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Basis principlesSport fields
• No lighting when no activity• No upward lighting• Lighting levels not higher then
need for competition level• Regularly control on installation
![Page 27: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Basis principlesCompany areas
• Depends from the activities of the companies.– In case of no night activity, switching
off public lighting– Locate companies with nigh activity
together at the entrance of the area.

Knowledge center
• AWV, net managers, LNE, POM, vzw Preventie Lichthinder,…
• Following up technical evolutions, investigate techniques and advices projects
• Info-moments to municipalities• Education on Public Lighting
![Page 29: Light Vision Province West-Flanders](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816479550346895dd65d48/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
