Non-intersection locations were reviewed next. One non-intersection decorative <br />light was planned in the Report, at the location where the trail meanders onto the <br />City-owned property west of City Hall. A bench, kiosk and trash containers were <br />planned for this location, and it was felt a decorative light would be appropriate. <br />However with the elimination of the trail amenities, it is no longer necessary to <br />provide decorative lighting at this location. This decorative light could be changed <br />to a standard shoebox style light. <br />The results of the review of the decorative lights included in the Feasibility Report <br />would convert one decorative light to a standard fixture, reducing the total <br />number of decorative lights from 11 to 10. <br />Light Distribution Comparison <br />Council requested that Staff determine if there is a difference in the spacing <br />required for the standard shoebox unit or the decorative lighting unit. <br />Specifically, would replacing the decorative lights proposed along Trail Segments <br />1-5 with standard lights alter the required spacing of the light fixtures? A <br />photometric analysis of the trail corridor was performed to determine required <br />spacing for each type of fixture and to establish a more accurate total for the <br />overall number of lights that will be required for the project. The photometric <br />analysis was performed on the standard Emco Shoebox fixture and the <br />decorative Lumec Domus light fixture. <br />The analysis determined that the Emco Shoebox fixture and the Lumec Domus <br />fixture have very similar optics and that the light distribution is nearly identical. <br />The iso-illuminance templates for each luminaire are shown in the following <br />illustration: <br />SHOEBOX LIGHT DECORATIVE LIGHT <br />As illustrated above, there is little difference between the illumination patterns, <br />and there would be no advantage or disadvantage gained in using a shoebox <br />luminaire in lieu of the decorative fixture for this trail lighting project. The <br />resultant spacing would be the same with either light.
