Municipal lighting is an essential part of urban management and plays an important role in urban construction and public safety. Many factors are considered in the design of municipal lighting, including the following aspects:

1、 Lighting effect

Lighting effect is one of the primary considerations in municipal lighting design, which generally includes road brightness, uniformity, color temperature, color rendering index, reflectivity, etc. The key to good effect is the applicability and rationality of lighting equipment. The lighting scheme must be designed according to the lighting purpose, the size and shape of the lighting area, the speed and flow of vehicles and other factors.

2、 Energy saving

The energy consumption of municipal lighting is also an important factor to be considered. In order to save energy and reduce environmental pollution, lighting facilities need to select efficient and low energy consumption light sources, and use intelligent energy-saving control devices, such as timing switches, inductive switches, optical switches, etc., so that lighting devices can consume energy to a small extent while taking into account the lighting effect.

3、 Environmental protection

The design of municipal lighting should not only focus on effect and energy conservation, but also pay attention to environmental protection. In the selection of lighting facilities, try to choose equipment with environmental protection certification, such as lamp poles that meet European Unie standards, weather resistant appearance materials, etc. It is necessary to avoid using lighting facilities that blindly pollute the environment or destroy the ecological balance to protect the natural environment.

4、 User requirements and security

The design of municipal lighting should also take into account user needs and security. The designer needs to consider the height and illuminance of the street lights, so that pedestrians and vehicles can clearly identify the road surface and surrounding environment when traveling at night, and improve people's sense of security. At the same time, in areas with large flow of people, the need for sidewalk lighting should be considered to improve the overall look and feel of the city and the safety of people's travel.

5、 Protection of historical and cultural heritage

Municipal lighting design should also consider the protection of the city's historical and cultural heritage. In some historic urban blocks, building groups and historic sites have become the essence of urban history and culture. The lighting design of these historic buildings and cultural relics needs to be included in the municipal lighting design plan, while taking into account the protection of cultural heritage and lighting effects.

To sum up, the design of municipal lighting needs to comprehensively consider the above factors according to the specific situation, so as to ensure the balance and coordination of good lighting effect, energy conservation, environmental safety, user needs and historical and cultural heritage protection.
