Pol 04 - Reduction of night time light pollution

ILP Guidance Note 1 updated - KBCN1385

Pol 04 references the ILP Guidance notes for the reduction of obtrusive light 2011. This has now been updated to the ILP Guidance note 1 for the reduction of obtrusive light 2021. This is available for free from the ILP website. Requirements Table 2 of the guidance note classifies different lighting environments into Zones E0 to E4. Use this table to define which sets of requirements apply to the assessment. Tables 3-8 of the guidance note define the requirements for criterion 2. For cut-off type luminaires which (by design) block out light in obstructive directions, calculations are not required for meeting requirements relating to:

• Vertical illuminance (Table 3), and
• Luminous intensity (Table 4).

This update will be reflected in the future revisions of the relevant manuals.
