REYNOLDS Lighting Consultant Southern California Edison Co. Los Angeles, Calif. Merchants Recapture a Fading Market with Modern Street Lighting N addition to providing beauty, modern street light- ing has proved a major factor in increasing business and decreasing crimes and accidents in areas where comparisons have been made before and after the street - lighting installations were in existence. Consultants Pin -Point Problem Not long ago the merchants of Las Tunas Boulevard, main thoroughfare in San Gabriel, one of the first set- tled areas in Southern California, employed a group of consultants to determine how to step up their lagging business. It was found that merchants were receiving less than $.20 out of each dollar spent by the residents of their city, the rest being spent in the adjoining com- munities to the north, east, and west.. Las Tunas Boule- vard at that time served merely as a thoroughfare to assist prospective buyers to reach these adjoining shop- ping centers. High on the list of action recommendations was a modern street - lighting system to replace the ornamental system installed during the 1920's. The merchants raised the money needed on a cost -per- front -foot basis. A study was made of the existing underground cable and its insulation. It was decided that if the system were divided into four separate circuits, the insulation would do well within the safety requirements to supply energy for 20,000 -lumen mercury -vapor units on all of the 110 outlets. A switching point in the center of the system was selected since the system would then be divided into four equal parts. 25 -Foot Mounting Heights The expectation was to install the 20,000 -lumen mer- cury -vapor units on 30 -foot mounting heights. How- ever, 40% of the establishments along Las Tunas Boule- vard were old residences, churches, or country club property which would not aid the merchants by being brilliantly illuminated. Why not use a mounting height of 25 feet? The I.E.S. Code says that this mounting height and the 11,000 -lumen mercury -vapor luminaire size with a Type IV distribution pattern is satisfactory.

The 11,000 -lumen size lamp would save the merchant and the city $1,100 per year in operat- ing costs. The recommendation was accepted. Should conditions warrant, 20,000 -lumen lamps can be installed. The installation, completed just prior to Christmas 1953, consisted of 110 fixtures covering one mile of Las Tunas Boulevard. The cost of $2.80 per front foot was divided among 156 property owners. The merchants report a 12% increase in business, even for the month of February. The San Gabriel Police Department reports a reduction in the number of accidents and crimes. Surveys say that for every month a city can avoid any accident or crime in any of the four major cate- gories, this "goose egg" is worth about $1 per capita in direct savings and hidden profits, to the city. San Gabriel, with a population a little over 23,000, has counted one -half dozen of these "goose eggs" at an estimated community savings of $23,000 apiece. Avenue of the Americas Reports By MILL ARD HENLEIN, Executice Secretur.N Avenue of the Americas Association, Inc. Neu, York, N. Y. An increased safety factor has been the result of the new mercury -vapor street lighting on the Avenue of the Americas. HEN the Avenue of the Americas Association, Inc., New York City, was investigating the values of modern street lighting, prior to arranging for an out- standing installation of the latter half of 1953, the ele- ment of safety was particularly stressed. The Associa- tion weighed this factor as No,. 2 in the set of values, the first being improved business. When a half year's experience was available, the Police Department supplied the records. Accidents on the Avenue between 32nd and 59th Streets were down 41% (from 66 to 39 in the first half of 1953), and injuries were down 41 % (from 77 to 45). Meanwhile, the records for the city as a whole showed an increase in accidents amounting to 2 % (from 15,608 to 15,910) and a 1% increase in injuries (from 20,368 to 20,707). The Installation The designs of the old and the new units are shown in the accompanying drawing. The former cast -iron standard was 21 feet tall. The modern aluminum painted steel standard, made by The Union Metal Manufactur- ing Company, of Canton, Ohio, carries General Electric color- corrected mercury -vapor lamps at a mounting height of about 28 feet. The Form 109 G. E. luminaires are equipped with No. 4070 Holophane Prismatic Re- fractors. Spacing is 68 feet compared with the former 200 feet. The installation is the result of cooperative effort of property owners and businessmen on the Avenue of the Americas with the City of New York through the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity.

F r FOLDER FOR M Im- Scientifically Controlled Tests Help Assure SUPERIOR ON- THE -JOB PERFORMANCE: The superior quality features of Monotube light- ing poles are the result of.sound engineering and careful manufacture, backed up with constant testing and research. Every possible improve- ment, worked out by Union Metal engineers, is thoroughly tested before it is incorporated into poles sold to Union Metal customers. DEFLECTION TEST... The test illustrated in this folder demonstrates the method and accuracy of one of the more common tests to which Monotubes are regularly subjected. Briefly, here's how the deflection and strength test is performed: Step 1 —The Monotube pole to be tested is at- tached to a rigid, heavy, plate base. This base is solidly anchored to a permanent concrete founda- tion, impossible to move even under the severe loads imposed by the testing engine. Step 2—The testing engine is attached to the pole being tested through a carefully calibrated dynamometer. Pull loads up to 10,000 pounds are applied. Step 3 —A permanent vertical reference line, obtained by the transit, permits the engi- neers to secure accurate and reliable deflection readings. Ability to withstand excessive strains and stresses, under all types of weather conditions, has long been an outstanding feature of Monotube poles. This deflection test protects these valuable Mono - tube qualities by revealing quickly the advantage or impracticality of any proposed change in construction or design. A corner of the Union Metal test yard. For ease of observation of the entire pole and close control of loads and deflection measurements, the poles are tested in a horizontal position.

IMPORTANCE OF COLD ROLLING Made of highest grade, open hearth steel, the exclusive cold rolling process used in fabricating Union Metal Monotubes increases the yield strength of a formed tube by more than 50% of its original value. The one -piece Monotube pole thus achieves maximum resistance to shock and impact. Even if the yield strength is exceeded, Monotube poles bend rather than break.

Pole is slipped firmly over heavy duty stub which extends 6 feet into pole. A transit is located at the theoretical ground line on this type pole instead of on the test block. This removes possibility of errors due to move- ment of the stub holding the pole.

Please be advised that we have been working on this but -have not had anything.definite to answer until the present time. ` We have written to'the State Highway Department and requested that they install additional lights at the.intersection of Trunk Hightiay 100, Trunk Hij#iway 169 and West 50th Street. We requested.the State Highway Department to either install adequate.lights here or enter into a joint•project with the Village whereby the State Highway department and the Village would share part of the expense. The State Highway Depart - ment then made a survey and came up with the startling con - clusion that the intersection, in their opinion, was adequately lighted. u Upon receipt of this letter, I took up the matter with the Edina Village Council and.they instructed the Public Safety- Committee to study this matter.- This has been done and-the recommendation that Mr. Child and myself made jointly was that additional light be placed upon the southeast diagonal on Trunk Highway 100 and another one at the northwest diagonal where 49th meets Trunk Highway 100. Inasmuch as the other two diagonals are sufficiently lighted and the intersection itself is lighted by the four semaphores signals, we believe that this should take care of the situation for the present, anyway. Subsequently, the Council ordered the installation of these two additional lights and I have written a-letter to the Northern States Power.Company, instructing them to install- these two lights as quickly as possible.

Dear Sir: This matter was taken up at,the Council meeting of January. 26th, 1953, at which time the Council discussed the possibility of a street light to be installed at the intersection of Edinbrook Lane and Trunk Highway ;#100. 1 Councilman Child and I had- inspected the location previously and "recommended that the standard street light be installed at this intersection as soon as possible. The possibility of the installation of an ornamental street light .was also discussed at this time but was rejected by the Council due to the fact that it would be necessary to call a hearing on, the matter and also that the cost of the ornamental light would run approximately al,000.00 per light and would have to be assessed against the benefiting property owners. Furthermore, it would take several months before such a light could be installed. Council then approved that a standard street light be installed on this corner and I have this date ordered the Northern States Power Company to install such alight and this should be done in the very near future. Please pass this information on to the other parties who signed the petition. Thank you for your trouble. Yours\very truly, , S. R. Mitchell, Village Manager.

Mitchell: A couple of months ago Mr. John Bloomberg, a build- ing contractor, furnished and erected for the Village an ornamental street lighting standard in front of my home at 4004 Wood End Drive. He has wired this fkom the fix- ture to the power line pole in the rear of my home and, as I understand it, the Village is to connect this with the power line and furnish the glass globe for the stan- dard. This is the only street lighting the residents of Wood End Drive have and we are all extremely anxious to have this light put into operation. I am especially in- terested in this as I have a young daughter who is a nurse at Northwestern Hospital and who is obliged to work late at night and must traverse this very dark street. I would sincerely appreciate whatever effort you might make to see that this street light is properly con- nected up and pat into operation as soon as possible. Yours very truly, R.

The enclosing glassware permitted the escape and consequent waste of approximately 50% of the N / � %/ light above the horizontal, and no effort was made to redirect the downward light, so that sidewalks and jbuilding fronts received the same amount of light as the r street side. Still further, many luminaires were in- _ stalled at such low mount- ' ing heights as to place them directly in the line of vision with consequent in- Upright luminaires enclosed crease in glare and corre- with glass globe and can- opy was the early form of sponding reduction in visi- white way lighting. bility. When the brightness of a secondary source of light is calculated in candles per .unit area from the illumination on that source, the constant T is usually involved. The calculations can be simplified by using units of brightness which are smaller by the factor ,7. This is equivalent to expressing the brightness in terms of the number of lumens per unit area from a perfectly diffusing surface of the same brightness. LAMBERT — The lambert is a unit of brightness equal to the unifornj brightness of a perfectly diffusing surface emitting or reflecting light at the rate of one lumen per square centimeter. The lamlert is also the average brightness of any surface emitting or reflecting light at the rate of one lumen per square centimeter. For the general case the average must be taken in a double sense, to take account of variation of brightness with angle of observation and also of its variation from point to point on the surface considered. For mosti purposes the millilambert, 0.001 lambert, is the preferable practical unit. i Brightness expressed in candles per square centimeter may be reduced to lamberts by multiplying by R- ;-htness expressed in candles per square inch may be reduced to is b n Y multiplying i P Y g b Y "/6.45, or 0.487. "r JOT- LAMBERT —The foot - lambert is a unit of brightness •o,%l to the average brightness of any surface emitting or oecting, light at the rate of one lumen per square foot, or "ie uniform brightness of a perfectly diffusing surface emit- ting or reflecting light at that rate. The average brightness of any reflecting surface in foot- lamberts is therefore the product of the illumination in foot-candles by the reflec- tion factor of the surface. One foot - lambert is equal to 1.076 millilamberts. One foot - lambert is equal to 1/144 7- candles per square inch; bright- ness expressed in candles per square inch may, therefore, be reduced to foot- lamberts by multiplying by 452. The foot - lambert is the same as the "apparent foot - candle." With the development of reflectors the pendant type luminaires soon supplanted the ornamental upright type for new installations. This equipment not only per- mitted the scientific design of luminaires but also gave improved results by permit- ting greater mounting heights and better arrange- ment of luminaires with re- spect to their transverse po- sitions and so obtain not only better utilization of light but also a substantial increase in visibility through reduction in glare.

Its glass prism reflecting surface is utterly free from the mechanical and thermal deterioration which gradually decrease the efficiency of other types of reflectors. You can easily adapt the Prismalite to many different installations. A clear glass globe is easily interchangeable with three types of assymetric refractors which re- direct the light from a luminaire to a certain desired area. A variety of interchangeable hoods and brackets are available for every mounting requirement. ;= The Prismalite is furnished with several types of glassware holders all of which effectively seal out moisture and dirt, yet permit replacing of glassware in the field.

No need to maintain a reserve stock of luminaires to replace those which must be factory repaired. LINE MATERIAL COMPANY DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN STREET LIGHTING 1st of a Series . » Topics of Street Lighting Fundamentals Throughout the centuries street lighting has been and remains today a measure of social and industrial prog- ress. Social progress is in- dicated by the extent to which available materials and information are utilized for this important service. Industrial progress is re- flected in the advancement of design and manufacture of luminaires and auxiliary equipment. The earliest forms of pub - Sir Henry Burton, Lord lic lighting were accom- Mayor of London, in 1415 plished by placing lighted ordered all householders to hang out lanterns. candles in windows of homes along the street. In 1415 Sir Henry Burton, Lord Mayor of London, ordered all householders to hang out lanterns in the winter evenings between All- Hollows and Candlemas. Later in 1694 Edward Hemming obtained a con- tract to place lights opposite every tenth house in London. This may well have been the first contract for street lighting. As an indication that public lighting service bad not proven entirely feasible, probably because of the cost involved, it is noted that all London householders in 1716 were required to hang out lanterns between the hours of 6 and 11 from Sep- tember 29 to March 25. In these early periods it is believed that the chief motive in lighting was for its aid in police protection and to a lesser degree to aid pedestrians in finding their way about. With the advent of gas jets, Bunsen burners, and the carbon published by LINE MATERIAL COMPANY, Milwaukee,Wis. arc, each in turn was used to supplant the earlier forms of lighting. Up until the invention of the incandescent lamp, the require- ments for street lighting did not change to any.great extent. Traffic was either pedestrian or horse -drawn vehicles which did not require high levels of illumination. In this sense we can say that the social requirements which remained substantially the same were more fully met with the introduction of each new form of lighting. At about the time of the introduction of the incandescent lamps a new era in transportation was ushered in with the automobile which has resulted in changed social and eco- nomic habits of people the world over. Edward Hemming, in 1694, obtained a contract to place lights opposite every tenth house in London. Increasing traffic volume and speeds have imposed new and more stringent re- quirements on public light- ing. Instead of serving the main purpose of affording protection against crime, the chief _function of today's street lighting systems is to promote safety from traffic hazards. A study of the extent to which our present day re- quirements are being met compared with the require- ments of earlier periods forces one to the unpleas- ant conclusion that we are not doing as good a job to- day in that we aren't utiliz- ing our knowledge or avail- LINE MATERIAL COMPANY' i In 1716 all London house- holders were required to hang out lanterns. able materials to the extent required to eliminate un- necessary human and eco- nomic loss. The obligation for public lighting rests with the pub- lic who make use of avail- able equipment and to the manufacturers to the extent that they design and de- velop the most satisfactory equipment to the best of their knowledge and skills. Starting with the carbon arc lamp both equipment and practices have undergone revo- lutionary changes. Whereas in the early forms of luminaires very little attention was given to lighting efficiency from a standpoint of light distribution and direction, we are now in a period where this phase is given as much attention As in the gradual development of any other science or art a certain phraseology and vocabulary has grown with the sci- ence of street lighting. Listed below are the more common terms used, together with the definition. CANDLE —The candle is the unit of luminous intensity. The unit used in the United States is a specified fraction of the average horizontal candlepower of a group of 45 carbon -fila- ment lamps preserved at the Bureau of Standards, when the lamps are operated at specified voltages. This unit is identi- cal, within the limits of uncertainty of measurement, with the International Candle established in 1909 by agreement be- tween . the national standardizing laboratories of France, Great Britain, and the United States, and adopted in 1921 by the International Commission on Illumination. CANDLE POWER is luminous intensity expressed in candles. It is the amount of light that will illuminate to the intensity of one Foot - Candle a surface one foot distant from the light source. LUMEN is the unit of light output. One lumen will light one square foot of surface, every point of which is equidis- tant from a point light source, to an average intensity of one Foot - Candle. The total lumens over a given area are determined by the average intensity in Foot - Candles times the.number of square feet of the area. FOOT - CANDLE —The foot - candle is the unit of illumina- tion when the foot is taken as the unit of length. It is the 0 LINE MATERIAL COMPANY as was formerly given to efficient generation and utilization of power. Not only has more attention been given to the distribution of light from given luminaires to provide the best light pattern, but also consider- able improvement in the a practice of locating and -/ positioning lamps has been y /� made largely through the efforts of the manufacturers. In the earlier forms of so- called white way lighting, it was customary to use up- right luminaires enclosed with glass globe and can- opy. In this development by far the greater attention was paid to appearance, and little attention was 1� y� Street lighting primarily was for police protection. illumination on a surface one square foot in area on which there is a uniformly distributed flux of one lumen, or the illumination produced at a surface all points of which are at a distance of one foot from a uniform point source of one candle. LUX —The lux is the practical unit of illumination in the metric system, equivalent to the "meter- candle." It is the illumination on a surface one square meter in area on which there is a uniformly distributed flux of one lumen, or the illumination produced at a surface all points of which are at a distance of one meter from a uniform point source of one candle. QUANTITY OF LIGHT—Quantity of light is the product of the luminous flux by the time it is maintained. It is the time integral of luminous flux. LUMEWHOUR —The lumen -hour is the unit of quantity of light. It is the quantity of light delivered in one hour by a flux of one lumen. BRIGHTNESS— Brightness is the quotient of the luminous intensity of a surface measured in a given direction by the area of this surface projected on a plane perpendicular to the direction considered. In practice no surface obeys exactly the cosine laws of emission or re- flection; hence the brightness of a surface generally is not uniform but varies with the angle at which it is viewed. UNITS OF BRIGHTNESS —The practice recognized interna- tionally is to express brightness in candles per unit area of surface. The brightness of any surface, in a specified direc- tion, can also be expressed in terms of the lumens per unit area from a perfectly diffusing surface of equal brightness. 0 i a id% R� Our 1/ SdIU• i L c� 0 I DESIGN NO.-T571- { Source of Ii 7.

Thirteen (13) turned wood poles with steel bracket arms and pendant type symmetric luminaires are to be furnished and Installed. Underground distribution circuits are to be provided to each light from the controlled street lighting supply at the service points. Six service points will be used and the controlled street lighting supply at these points will be provided by Northern States Power Company. DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITS The underground distribution circuits shall be two -wire, 120 volt multiple circuits.throughout. The system shall be laid out as shown on the Plans and each circuit shall be brought into a fuse cabinet at the service point.and fused. Fuse cabinets are to be mounted on wood poles .provided by Northern States Power Company at the indicated service, points. Underground-Cable and Conductort All circuits shall consist of one single conductor .cable'. and one neutral.wire. All cable shall be No. 6 A.W.G solid or stranded conductor, 600 volt, designed for burial in earth without ducts or conduits and of an approved type such as Anaconda Wire & Cable "Durasheath "; Okonite Company type General Electric "Versatol- Geoprene" or "RJ "; Crescent Wire & Cable "Impervex "; General Cable "Trenchlay "; Hazard "Armortite "; or equal. The neutral wire shall be triple braid, weatherproof, solid copper conductor of No. 6 A.W.G. Laying of Cable - Conduits & Moulding The cable and neutral-wire shall be installed 18 inches underground, usually along lot lines as indicated in the Plan entitled "Location Plan of Proposed Ornamental Lighting System." Where cable will cross streets or driveways, both cable and neutral wire shall be installed in conduit or galvanized iron. pipe of not less than 1" diameter.. Care must be taken to lay each conduit run to provide'a slight slope for drainage. Wherever such conduit or pipe is used, the ends shall be carefully reamed to protect the cable and finally shall be closed by inserting a loose stopper plug of, 'Oakum" or similar material to prevent earth from entering the pipe,, Conduit or galvanized pipe shall likewise be provided For risers at the service points and for the lower portion of the'risers on the light poles themselves as shown on the drawings. The lower. end of riser conduits shall be reamed and installed so as to permit free drainage and shall not be sealed. All cable run through conduit shall-be pulled by hand, and shall riot be strained in any manner in so doing. Where conduit is not used, cable shall be packed in sand to provide a cushion and to facilitate drainage, in the following manner: The trench shall be dug to the proper depth, then filled with 3 inches of clean sand, leveled and lightly tamped; the cable and neutral wire shall be laid true in the trench and covered with not less than 3 inches of sand which shall also be leveled and tamped about the side and over the cable; the trench shrill then be filled and finished in the regular manner. Wherever excavations for cable or conduit are made as above provided, the backf ill shall be compacted to the consistency of the surrounding materials., Circuits shall be carried to the base of each light pole, where connections will be made to the lamp leads. Where two poles are on one circuit, the circuit should not be out at the first pole but extended continuously to the second. Fuse Cabinets At each service point, each circuit (cable and neutral wire) shall be carried up the Northern States Power Company pole in conduit (not less than 1 ") and terminated in a weatherproof galvanized steel fuse cabinet located 8 feet above the ground; as shown on the drawing entitled '.'Cabinet Installation for Con- trolled Supply to Ornamental Street Lighting System ". - 2 - There shall be provided by the contractor and installed in. each fuse cabinet, one porcelain fuse block for plug type fuse, single or double pole as required, complete with 10 ampere plug fuses, connected so as to provide .a separate fuse in each lighting circuit. The neutral shall not be fused but it shall -be bonded to the cabinet. From the fuse cabinet, two No.'6 A.W.G., 600 volt, 30% rubber covered supply wires..shall be 'extended up the pole. ..in conduit and-terminated four feet out from a type F.E. condulet to be placed one foot below the lowest overhead street lighting supply wire of the Northern States Power Company, The Company will make.the final service connections. POLES AND UPSWEEP ARMS The contractor.shall furnish and erect,thirteen (13); thirty (30).foot Western Red Cedar poles. complete with six foot up- sweep.braoket arms similar and equal to General Electric Company's Catalogue No. A5G5, equipped to mount top- tapped luminaire such as, Line Material "Spherolite ", Westinghouse "AK -10 ", or.General Electric "Form 7.9 ". The poles shall be turned to remove all sap wood, except that sap wood shall be left on the lower 7$ feet of the pole,.which area shall be given standard Penetrex butt treatment. The finished poles shall be,uniformly of six inch (6 ") top diameter and of reasonable conformity to each other in their other d.,.mensions. They shall be true and straight without sweep, blemish or excessive check. A conical "roof" shall be left on each pole as indicated by the drawings. The turning process shall leave the pole surface smooth and suitable for finish painting or staining. Poles shall be delivered and erected without dragging, scuffing or gaffing. They shall be set true and vertical five and one -half ( 5Q feet in the ground, and installation of arms and wiring shall be done without use of climbers so that the poles shall be free of defacement and capable of producing a first -class finished surface. The exact location and grade line will be determined and established by the Spring Realty Company, following the Plan as shown on the drawings. n general, the poles will be placed on centers approximately 18" from the street side of the curbstone or established curb line. After all construction is completed, including wiring, the poles and wood moulding shall be stained with a high quality creosote stain of dark green color or such other color as may be selected by the Spring Realty Company. - 3 - The upsweep arms shall be attached to the poles with the top bolt hole 12" from!the top of the pole, giving a luminaire mounting height of approximately 251 above the ground line of the pole. Attachment shall be made using one 5/8" x 8" through bolt at the top (out off if necessary so as not to extend more than Q" beyond the nut) and three $" x 4" lag screws (two in the arm, one in the, brace ). The arms, braces and conduit shall be cleaned and painted with a good grade of rustproof metal primer paint before assembly and erection. After erection, they shall be painted with a good grade of weatherproof paint; such as, Minnesota Linseed-Oil Paint Company's S5541 "Lamp Post Green Paint" or approved equal, or such color as may be selected by the Realty Company. POST WIRING All light post wiring from the distribution circuits (cable and neutral) at the base of the poles to the luminaires shall be No. 10 A.W.G., 600 volt wire of the same type as the cable used in the underground circuits. Connections between the post wiring and the cable and neutral wire shall be made with split -bolt solderless connectors, taped with rubber tape to a thickness at least 1i times that of the original insulation, covered with protective tape, and the whole painted with two coats of waterproof insulating paint.

I have taken this matter up with Mr. McDaniels of the Northern States Power Company, and he promised to withhold installa- tion of the street light until I am able to contact your Honor and file my protest. Last year I succeeded in removing a telephone pole that was very near the position of the contemplated new installation of the street light, for the reason that it was not enhancing,the beauty of my property and I do not know of any poles that would beautify any property. I, therefore, protest the new installation contemplated and I hope that you will retain the street light in its present location. I also wish to ask the Northern States Power Company, with your assistance, to feed this light by an underground circuit. I also wish your Honor would help the Hilldale Community by requesting the Northern States Power, together with the Telephone Company to run underground wires crossing Circle West between the properties of Mr. and Mrs. Howard King and our property and between the properties of Mr. Walter Rabe and Mrs. Lynch, all located on Circle West. There are two telephone wires and four electrical wires now crossing the street overhead and we desire to have this service cross the street by underground circuit. This will enhance the beauty of our property as well as value. Hilldale Improvement Association has asked me to contact you for your help. Very truly your$, JOSEP At.B SS JAB: mk . t �: , March 21, 1949• To the Edina Village Council: We, the undersigned, owners of properties in the immediate neighborhood of the intersections named below, respectfully petition the Village Council for installation of street lights ats 1.
