1 GENERALITIES
1.1 Scope
This technical specification describes the energy performance which must be met by a public
lighting installation. More specifically, it sets the foundation to assess the relevance and the energy
efficiency for the use of a public lighting installation along a road or in a given area.
This technical specification applies solely to illuminated areas characterized by a sole lighting class
M or C (according to the standard EN 13201). Illuminated areas characterized by multiple lighting
classes are dealt with on an informative level in Annex A.
This technical specification does not apply to public lighting installations based on:
• Ground recessed luminaires;
• Bollard lights or sets of pole/luminaire of a height lower than 3 m;
• Projectors
The method proposed in this document includes the possible use of dimming technology. The
method proposed in this document can on the one hand be used to compare the level of energy
performance of an installation to the reference values expected for an efficient system and on the
other hand to compare the efficiency of several proposed installations for the illumination of the
same area.
It assumes a photometric study in accordance to the requirements of the standard NBN L18-004
has been realized and on which the energy performance of the lighting installation is based.

2 Introduction
2.1 Luminaire(s) proposed for the installation of public lighting
The public lighting luminaire(s) making up the installation must preferably meet the electrical and
technical requirements set out in the following prescriptions of Synergrid:
C4/11-1 Technical specification 005 – public lighting equipment. Specifications relating to luminaires: requirements for construction and maintenance
C4/11-3 Specifications relating to luminaires equipped with LED technology
2.2 Requirements for a photometrical study
The photometric study of a public lighting installation must meet the following requirements:
• the required levels must be in accordance with the levels as described in the standards
NBN L18-004 and NBN EN 13201-21, including the adjoining areas. Furthermore, the average
continuous illuminance values and the average continuous luminance will not exceed the
prescribed values by more than 25%;
• The calculation methods meet the standard NBN EN 13201-3;
• The photometric matrices used are determined in conformity with the standards of the
EN 13032 series for the luminaires with gas-discharge lamps and with the standard
IEC DIS 025/E:2014 for LED luminaires. The photometric matrices will preferably be measured
by a ISO 17025 accredited laboratory;
• In case of public lighting luminaires equipped with gas-discharge lamps, the maintenance factor
to be used is described in the standard NBN L18-004;
• In the absence of standard documentation, the maintenance factor of the LED luminaires must
be established by taking into account:
o the lifetime of the LED luminaire
o the maintenance modalities (cleaning frequency, …)
1 For some areas, the level required is determined in the standard NBN EN 12464-2 – lighting requirements for outdoor workplaces.

6/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
o the depreciation of the light output of the LED during its expected lifetime
o the depreciation of the optical performance of the LED luminaire (soiling, ageing of the
lenses, bowls …) in the course of its expected lifetime, taking into account the
maintenance modalities
• the coating taken into consideration is the one recommended in the standard NBN L18-004, i.e.
R3008;
• In case of gas-discharge lamps, the light output to be considered is the one determined in the
specification C4/9 – Prescriptions relating to lamps, if missing the light output provided by the
lamp manufacturer;
• The power taken into consideration for each luminaire is the following:
o for a luminaire equipped with a gas-discharge lamp: the flat rate power mentioned in
the document C4/9-A – Flat rate power consumption of lamps for public lighting
o for a LED luminaire: the flat rate power determined during the homologation conform
to the prescription C4/11-3. If the luminaire has not been homologated, the power to
be taken into consideration is the power measured in conformity with specification
C4/15 – Rules for electrical power uptake of LED-systems of public lighting connected
to the electrical distribution grid without metering.
3 Method of determination for parameters to be considered
The energy evaluation of a public lighting installation in a certain area must take into account the
Power density indicator (Dp) and the annual energy consumption indicator (DE)?
The power density indicator characterizes the performance of the equipment installed compared
to the area to be illuminated independent of all lighting management (in particular without
dimming, extinction …). The annual energy consumption integrates the lighting management over a
one year period.
3.1 Power Density Indicator (DP)
3.1.1 Calculation of the Power Density Indicator
The power density indicator of an area – eventually divided in sub-areas – will be calculated as
follows:
1
.P n
i i
i
PD
E A
Whereas:
• DP is the power density indicator expressed in Wlx-1m
-2
Free translation for reference purposes only
7/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
• P is the system power of the lighting installation used to illuminate the actual area,
expressed in W
• iE is the average horizontal maintained illumination of the sub-area « i », expressed in
lx
• Ai is the size of the illuminated sub-area « i », expressed in m²
• n is the number of the illuminated sub-areas
The Power density indicator is calculated for an installation operating at a nominal power without
taking into account a possible dimming.
3.1.2 Area A to consider
The area to take into account for the calculation of the power density indicator is the totality of the
useful area illuminated by the public lighting installation. The area is divided in sub-areas in case of
different classification (sidewalk vs driving lane vs bicycle path) or a non-contiguous area. The sub-
areas are limited to a representative length as defined hereunder.
The adjacent sub-areas to consider for the calculation of the EIR will not be taken into account.
The representative length to be taken into account is:
• In case only one lighting system is foreseen:
o For unilateral, axial and opposed bilateral installations: the distance between
consecutive luminaires;
o For bilateral staggered installations: the distance between two consecutive
luminaires (on the same side) divided by 2;
• When different lighting systems are combined to illuminate one area, the length to be
taken into account must be the same for all the sub-areas.
3.1.3 Average horizontal maintained illuminance
For each sub-area (including class M), the value to take into account is the average horizontal
maintained illuminance obtained in the photometric study (and not the value prescribed by the
standard NBN L18-004).
For the C- and P-class areas (for which the requirements are expressed in illuminance), the average
horizontal continuous lighting is calculated in conformity with the standard EN 13201-3.
For M-class areas (for which the requirements are expressed in luminance) the document
EN 13201-5 foresees that the average horizontal maintained illuminance is calculated by using the

8/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
luminance calculation table. However, the use of the illuminance calculation table as determined in
the standard EN 13201-3 is also authorized.
3.1.4 System power to consider
The system power for the relevant sub-area includes:
The power of the illuminating luminaire(s) as defined in §2.2;
The additional equivalent power per luminaire for eventual other electrical components
(sensor, control unit of the luminaire, central control unit …) used to control the lighting
installation. The latter must be multiplied by the number of luminaires taken into
consideration for lighting the relevant sub-area.
3.2 Annual Energy Consumption Indicator (DE)
3.2.1 Calculation of the annual Energy Consumption Indicator
The Annual Energy Consumption Indicator of an installation illuminating an area submitted to a
same management program must be calculated as follows:
1
m
j j
j
E
P t
DA
where
DE is the annual energy consumption indicator for a lighting installation, expressed in Wh.m-2
;
Pj is the power system associated to the operation period j, expressed in W;
tj is the duration of the operation period j corresponding to the power Pj for a year, expressed
in h;
A is the size of the illuminated area per lighting installation and submitted to the same
management program, expressed in m2;
m is the number of periods Pj different system powers. Possible standby consumption during
the extinction period of the lighting must be taken into account.
3.2.2 Area to consider
The area to consider for the annual Energy Consumption Indicator corresponds to the area
illuminated by the lighting installation and submitted to a same management program, i.e.
same dimming program in terms of power
Free translation for reference purposes only
9/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
same CLO and/or VPO functionality
same standby power
If there is more than one program management for one installation, DE must be calculated for each
area corresponding to a different program. The total DE to consider is equal to the sum of de DE of
each area.
3.2.3 System power Pj to consider
The relevant system power integrates the power of the illuminating luminaire(s):
for a luminaire equipped with a gas-discharge lamp, the flat rate power mentioned in
document C4/9-A “Flat rate power of public lighting lamps” including the dimming program
realized during the operation period j. For a LED luminaire, the power of the equipment
measured in accordance to the prescription C4/15 ‘Rules for measuring the power uptake
of LED systems for public lighting connected to the distribution grid’ including the dimming.
In case of Constant Light Output (CLO), the power Pj to be taken into consideration is the
average estimated power during the operation period of the CLO.
the equivalent supplementary power per luminaire for possible other electrical
components (sensors, control unit of the luminaire, central control unit …) used for the
control of the lighting installation.
3.2.4 Duration of the operation period tj
For information purposes, if the public lighting installation is permanently powered (also when the
lighting is off), the sum of the tj is equal to 8760h.
For a classic public lighting installation which is off power during daytime, the sum of the tj is
approximately 4200h.
4 Determination of the energetic performance
4.1 Interpretation of Dp and DE
The Dp coefficient gives for a given lighting installation the power required to obtain a result in
conformity with the standards per surface unit. In fact, it gives an idea of the initial energetic
performance of the installation, independently of any possible management program. It reflects
the performance of the selected equipments (lamps, luminaires …) and adequacy of their
implantation on the relevant area to be illuminated. The lower the value of DP, the higher the initial
energetic performance of the installation.
Free translation for reference purposes only
10/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
For a lighting installation, the DE coefficient corresponds to the annual consumption per illuminated
m2. It gives an idea of the energetic performance of the installation in operation, including the
implementation of possible management programs for the lighting. The lower the value of DE, the
higher the energetic performance of the installation in operation.
In order to characterize correctly an installation from energetic viewpoint, these two parameters
must be taken in consideration simultaneously.
4.2 Comparison of various lighting installations in the same area
Since the calculation of DP and DE implies that the proposed solutions meet the current standards,
this issue, in case of a comparison, does not need to be dealt with.
It is therefore obvious that the installation with the lowest DP as well as DE will be considered as
being the most efficient from an energetic viewpoint.
When confronted to a situation where, amongst the proposed solutions, not the same solution has
the lowest DP and DE, a reflection is necessary. Concretely, this means that different management
programs where used for the different proposed solutions. From a pure energetic viewpoint, the
installation having the lowest DE should be chosen, because it represents the lowest energetic cost.
However, this reasoning is valid only in case the proposed management program will be
maintained during the whole lifetime of the installation. In case of doubt or of probable evolution,
it is better to focus on a solution with a higher DE and a lower DP.
4.3 Reference values
It is as well possible to make an absolute evaluation of the energetic efficiency of an installation, by
comparing it to reference values.
The reference values presented hereunder are the maximum values authorized for a new lighting
installation. These figures are provisional and subject to modification in function of the
technological evolution.
The values mentioned are for DP only. In the case of DE it is impossible to establish similar values
due to the high number of possible management programs depending of the areas to be
illuminated. This must effectively be done depending on the function of the area (f.eg. commercial
as opposed to residential).
In case a road width is not included in the table below, the DP values must be interpolated and
extrapolated in a linear manner.

4.4 Examples for the determination of the energetic performance (single track road)
The illuminated areas characterized by one lighting class M or C must be evaluated as shown in the
figure below:
Description of the road and of the lighting installation:
Width of the road: 7 m (2 lanes of 3,5 m width each)
Distance between the light poles: 36 m
Area Aroad : 252 m2
Height of the luminaires : 8 m
Power of the luminaire P1 : 115 W (lamp 110 W NaHP on electronic ballast)
Luminous flux of the lamp: 10000 lm (lamp 100 W NaHP)
Maintenance factor: 0,92 (Lamp NaHP, IP66, glass cover)
Annual operation time t: 4282 h
Road classification : M3 (1,00 cd/m2)
Average maintained luminance obtained on Aroad: 1,04 cd/m2 (including maintenance factor)
Average maintained illuminance Eroad obtained on Aroad: 14,4 lx (including maintenance factor)
Based on the equation of §3.1.1, the Power Density Indicator (Dp) is calculated as follows:
The installation meets the requirements of C4/11-2 (version 2015), because:
The average maintained illuminance calculated on the road does not exceed the prescribed
values with more than 25 % (class M3 = 1,00 cd/m2)
The Power Density Factor in inferior to the value included in Table 1 for a road width of 7 m
and class M3 (<0,035).

14/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
Based on the equation of §3.2.1 the Annual Energy Consumption Indicator (DE):
4.5 Verbetering van de waarden DP en DE
Both DP and DE depend on the necessary power to obtain the expected levels, or in other words on
the luminous efficiency of the installation.
The latter can be calculated as follows:
PLORlsUMLinst ffC (5)
Where:
inst is the luminous efficiency of the installation, expressed in lm.W-1
;
CL is the correction factor for the luminance or the hemispheric illuminance based on the
photometric study;
fM is the maintenance factor (MF) of the lighting installation;
fU is the utilization factor (UF) of the lighting installation;
ls is the luminous efficiency of the light source used expressed in lm.W-1
;
LOR is the optical efficiency of the luminaire used;
P is the electrical efficiency of the luminaire used.
Therefore, to increase the luminous efficiency (inst), one can:
Increase inst , LOR and P by choosing the most efficient technologies
Increase fU, which is the ratio between the working luminous flux reaching the area to be
illuminated and the flux of the luminaire, by choosing an implantation or a photometry for
the luminaire which maximises the working luminous flux for the same flux of the luminaire
(for example by adjusting the height of the luminaire in function of the width of the road to
illuminate or by choosing for another technology for the luminaire)
Free translation for reference purposes only
15/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
Moreover, DE depends on the management programs applied. Reduce the number of operational
hours and/or the luminous level to what is really necessary on the relevant moment allows
reducing the value of DE.
5 Remarks
Even if the energetic performance of a public lighting installation is important, it is not the only
factor to be taken into consideration to determine the ‘best’ solution for an area to be illuminated.
Other elements may / must be integrated in the reflection exercise, and in particular:
The ‘aesthetic’ quality of the installation, during daytime as well as at night (color of the
light, limitation of the glare, illuminated volume, limitation of luminous nuisance …)
The investment cost of the lighting installation
The exploitation cost (total cost of ownership) integrating the lifetime of the proposed
installation
The ‘Life Cycle Analysis’ or balance of the ‘grey energy’, out of environmental
considerations
The technical quality of the proposed installation,
Etc.

In the case of a road combining several lighting classes, three methods can be used to determine
the Power Density Indicator (DP).
1. Absolute method
The absolute method consists in verifying, for each sub-area (i.e. each lighting class), the
conformity to the requirements included in Table 1 and/or Table 2. For this purpose, one needs to
determine the part of the luminous flux emitted by the luminaire illuminating each subarea with
the help of the utilization curve of the luminaire.
S1 S2 Roadway
2m 7m 2m

18/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
In the example:
H (height of the luminaire) = 8 m
Utilization factor road = 47 %
Utilization factor sidewalk 1 = 9 %
Utilization factor sidewalk 2 = 5 %
Bringing those percentages to the total power lighting the road, this means that:
77 % of the power is used to illuminate the road
23 % (14,8 % + 8,2 %) of the power is used to illuminate the sidewalks
Based on the equation of §3.1.1, the Power Density Indicator (DP) for the roadway and the two
sidewalks is calculated as follows:
The Power Density Indicator for the road (DProadway) is inferior to the value included in Table 1 for a
road width of 7 m and M3 class (<0,035).
The Power Density Indicator for the sidewalks (DPsidewalk) is inferior to the value included in Table 2
for a sidewalk width of 4 m and the C4 class (<0,070).
2. Simplified absolute method (equivalent class)
Based on Table 3, an equivalent class is chosen for one of the subareas to determine a unique class
for all illuminated areas, this unique class being superior or equal to the different initial classes.
In the above example, the C4-class of the sidewalks corresponds to a M4 class. The M4-class being
inferior to the M3 class of the road, the equivalent class chosen for the whole area is therefore M3.

19/19 C4/11-2 – 09/2015
Based on the equation of §3.1.1, the Power Density Indicator (DP) for the two areas (road and
sidewalks) is calculated as follows:
The Power Density Indicator for the total area is inferior to the value included in Table 1 for a road
width of 11 m and of class M3 (<0,030).
3. Simplified comparative method
This method permits to compare two lighting installations for the same area. The simplified
comparative method consists in calculating Power Density Indicator (DP) following the equation of
§3.1.1 for each subarea and each lighting installation. The different values for the Power Density
Indicator for each subarea are compared one to another and the installation having the lowest
value for the Power Density Indicator (Dp) is then the most efficient from an energetic viewpoint.
The same rational can be applied for the Annual Energy Consumption Indicator (DE).
