Item 616 - Performance Testing of Lighting Systems

Performance testing under Item 616 is included in the specifications for roadway illumination under Item 610 and high mast illumination under Item 614. Item 616 calls for a 14 day operational test, with 48 hours of constant operation followed by 12 days of operation controlled by photocell. Once the system passes the 14-day test and the contract is accepted, TxDOT will relieve the contractor of maintenance responsibilities.
