Recent residential communities not only have well-developed facilities and comprehensive functions but also possess a beautiful environment that deeply satisfies the homeowners. Among these, the lighting in the community is particularly important for the nighttime atmosphere. The lighting in residential communities mainly comprises landscape lighting and roadway lighting. The design of light fixtures takes into account that the road width in communities typically ranges from 3 to 5 meters. For maintenance purposes, solar courtyard lights, usually 2.5 to 4 meters tall, are generally used for illumination.
To ensure that the roadway lighting in residential communities is bright and maintains an elegant atmosphere during the day, the design of solar courtyard lights must coordinate with the architectural style of the community. This type of light fixture allows for greater freedom in pursuing the overall aesthetic appeal. The lighting must ensure good safety and security; therefore, courtyards should avoid installing lights with protruding arms near tall trees.
The appearance of the fixtures should remain simple, with a protection level not lower than specified standards. In such serene environments, high-pressure sodium lamps should not be used; instead, cooler light sources provide a quieter ambiance. Additionally, residents on lower floors should not find the lights glaring at night. The community should create an overall soft beauty.
Furthermore, the general roadway illuminance should range from 5 to 10 Lux, and there are no restrictions on glare. Brightness is relatively high at main entrances, intersections, and public areas, while other locations have lower brightness. The arrangement of light fixtures should avoid impacting residents indoors. Under unobstructed conditions, the placement of streetlights should maintain reasonable distances from residents’ windows, with brightness kept at an appropriate level. Ideally, fixtures should be positioned on the side of the road away from residential buildings.
In the green spaces of the community, a combination of solar courtyard lights and solar lawn lights is usually employed for lighting. Floodlights are generally avoided as they can cause light pollution to surrounding residents.
With advancements in technology and societal development, the evolution of lighting products has accelerated, and innovative energy-saving products are gradually influencing our concepts. Thus, there is a greater need to enhance and improve the road lighting design in residential communities to create a more comfortable living environment for urban residents.
