This two-day instructional design focused workshop covers the latest practices applying to road and public space
lighting design and practice. Used to support learning in the workshop is the Austroads’ Guide to Road Design
Part 6B - Roadside Environment, a general guide to road lighting standards and practice applicable to traffic routes
and to a lesser extent, to local collector and minor roads. It is assumed that participants are knowledgeable about
lighting terminology that is covered in the three day workshop. Delegates will be sent rereading so they can become
familiar of this terminology. Additional notes will be provided in the course manual covering sustainability, security
and road safety issues not fully covered in the course. Those who have attended past 3 day Lighting Workshops
during the last 20 years and need a refresher will find this course ideal.
This workshop, to a large part, is based on the Australian Standard AS1158-2005 and provides instruction on the
basic principles but extends this to lighting design from first principles through to a design completion. A lighting
installations evening coach tour compliments understanding and learning.
Participants will have access to computers for use throughout the workshop for significant interactive learning and
case study, using the Perfectlite software. This is a very hands on workshop.
