Introduction

Outdoor lighting in urban areas provides a sense of safety and security, draws people to visit shops and restaurants, and improves safety for drivers and pedestrians. It enhances the beauty and enjoyment of cities and towns after dark. However, outdoor lighting must be carefully designed to limit potential negative impacts on the environment such as increased energy-use and reduction of views of the night sky.

In order to promote the effective and sustainable use of outdoor lighting in Latin America, Philips Lighting and AES Latin America have joined together to offer a luminaire design competition, administered by the LRC.

Design Objective

The objective of this competition is to design a well-engineered, energy-efficient outdoor luminaire/lighting product or system suitable for use in public urban areas, such as city/town squares, plazas, and similar areas. Special consideration will be given to luminaires designed for low-income settlement areas or other such locations facing unique challenges.
