Details are provided regarding operating principles, characteristics of the technology, and configuration of systems. Guidelines are presented to assist in selecting and specifying each type of light source, highlighting application concerns that should be considered.
BSR/IES LP-11 Lighting Practice: Environmental Considerations for Outdoor Lighting
This Lighting Practice (LP) document outlines the environmental considerations of exterior lighting, especially as related to glare, sky glow, light trespass and the impact of electric light at night on flora and fauna. In addition, this LP provides information on how to assign lighting zones, and how to use the Joint IDA-IES Model Lighting Ordinance (MLO) with User’s Guide, as a basis for an exterior lighting ordinance. Finally, this LP discusses community-based design and makes specific recommendations for lighting outdoor areas.
BSR/IES LM-58 Approved Method: Spectroradiometric Measurement Methods for Light Sources
This document describes the requirements and recommendations of the instruments and the procedures for spectroradiometric measurements including those of color performance, spectral irradiance, spectral radiance, and spectral total radiant flux, either in relative or in absolute units. The spectral range is from approximately 200 nm to 1700 nm where the characterization of light from lighting sources, visual displays and light emitting diodes, is most commonly done. This document does not provide in depth detail on every subject, but directs the user to references that completely describe the concepts.

This approved method is intended to promote uniform test results as obtained under controlled laboratory conditions in measuring the luminous flux and intensity of high intensity discharge and incandescent indoor-type luminaires. All mercury, high-pressure sodium (HPS), and metal halide lamps are classified as High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps, and their photometry when installed in indoor-type luminaires is covered by this method. Also covered are similar luminaire types employing incandescent lamps, including tungsten-halogen lamps. Because of their special characteristics, low-pressure sodium lamps and fluorescent lamps are not discussed in these procedures.
BSR/IES LP-10 Lighting Practice: Sustainable Lighting – An Introduction to the Environmental Impacts of Lighting
The IES and the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) define sustainable lighting design as “meeting the qualitative needs of the visual environment with the least impact on the natural environment.” Visually effective and appealing, high quality lighting provides the greatest environmental and economic value. The intent of this Design Guide is to introduce the topic of sustainability, present its elements, and explain how it affects the design of lighting in process and product.
BSR/IES LP-9 Lighting Practice: Upgrading Lighting Systems in Commercial and Institutional Facilities
This document is intended for commercial and institutional building owners, lighting practitioners, facility managers and engineers, energy service companies, retrofitters, and utility representatives considering a lighting upgrade.
