First, site lighting must adequately illuminate buildings, pedestrian walkways, roads and parking areas. This illumination enhances security, reduces the risk of accidents and improves the overall safety of the campus. Site lighting should also enhance way-finding by making walkways, building entrances and other key features easily visible. Finally, exterior lighting should add to the visual appeal of the campus and its buildings and grounds. 1.3 Illumination Levels: The University will provide lighting only on approved and maintained pedestrian walkways and paths. Unapproved footpaths that are not maintained will not be lit. A. For approved and maintained pedestrian walkways and paths, the minimum illumination level shall be 0.5 fc with a 4:1 illuminance uniformity ratio.  DO NOT OVER ILLUMINATE. B. Generally do not illuminate roadways, rather illuminate crosswalks and sidewalks.  It is not necessary to achieve a standard along the center of the roadways, but crosswalks should be a minimum of 0.7 fc. C. Achieve the necessary levels of illumination at the lowest reasonable levels of energy consumption D. Strive for even levels of illumination along walkways, sidewalks, and parking lots. Center of roadways should have less illumination than the crosswalks.  Varying levels of lighting along a pathway create areas that, while adequately lit, are perceived as being very dark by contrast with over-illuminated areas. In particular, fixtures that create glare by directing light into the eyes of pedestrians or drivers of vehicles are to be avoided. E. Up-light pollution is generally not allowed with very limited exceptions. Full cutoff fixtures shall be used. Provide good color rendition. 1.4 Lighting Fixture Location:  F. Roadway Fixtures/Poles shall be located a minimum of (5’) Five feet off the edge of pavement where ever possible.    UNIVERSITY of  NEW HAMPSHIRE  PLANNING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES February 2019 CHAPTER 5 – TECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION STANDARDS EXTERIOR LIGHTING 26 5600 - 2   G. Parking Lot Fixtures/Poles shall be located a minimum of (5’) five feet off the edge of the pavement where ever possible.   H. Walkways Fixtures/Poles, shall be located a minimum of (3’) Feet off the edge of a paved walkway where ever possible.     PART 2 – PRODUCTS 2.1 Outdoor Fixtures:  All lamp types will be LED type.  Cobra head fixtures are not allowed, flood lights should be avoided, but when there is no alternative, they must be shielded to comply with Dark Sky standards.  If only one or a few new fixtures are being installed, they should match the fixture type of the adjacent fixtures, and the lamp type should be consistent in color rendering with what most common in the area.  If there is already a mixture or if many new fixtures are being installed then they should follow the types described below. A.
