Fence Gate Lighting
Fence Gate Lighting
(OP)
I'm trying to find a source for the minimum required light level at a substation gate and having no luck. Any help would be appreciated!
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

The substation guides for rural substations use a 1FC uniform number for the equipment areas.
I agree that it definitely varies on the location as we have designed many substations with no lighting at all at the gates.

If you have Intrusion detecting Video Cams then it is clear that the lux level is commensurate with the cam capability vis-a-vis worst weather conditions of the place.
If the fence gate is of "electrically operated barrier type" then provide illumination that is sufficient for carrying out maintenence activities, if any.
Normally 30 lux or 2.8 ftcd should be enough.
It will be prudent to consider the feed for the lamps from emergency supply.
Havoc can be played by additional things like "average illumination", "minimum illumination" or "ratio if Max to min illumination", " ratio of day time to night time illumination" etc in these seemingly simple 'lighting designs'. So please exercise necessary caution!
Generally, people are happy with two outdoor decorative/ornamental fittings, one each on the two gate posts!!
