Lighting of the school grounds

Street lighting of the school territory has its own characteristics, which are important to consider when designing and ensuring safety on the school site. One of the main tasks of lighting the school territory is to ensure the safety of students and staff. Lighting company Fossa Electric offers its services for the installation of outdoor lighting of the school territory on a turnkey basis at a low price.

School Grounds Outdoor Lighting

Good lighting of walkways, entrances, playgrounds and other public areas helps prevent accidents and improve overall safety. In addition, properly installed lighting helps students, parents and visitors navigate the school grounds easily, especially at night. Even distribution of light throughout the school grounds is important to prevent dark areas and create a comfortable atmosphere. This also helps to improve safety.

When designing outdoor lighting for a school, it is important to consider the architectural features of the buildings, landscape and overall concept of the school site. Lighting should be in harmony with the surrounding environment and highlight the architectural details of the school building. Main lighting zones:

The area in front of the entrance to the educational institution building.
The play structure area.
The area adjacent to the building with paths and recreation areas.
Access roads and car parking areas.
Outdoor areas for sports and events.

Zoning the area with light sources plays an important role in creating a cozy and safe atmosphere, as well as ensuring the functionality of various zones.

Outdoor Lighting Project for School Territory

Developing a street lighting project for a school territory is an important step in ensuring the safety and comfort of students and staff. When developing a project, the aesthetics and architectural features of the school are also taken into account.

It is important to ensure uniform distribution of light throughout the school territory to prevent dark areas and create a safe atmosphere. Planning the location of the lamps and their power should be done taking this factor into account.
When choosing street lighting, consider the architectural features of the school building and landscape design. The lamps should be in harmony with the environment and emphasize the architectural details.
Using LED lamps for street lighting on school grounds allows you to save money, they are energy efficient, have a long service life and provide bright and uniform lighting.
Installing lamps with motion sensors can be useful for saving energy and ensuring safety. The system with automatic switching on of light when motion is detected helps to prevent dark zones and provide comfortable lighting only at the right time.

Stages of developing outdoor lighting for schools

Development of lighting for schools includes a number of stages, starting from studying the requirements and characteristics of the facility to installing and setting up lighting equipment. Here are the main stages of developing lighting for schools:

At the initial stage, information is collected about the school territory, its layout, type of buildings, location of windows and other sources of natural light, as well as user needs. An analysis of lighting requirements is carried out in accordance with regulatory documents.
Based on the collected information, a lighting concept is developed, which includes the selection of lamp types, distribution of lamps across the territory, determination of illumination levels and color temperature, as well as taking into account energy efficiency and economic feasibility.
Illumination calculations are carried out using specialized software and lighting modeling to assess the effectiveness of the selected solutions. It is important to consider the uniformity of lighting, reflective properties of surfaces and prevention of glare.
A lighting project is created taking into account all the above aspects. The project must contain a plan for the placement of lamps, calculated lighting data, equipment specifications, connection diagrams and other necessary documents.
Based on the results of calculations and modeling, lamps, dimmers and other lighting equipment are selected and launched into production. Their energy efficiency, durability, environmental characteristics and compliance with regulatory requirements are taken into account.
After the project is approved and the necessary equipment is manufactured, the lamps are installed, connected to the power grid and the lighting parameters are adjusted in accordance with the project.
After the installation of the lighting is completed, the quality of the lighting system is checked. The compliance of illumination levels with requirements, the serviceability of the equipment, the absence of glare and other aspects are checked.

Pouring

Suitable if you need to highlight the entire building. For uniform illumination of the facade, we use white light of different shades (from cold to warm). Perfect for landmarks.

Contour

We highlight the protruding parts of the building: ends, columns, cornices, windows, arched openings. It is carried out on separate parts of the building or along the entire perimeter. For illumination we use LED strips and garlands.

Background

Suitable for free-standing buildings, structures, architectural elements. Powerful spotlights snatch the object from the darkness: the building seems to emerge from the void, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Dynamic

A lighting solution that allows you to change the appearance of buildings depending on the weather, event or time of day. We use programmable LED lights.

Accent

Accent lighting is designed to highlight architectural elements: columns, window openings, moldings. We use soft, diffused light from narrow-beam LED spotlights.

Lighting standards for school grounds

Lighting on school grounds plays an important role in ensuring the safety of students and staff, especially at night. Lighting standards for street lighting for school grounds are usually regulated by building codes and regulations (SNiP) or other relevant regulatory documents. The outdoor lighting system of a school facility must provide:

Sufficient illumination to ensure safe movement of students and staff.
Uniform distribution of light throughout the school area to avoid dark areas.
Compliance with energy efficiency and energy saving requirements.

Usually, school area lighting requirements are defined in lux (a unit of illuminance measurement). The recommended illumination level may vary depending on specific conditions and requirements, but is usually between 10 and 20 lux on pedestrian paths and between 20 and 50 lux at entrances, sites or other public areas. Here are some key regulatory documents that govern the lighting of school outdoor areas:

SanPiN 2.1.2.2645-10 “Sanitary and Epidemiological Requirements for the Conditions and Organization of the Educational Process” regulates minimum illumination standards and other lighting parameters.
SNiP 23-05-95 “Lighting” sets requirements for the lighting of buildings, structures and territories. It contains recommendations for the selection of lamps, calculation of illumination, prevention of glare, etc.
GOST 12.4.131-83 “Light signaling. General safety requirements” regulates the requirements for light signaling, including street lighting, in order to ensure safety on roads and territories.
