4.3.2 Light Sources

LED fixtures are the standard for highway lighting and should be used for aesthetic lighting as well. The color standard for highway fixtures is 4000K, though slightly warmer colors may be suitable for the landscape, ranging between 2700K - 3500K. Other considerations for LED aesthetic lighting in the landscape are as follows:

LED fixtures require drivers to operate. Some are contained within the luminaire, but others are not. Ensure the design includes all components, connections, and necessary space to perform effectively.

If specifying LED displays with color-changing arrays, include strong security features to prevent unauthorized operation of the lights (manually and/or digitally).
