September LINKS: Best Practices with Pedestrian Scale Solutions

This is a detailed and thorough course designed to take anyone of any background and provide them with a strong knowledge and toolset of best practices for designing with pedestrian scale solutions. In the world of lighting, pedestrian scale solutions are primarily bollards, building elements, and pole-top luminaires. These critical solutions enable any designer to create safe, comfortable, and functional spaces for people, and more specifically pedestrians. To effectively achieve this mission critical task, one needs to understand the terminology, product characteristics, manufacturing considerations, design challenges, photometric elements, available options, and safety/security requirements.
