PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Committee LG-002, Lighting for Roads and Public Spaces, as a revision of
AS/NZS 1158.62004, Lighting for reads and public spaces, Part 6: Luminaries.
This Standard forms part of the AS/NZS 1158 series, which covers lighting schemes for the
generality of roads and outdoor public areas.

1158.6 Part 6: Luminaires (this Standard)
The objective of this Standard is to set out the requirements for the design, construction,
performance and testing of road lighting luminaires to ensure that they will be suitable for
the operating and environmental conditions to which they will be subjected in service.
Road lighting luminaires must withstand, and be capable of operating under, adverse
conditions, including the effects of salt spray, industrially contaminated atmospheres, fog,
smoke, dust storms, snow, ultraviolet radiation, driving rain, wind and traffic-induced
vibration.
The requirements of this Standard have been formulated on the basis that luminaires will
have a target service life of at least 20 years. These requirements specify the use of
materials recognized at the time of writing to be effective for the relevant application. This
is not intended to discourage the introduction of new technology, but new materials and
methods of construction will be considered for future inclusion only after evidence of
satisfactory long-term performance has been provided.
The significant technical change made in this Standard is to include specifications for other
than what have been, until recently, the traditional road lighting luminaires. There is a
growing emphasis on energy efficiency in road lighting and the consequential reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions. Of particular interest is the availability of luminaires with T5
linear or compact fluorescent lamps. The use of these lamps and the associated electronic
control gear offers significant energy savings in Category P lighting schemes. Major trials
of these luminaires suggest that these luminaires are as reliable as those currently installed
and that there is no technical reason preventing their wide-scale installation reference
Fisher et al. Energy efficient luminaires for local road lightinga trial,
(IESANZ,28,4,2008).
The terms normative and informative have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A normative appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an informative appendix is only for information and guidance.

Part 6: Luminaires
SECT ION 1 SCOPE AND GENERA L
1.1 SCOPE
This Standard applies to all luminaires, with or without integral control gear, that are
intended for use in Category V lighting schemes in accordance with AS/NZS 1158.1.1 and
in Category P schemes in accordance with AS/NZS 1158.3.1.
The requirements set out are, in general, based on engineering practices, construction
materials and components that practical experience in the field over many years has shown
to be most conducive to luminaries achieving their target service life.
Nonetheless, departure from these requirements may be justified in some instances,
particularly in respect of materials. Where this is so, this is referred to in the relevant text
of this Standard, e.g. Clauses 2.4.1 and 2.5.2.1. It must be noted, however, that such
departures can reduce the life of the luminaire, in some cases significantly. Guidance on
some alternative materials and technologies is given in Appendix A.
1.2 APPLICATION
Reference is made in a number of places in this Standard to AS/NZS 60598.1. Where any
conflict arises between AS/NZS 60598.1 and this Standard, the requirements of this
Standard shall apply.
1.3 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS

The documents referred to in this Standard are listed in Appendix B.
1.4 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions given in AS/NZS 1158.0 and, where
applicable, AS/NZS 60598.1 apply. If it occurs that the relevant definitions in these two
Standards conflict, those in AS/NZS 1158.0 shall take precedence.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

1.5 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

It is anticipated that a luminaire conforming to this Standard will be capable of having an
effective service life of at least 20 years under the following environmental conditions:
(a) Ambient temperature (shade)

rating and the information required to maintain the luminaire's designated photometric
performance. (Refer to Clause 2.6.)
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

SECT ION 2 MECHAN I C A L AN D PH YS ICA L

R E Q U IRE M E NT S
2.1 SCOPE OF SECTION

This Section specifies the mechanical and physical requirements that apply to the design
and construction of luminaires for road and public space lighting.
NOTE: For additional information to assist in the construction of a good quality luminaire, refer to
the relevant Annexes of AS/NZS 60598.1.
2.2 GENERAL DESIGN AND ARRANGEMENT

2.2.1 Form and construction
The form and construction of the luminaire shall be such as to ensure that
(a) rain will not collect on the luminaire; and
(b) protection is provided against rain from any direction above the horizontal impacting
directly on the joint between the luminaire body and the visor and coverplates.
2.2.2 Required ingress protection
The luminaire shall be provided with not less than the following degrees of protection when
tested in accordance with Clause 5.7:
(a) Lamp chamber: IP54.
Although IP54 meets the basic requirements of this Standard, clauses in
AS/NZS 1158.1.1 and AS/NZS 1158.3.1 describe maintenance of light technical
parameters and the ensuing benefits, such as an increased maintenance factor and
increased maintenance intervals, that apply to luminaires with a degree of protection
of IP6X.
NOTES:
1 The IP rating refers only to the interior of the lamp chamber and the potential protection
afforded to the optical components inside. It gives no indication of the reliability of
external optical components, such as an external reflector (see Clause 2.6), nor does it
indicate the cleaning properties of the light emitting faces, which could be horizontal
facing upward (see Clause 2.5.2.1).
2 To ensure that the luminaire IP rating is maintained as far as possible after the luminaire
visor has been opened for maintenance purposes, seals (see Clause 2.4.3) and clips
(see Clause 2.4.2) should be correctly repositioned when the visor is closed (see
Clause 1.7).
(b) Control gear chamber: IP24.
The manufacturers instruction sheet and the test conditions shall take account of the
possibility of dust and insects entering the lamp chamber via the mounting arrangement.
2.3 CONSTRUCTION
2.3.1 Resistance to vandalism
When tested in accordance with Clause 5.8, all relevant parts and surfaces shall achieve a
rating of resistance to external impact, in accordance with IEC 62262, of not less than IK04.
Where higher levels of resistance to vandalism are required, the applicable levels from
Table 2.1 may be claimed, provided that the specified IK rating has been achieved during
testing in accordance with Clause 5.8 and the relevant test report is available upon request.

2.3.2 Other aspects

The following specific items of AS/NZS 60598.1 regarding the construction of the
luminaire shall apply:
(a) Clause 4.3.
(b) Clause 4.12.4.
(c) Clause 4.12.5.
(d) Clause 4.13.1.
(e) Clause 4.15.
(f) Clause 4.17.
(g) Clause 4.25.
2.4 LUMINAIRE BODY

2.4.1 Material
The material of the luminaire body shall be of aluminium complying with AS 1874 and
having a copper content of not greater than 0.6%, except in the following circumstances.
While it is expected that the generality of luminaires will be constructed in accordance with
the above requirement, there may be instances, e.g. for aesthetic reasons, where a material
other than aluminium is deemed appropriate for the luminaire body. If a material other than
aluminium is used, e.g. stainless steel, it is important that a material with properties likely
to ensure the luminaire's long-term integrity be chosen. Nonetheless, the use of material
other than aluminium may reduce the luminaire's life to a significant extent. Refer also to
Appendix A for use of material other than aluminium and to Appendix E for information on
the copper content of cast aluminium alloys.
2.4.2 Component fixing devices
All components and ancillaries shall be securely fixed in place, and the fixing devices used
shall be compatible with the materials to be joined. Parts intended to be opened or removed
for inspection or maintenance, excluding the visor, shall be fixed with machine screws or
captive type catches.
Other components may be riveted or otherwise fixed permanently. Machine screws shall be
provided with lock washers or shake-proof nuts.
Where machine screws are threaded into aluminium, unless the attachment is intended to be
permanent, the mating threads shall be lightly smeared with a grease with non-oxidizing
properties. (Suitable types of grease include lanolin grease and lithium-based compounds.)
All screws, nuts and washers in locations external to the luminaire shall be of stainless steel
of a grade not less than 304, excepting that, for non-load-bearing items are retained by
hinges or lanyards, such as covers, fixing devices made of alternative corrosion-resistant
materials may be used.
All fasteners that are required to be removed for maintenance purposes shall be of the
captive type.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

On luminaires to be used in marine and other highly corrosive environments, it is

recommended that latches, rather than screws, be used for all external joints.
The luminaire body does not include the visor or any non-load-bearing covers. These may
be constructed of other materials of proven durability. Refer also to Clause 2.5.
2.4.3 Seals and gaskets
2.4.3.1 Gaskets
Gaskets used to seal the lamp chamber shall be of silicone rubber and shall maintain an
effective seal during the luminaire's target service life (see also Clause 2.5.2). The gaskets
shall be
(a) securely fixed to the body of the luminaire or visor so that they will remain in place
when the visor is opened; and
(b) continuous or, if joined, in such a way that the gasket ends shall provide an effective
seal.
NOTE: To provide the intended 20 year service life, the silicone rubber used in the gaskets
should have the following properties:
(a) It should be resistant to heat, ultraviolet radiation and ozone.
(b) It should be impermeable to water.
(c) It should not lose appreciable tensile strength or resilience as it ages.
(d) It should not emit any corrosive gas under normal operating conditions.
2.4.3.2 Sealing of spigot entry
The design of the spigot entry or, in the case of top-mounted luminaires, the spigot shall be
such that, when the luminaire is installed as in normal service, the ingress protection
required by Clause 2.2.2 is maintained. (Refer also to Clause 1.7 regarding information to
be provided on or with the luminaire to facilitate correct installation.)
2.5 VISORS
2.5.1 Attachment to luminaire body
All visors or translucent covers that can be opened for the purpose of lamp replacement
shall seal by means of a gasket complying with Clause 2.4.3.1. They shall be secured to the
luminaire body by quick-release stainless steel latches or other appropriate means that
allows ease of access for maintenance purposes.
Any cover that is not safely restrained when opened shall be fitted with a safety lanyard.
The design and arrangement of the pivots and fixings shall ensure that
(a) they cannot work loose under service conditions;
(b) they cannot be damaged or strained by opening the cover to its fullest extent;
(c) the ingress protection required by Clause 2.2.2 is maintained in service by
compensating for loss of resilience of the visor gasket over time;
(d) the act of closing of the visor does not roll or dislodge the gasket, nor subject the
gasket adhesive to excessive stress; and
(e) they allow easy removal of the visor and any retaining lanyard, where fitted, for
maintenance and replacement purposes.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

2.5.2 Materials and construction

2.5.2.1 General
Visors shall be constructed of borosilicate glass, tempered glass or acrylic, except in the
following circumstances.
While it is expected that the generality of luminaires will be constructed in accordance with
the above requirement, there may be instances, e.g. for increased vandal resistance, where a
material other than that specified above is deemed appropriate for the visor. If another
material is used, e.g. polycarbonate or modified or high impact acrylic, it is important to
ensure that the material properties are likely to provide the desired long-term integrity and
performance of the luminaire. Nonetheless, the use of a material other than that specified
may reduce the luminaire's life to a significant extent, e.g. through loss of transmittance,
unless the visor is replaced periodically as required. Refer also to Appendix A.
Visors shall be designed and profiled so as to not soften, crack or discolour during the
luminaire's service life. The visor shall not easily be incorrectly closed or otherwise
distorted in a way that would affect the integrity of the seal between the visor and the
luminaire.
All visors shall have high light transmission characteristics in the wavelength range 410 nm
to 760 nm.
NOTES:
1 The visor should be designed and integrated with the luminaire body in such a way that there
are no recesses, apertures or hollows in which spiders can shelter and spin webs. Flying
insects attracted to the lighted luminaire and trapped by webs can significantly reduce light
output.
2 The profile of the body and visor should be such as to facilitate self-cleaning of the visor.
2.5.2.2 Requirement for acrylic visors
Where the visor is acrylic, the material shall have the following properties:
(a) Luminous transmittance For a test sample of 2 mm thickness, tested in accordance
with ASTM D1003, the total luminous transmittance shall
(i) be not more than 0.2 at a wavelength of 380 nm and not more than 0.85 at a
wavelength of 400 nm; and
(ii) be not less than 0.88 at wavelengths of between 410 nm and 760 nm.
(b) Deflection temperature When tested in accordance with ASTM D648-01, the
deflection temperature shall be not less than 90C.
2.5.2.3 Requirements for tempered glass visors
Tempered glass visors shall comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 2208 for toughened
safety glass.
2.5.2.4 Requirement for borosilicate glass visors
Borosilicate glass visors shall comply with ISO 3585.
2.6 OPTICAL SYSTEM

No field adjustment to the optical system shall be required during installation to match the
photometric performance marked as per Clause 1.6.2(b)(ii). Where alternative settings are
available, instructions shall be provided to enable the installers to confirm that the optical
system agrees with the manufacturer's I-table as referred to in that Clause. Refer also to
Clause 1.7.
Reflector materials, including paint finishes used to enhance photometric performance,
shall be suitable for use in environments subject to heat, change of temperature, ultraviolet
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

radiation, ozone, salt spray, airborne industrial contamination and motor vehicle exhaust
emissions. The materials or finishes used should be durable and shall not discolour with
age.
NOTE: Particular attention should be paid to the durability of reflector components of the optical
system external to the luminaire body.
If the lampholder does not of itself ensure that the lamp is maintained in the correct position
within the optical system, an adequate supporting device shall be provided.
2.7 FIXING SPIGOT ENTRY

2.7.1 Luminaires other than top-entry type
2.7.1.1 Form and dimensions
A recess of the following dimensions shall be incorporated in the luminaire for attachment
to a fixing spigot provided on the relevant lighting pole or bracket arm:
(a) Diameter Suitable for mounting onto the applicable fixing spigot specified in
AS 1798.
(b) Depth As per the dimensions set out in Table 2.2.
2.7.1.2 Means of attachment
Each luminaire shall incorporate stainless steel hexagonal head set screws with lock nuts, or
some other appropriate locking device, to grip the fixing spigot and to ensure that the
luminaire does not move, as follows:
(a) Luminaires suitable for side-entry mounting on 20 or 25 mm NB spigots At least two
M8 set screws shall be provided.
(b) Luminaires suitable for side-entry mounting on 32 or 40 mm NB spigots At least two
M10 set screws shall be provided.
(c) Luminaires for post-top mounting At least three M8 set screws shall be provided,
equally spaced around the circumference of the fixing spigot entry. Lock nuts are not
required for post-top luminaires.
Where machine screws are threaded into aluminium, the applicable requirements of
Clause 2.4.2 shall be observed.
The means of attachment shall withstand the following tests:
(i) When a test luminaire is mounted to a fixing spigot complying with AS 1798, a total
of five successive applications of a torque of the following value shall be applied, in
turn, to each of the set screws specified in Items (a), (b) or (c) of this Clause, as
applicable:
(A) 18 Nm for M8 set screws.
(B) 36 Nm for M10 set screws.
During the test, no damage impairing the further use of the screwed connection shall
occur.
(ii) The wind force test specified in Clause 5.5.
2.7.1.3 Adjustment of upcast (for luminaires with 32 or 40 mm NB spigots)
Where the luminaire incorporates facilities for the adjustment of upcast, the zero position
relative to the spigot entry shall be clearly and durably identified.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

2.7.2 Top-entry luminaires

2.7.2.1 Spigot
A spigot of the dimensions shown in Figure 2.1 shall be incorporated in the luminaire for
attachment to the relevant lighting pole or outreach bracket end.
2.7.2.2 Secondary retention
A secondary means of retention, separate from the primary retention system, shall be
provided to prevent the luminaire falling from the pole or outreach bracket in the event that
the primary retention system fails. This secondary retention system shall be capable of
supporting the applicable static load, but it is not required to withstand the design loads
applicable to the primary system.
2.7.2.3 Pole entry
The spigot specified in Figure 2.1 is dimensionally compatible with the pole entry detailed
in Figure D1 in Appendix D, and the two combined provide a number of advantages,
including ease of installation and secondary retention of the luminaire. It is recommended
that this pole entry be used in conjunction with all top-entry luminaires.
2.7.2.4 Coupling strength
It is anticipated that the spigot detailed in Figure 2.1, used in conjunction with the pole
entry detailed in Figure D1, can support masses in the range indicated for side-entry
luminaires in Table 2.2 in environments subject to various wind categories as defined in
AS 1170.2.
The maximum applicable mass and wind category will depend on various factors, including
the sail area of the luminaire, the exact material used for the spigot, the material and wall
thickness of the pole entry and the presence or absence of the supplementary row of screws
shown in Figure D1.
It is essential that all structural details of the spigot and pole end for any given luminaire
and wind category be designed using appropriate engineering principles and taking account
of the following:
(a) The existence of manual handling regulations that might impact upon the installation
and maintenance of the luminaires.
(b) The loadings applied by the intended luminaire to the pole.
(c) The loadings applied by the intended pole to the luminaire.
(d) Limitations on the application of the particular luminaire, as stated in the
manufacturers installation sheet.
This detailed design process would typically be arranged by the luminaire supplier.

should be designed for the relevant mass and account should be taken of
(a) the existence of manual handling regulations that might impact upon the installation
and maintenance of the luminaires; and
(b) the loadings assumed in the structural design of the lighting poles and outreach arm
brackets.
2.8.3 Post-top luminaires
No information is offered on the maximum mass of post-top luminaires.

SECT ION 3 E L ECTR I C A L W I R I NG AND

COMPONENTS

This Section specifies requirements for the electrical wiring and components of road
lighting luminaires. The requirements apply to all luminaires suitable for use in both
Category V and Category P lighting schemes, unless otherwise stated.
NOTE: Further to the requirements of this section, reference to the relevant Annexes of
AS/NZS 60598.1 is recommended for additional information to assist in the construction of a good
quality luminaire.
3.2 CONTROL GEAR FOR HID LAMPS

3.2.1 Ballasts
Ballasts shall be of the reactor type, except that those to be used with metal halide lamps
may be of the constant wattage type. Ballasts shall comply with AS/NZS 61347.1,
AS/NZS 61347.2 and AS/NZS CISPR 15.
The ballast shall
(a) not be tapped;
(b) be connected to an appropriately identified terminal block;
(c) be rated for operation at one of the following voltages as applicable:
(i) In Australia 250 V, 50 Hz
(ii) In New Zealand 240 V, 50 Hz
(d) have an insulation rating not inferior to Class H, in accordance with IEC 60085.
While it is to be expected that the generality of luminaires will be constructed in accordance
with the above requirements, there may be instances, e.g. for increased energy efficiency,
where the use of electronic ballasts is deemed appropriate. If this technology is used, the
ballasts shall comply with all of the above requirements, as applicable, and care should be
exercised to choose a ballast with properties likely to provide the desired long-term
performance of the luminaire.
Nonetheless, the use of an electronic ballast may reduce the luminaire's service life due to
the possible periodic replacement of the ballast. Refer also to Appendix A.
NOTES:
1 The voltages specified in Items c(i) and c(ii) are the current supply voltages.
2 For much of the time that road lighting luminaires operate, i.e. during the hours of darkness,
the voltage at the luminaires will commonly be at the high end of the supply voltage range
because there are fewer demands on the supply network during such periods. Ballasts are
therefore required to be designed to operate at the voltages specified in Item (c) above.
3.2.2 Ignitors
Igniters shall comply with AS/NZS 61347.1, AS/NZS 61347.2.1 and AS/NZS 60927. They

and shall not require the use of tapped ballasts or be dependent on external capacitors. They
shall not produce a high voltage pulse across the ballast winding.
Igniters shall be fully encapsulated to prevent the ingress of moisture and shall have the
appropriate temperature rating for continuous use under the temperature conditions attained
in the control gear compartment. Igniters shall comply with the thermal and thermal
endurance testing requirements of AS/NZS 60598.1.

storm wind gusts, any side-entry luminaire that is of a mass greater than 7 kg and is not
designated as a decorative style of luminaire shall be successfully subjected to the test
specified in Clause 5.6.2.
5.6.2 Test procedure
A vibration stress test in accordance with AS 60068.2.6 shall be performed. The parameters
shall be as follows:
(a) Type: Fixed frequency sinusoidal.
(b) Axis: 3 axes, i.e. vertical (Y), along roadway (X) and across roadway (Z).
(Refer to Figure 5.2.)
(c) Frequency: 3 Hz 0.1 Hz.
(d) Amplitude: 3.5 gn 5% 100 mm or 2.5 m/s 2 (i.e. 3.5 gn) 5%.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

(e) Duration: 100 000 cycles 0, +0.1% each axis.

(f) Pre-conditioning: A new working sample shall be used for each axis.
(g) Running condition: The luminaire shall not be operating but shall include the lamp.
(h) Mounting: The mounting structure shall simulate normal mounting conditions. It
should be rigid but can be used to amplify displacement at the luminaire for 3 Hz.
(i) The above test is performed at a single specified frequency, but it is recommended
that a resonant search at reduced amplitude be conducted after the luminaire is
attached to the test machine. Information gained will be useful in both avoiding and
analyzing failure or field problems. If a resonant search is being conducted, a
crossover frequency of 5862 Hz is suggested.
(j) Fixing: The luminaire shall be fixed to the spigot in accordance with Clause 2.7.1.2.
(k) Monitoring: Displacement and frequency at Cg of the luminaire, or if not on a solid
surface, on the ballast at the point closest to Cg.
(l) Examination during test: A major change in frequency or displacement is an
indication of structural failure.
(m) Compliance: The luminaire shall remain firmly attached to the mounting arm. No
parts of the luminaire shall break away from the assembly. At the conclusion of each
axis test, there shall be no damage to the enclosure, no reduction of electrical
spacings and no loosening of any part of the luminaire. Any damage, including stress
fractures, that may result in a safety problem shall constitute failure of the test. A
damaged lamp shall not constitute failure of the test.
FIGURE 5.2 AXES OF VIBRATION
5.6.3 Application as type test

Where variants exist within a model of luminaire (e.g. different lamp or ballast), the results
of the test specified in Clause 5.6.2 conducted on a particular example are applicable to all
other variants within the model that
(a) are not heavier than the variant tested; and
(b) have a centre of gravity within 3% in each of the test axes of the variant tested.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

5.7 INGRESS PROTECTION TEST

The requirements of AS/NZS 60598.1 in relation to resistance to dust, solid objects and
moisture shall apply. (Refer also to Clause 2.2.2.)
Where the presence of a PE cell base might affect the luminaire's IP rating, an appropriate
PE cell shall be installed for the duration of the tests.
5.8 RESISTANCE TO EXTERNAL MECHANICAL IMPACT

All areas on the external surface of the fully assembled luminaire shall be tested in
accordance with IEC 62262 to determine the luminaire's IK rating. The luminaire shall be
deemed to have failed the test when
(a) any of the IP ratings claimed for the various chambers of the luminaire (see
Clause 2.2.2) are compromised; or
(b) any of the requirements set out in Clauses 2.3, 3.12 and 5.11 are compromised.
The highest value achieved without failure shall be the highest value that may be claimed as
the luminaire's IK rating.
5.9 IMPULSE VOLTAGE TEST

5.9.1 Test conditions and procedure
At the client's request, the luminaire shall be subjected to impulse voltages as follows.
NOTE: Refer to Appendix C for additional information to be provided by the client with the enquiry
or order.
(a) Impulse type A series of five successive standard lightning impulses (1.2/50 s) in
accordance with AS 1931.1 shall be applied, with a peak voltage of 8 kV. The
interval between successive impulses shall be not less than 5 s.
(b) Application The specified series of impulses shall be applied, in turn, between
(i) the active and neutral terminals bonded together and the earth terminal, or
where there is no earth terminal, to exposed metal parts; and
(ii) the active terminal and the neutral terminal with the lamp terminals
short-circuited.
The luminaire shall continue to operate upon completion of this test.
For the purpose of the test, the frame of the ballast shall be connected to earth and any
optional capacitor, or capacitor and blocking inductor combination, shall be disconnected
from the circuit.
5.9.2 Test criteria
The luminaire shall be deemed to have passed the test
(a) if no flashover occurred between the parts under test; or
(b) if flashover did occur but no permanent damage resulted.
5.10 THERMAL ENDURANCE AND THERMAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS

The requirements of AS/NZS 60598.1 regarding endurance tests and thermal tests shall
apply, except that for the purpose of testing the following values of ta shall be used
(a) For Australia ta = 40C.
(b) For New Zealand ta = 25C.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

Also, before the results of the tests are compared with the compliance values, all measured
thermal values shall be reduced by 10C. This is to allow for the cooling provided by the
wind effect that occurs in the field.
Tests shall be conducted with the luminaire installed as in normal use, including any
components required to maintain the IP rating.
Where the client requires additional components such as RFI and TVI capacitors, all
thermal and thermal endurance tests shall be conducted with these components installed.
5.11 ADDITIONAL TESTS

Further to the requirements of Clauses 2.3 and 3.12, the requirements of Clauses 8, 10, 11
and 13 of AS/NZS 60598.1 shall apply.

APPENDIX A
GUIDE TO MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES
(Informative)
A1 INTRODUCTION
This Standard sets out various specifications for the materials and components required to
produce reliable lighting equipment. These prescriptions are based upon experience gained
from field maintenance of relevant luminaires in the Australian climate over more than
30 years. If they are adhered to, the relevant lighting equipment can be confidently expected
to yield a service life of 20 years.
This Appendix provides information to purchasers and maintainers of lighting equipment on
materials and technologies and also on the benefits and drawbacks of adopting some of the
known alternative materials and technologies that are precluded from this specification,
hereafter referred to as non-standard. This Appendix does not provide a comprehensive
list of alternative materials. Other options might be as effective or better in specific
applications than those mentioned.
It is noted that, irrespective of the advantageous properties, acknowledged or otherwise, of
the non-standard materials and technologies described in this Appendix, it is currently
accepted that none will consistently provide a luminaire with a 20 year service life.
A2 BODY MATERIAL
Clause 2.4.1 requires the use of aluminium, except where there are specific reasons to
consider the use of other materials.
Other non-ferrous metals suitable for consideration include
(a) stainless steel of a grade greater than 304;
(b) copper, bronze or brass containing not less than 80% copper; and
(c) die-cast zinc.
Casting of metal generally provides better resistance to corrosion than sheet forming. When
choosing materials, operational temperature, mechanical strength requirements and the
likely presence of corrosive atmospheres should be carefully considered.
Polymers and ferrous metals should be avoided in the construction of luminaires for use in
the Australian climate.
A3 PLASTICS IN NON-LOAD-BEARING APPLICATIONS

The use of polymers must be treated with extreme caution; care should be exercised with
respect to operational temperature, UV, mechanical strength, flammability and corrosive
atmospheres. The following table provides a guide to the suitability of materials; however,
the relevant attributes of the thermoplastics under consideration should be ascertained via
the manufacturer's data and life testing.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

TABLE A1
RELATIVE ATTRIBUTES OF THERMOPLASTICS
Resistance to
Resistance to UV
temperature
Thermoplastics
TFE fluorocarbons Good Very good
Cellulose acetate butyrates Good Good
Acrylics Good Moderate
Cellulose acetates Moderate Good
Cellulose propionates Moderate Good
Nylons Moderate Good
Polycarbonates Moderate Good
Acrylic-styrene copolymers Moderate Moderate
Vinyls Moderate Moderate
Acetals Moderate Poor
ABS Poor Good
Polyethylenes Poor Good
Polypropylenes Poor Good
Polystyrenes Poor Moderate
Thermosetting plastics
Silicones Good Very good
Epoxies Moderate Very good
Melamines Moderate Good
Phenolics Moderate Good
Polyesters Moderate Good
Many polymers can be compounded with a range of additives to improve their physical and
moulding characteristics. Caution should always be exercised when selecting additives to
ensure that the combinations used obtain the desired properties without sacrificing one or
more of the polymer's required attributes and that the additives will remain effective over
the component's intended life.
Furthermore, reactions with surrounding materials and to post-moulding processes can have
a negative impact on polymers and polymer compounds, rendering them unsuitable for the
intended application.
A4 VISORS
Clause 2.5.2 specifies a choice between two types of glass or acrylic with certain
transmission characteristics for use in visors. All have proven long-term durability.
Other clear polymer materials, such as high-impact acrylic and polycarbonate, provide more
protection against mechanical impact initially, but after time the degree of protection will
deteriorate at a rate related to the operational temperature and the UV radiation present in
normal daylight and produced by the lamp. Lamps that produce moderate to high levels of
UV include mercury vapour lamps, some fluorescent lamps and metal halide lamps.
When considering the use of polycarbonate or high-impact acrylic, data on the yellowness
index (YI) and light transmission should be taken into account when determining a
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

maintenance factor and a suitable visor replacement cycle, which is not likely to be greater
than 2 to 3 years.
A5 CONTROL GEAR
A5.1 General
In the selection of control gear, the following should be considered:
(a) Service life.
(b) Temperature rating.
(c) Wattage loss.
(d) Immunity levels.
(e) Lamp operating stability.
(f) Electromagnetic emissions.
A5.2 Ferro-magnetic ballasts
The effective service life of magnetic control gear is inversely proportional to the operating
temperature. Typically, for magnetic control gear, the temperature rating of the winding is
based upon continuous operation for 10 years. A non-linear relationship of service life with
respect to temperature applies for example; a 10C increase in the operating temperature
will decrease the life by approximately half. The inverse is also true, with a 10C reduction
in winding temperature doubling the service life. Typical winding temperatures of 130C
and 150C apply to the ballasts specified in Clause 3.2.1.
A5.3 Electronic control gear
The benefits of electronic control gear include lower wattage loss, better lamp operation
and better control. The drawback is a shorter service life compared to magnetic control
gear. Unlike magnetic control gear, which is expected to survive the life of the luminaire,
electronic control gear must be considered a consumable part.
While a similar temperature relationship to that for magnet control gear applies to
electronic control gear, the reference temperature is normally on the ballast enclosure and
would typically be 80C or lower. Operation of the electronic ballast at this reference
temperature provides an average life of 5 to 10 years. Thus the control gear replacement
cycle is unlikely to be longer than 10 years. The control gear manufacturer should provide
mortality curves, including service life, with relation to temperature. The luminaire should
provide the operating temperature as tested within the luminaire in accordance with
Clause 5.10.
Electronic control gear may be more susceptible to failure owing to transients imposed from
the electrical supply network, including those from lightning strikes.
A5.4 Control gear location
When the control gear is mounted integrally within the luminaire, care should be taken to
ensure that the reference temperature is not exceeded and that suitable IP protection is
provided.
If the gear is remote, care should be taken to ensure that the voltage drop between the gear
and the lamp is kept to a level that will provide correct lamp operation. For lamps that
require an igniter pulse, if the igniter cannot be placed within the luminaire, a long-distance
igniter may be required. Refer to the control gear manufacturer for the allowable distance
between the gear and any particular type of lamp. Consideration should also be given to
operating temperature and suitable IP protection.
DR09007.doc - 27/01/2009 13:56:07

When mounting electronic control gear remotely, in addition to confirming the lamp
operation requirements over the distance, care should be taken to ensure that the
electromagnetic interference from the conductors does not exceed local and federal limits.*
A6 LAMPS
The lamp types and wattages listed in Clauses 3.4.1 and 3.5.1 are those commonly used,
other, non-standard lamp types may be suitable. Table A2 gives a brief overview of the
characteristics of all applicable lamp types.
TABLE A2
RELATIVE LAMP CHARACTERISTICS

Metal halide Moderate Good Moderate 3K6K Good
LEDs Very good Very poor Good 4K Moderate-Good
Induction Very good Moderate Moderate 3K4K Good
Incandescent Poor Poor Good 3K4K Good
a
Amalgam fluorescent lamps should be selected, because they are relatively immune to temperature variation.
b
High pressure sodium provides a low colour temperature and CRI, making it less suitable for lighting levels below
P3; refer to AS/NZS 1158.3.1, Clause 2.6.
NOTE: This table is only a guide. Given the wide range of lamps available, manufacturer's data should be
referred to.
Lamps generally require specific control gear and are available with a range of lamp
holders; care should be taken to ensure that they are suitable and compatible.
A6.1 High xenon or super high pressure sodium lamps
High xenon or super sodium lamps provide a higher a lumen output than standard HPS
lamps but require the inclusion of a superimposed multipulse igniter. Care should be taken
to ensure that the luminaire is appropriately configured in all applicable aspects to be fitted
with the required lamps, especially where the higher lumen output is essential to the
compliance of the lighting scheme in which the luminaire is to be used.
The use of an external X symbol, displayed on the luminaire in accordance with
Clause 1.6.3 and Figure 1.1, is a suitable indication of the intended use of a xenon lamp.
A6.2 Lampholders
Care should be taken in the selection of a lamp base to ensure positive lamp location,
lampholder orientation and suitability for the required operating position of the lamp. If the
lamp is to be orientated horizontally, the Edison type base has a long history of performing
well and is generally to be preferred.

APPENDIX E
ALUMINIUM ALLOY CASTINGS USED IN LUMINAIRES
(Informative)
Casting alloys using sand, low pressure and gravity diecasting techniques will have a
copper content of less than 0.1% provided the common alloy CA401 to AS 1874 (or
equivalent) is used.
Casting alloys used in high pressure diecasting techniques using alloy DA401 to AS 1874
(maximum copper content of 0.6%) will be completely satisfactory, as the copper content is
likely to be less than 0.3%. Manufacturers quality control systems should specify
maximum copper content from spectrographic analysis of each batch of casting ingot to be
not greater than 0.3%.
Where sustainability (or other) issues require or demand that alloys with a higher copper
content to be used, it is recommended that
(a) in no case should the copper content exceed 1.0%; and
(b) additional protective treatments should be used such that the casting so treated
performs satisfactorily when tested in accordance with BS EN 9227. It is likely that a
required minimum surface treatment would be powder coating with a prior chromate
treatment.
