What factors need to be considered before selecting a lamp and how can the lighting system be divided up in order to analyze it?

What will be an ideal response?


In choosing an appropriate lamp for site lighting, at least three factors should be considered: (1) the amount of power the lamp requires to provide the needed light, (2) the color the lamp creates, and (3) the maintenance requirements of the lamp. At first thought, the study of site lighting could be perceived as a limited subject. However, a few experiences will reveal there is an array of options that can be applied in the lighting of a large area site. To examine these options, it is useful to divide the system into three parts: power control, light sources, and light distribution.
