Abstract

Increased environmental awareness and the need to optimize public resources of municipalities are driving today a generalized process of improving street lighting facilities in a number of towns across the country. This trend coincides and finds its motivation and justification essentially with the rise of marketing of lighting equipment based on LED technology.
The performances of facilities at the public level, are considering running through the gradual and call for public tenders.

• The new current regulations, both current as energy efficiency, if they exist for their autonomous region, night sky protection against light pollution.
• Establish new criteria for safety and quality assurance facilities such as those established by the Spanish Lighting Committee (CEI) and the Institute for Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE), Ministry of Industry Government of Spain.
