Part III. The Military Aspects of Light

The Lighting of Military Bases

Abstract

The third article of this series presenting the military aspects of the light and visibility continues the previous  topic. In the first and second parts, we presented the legal  and requirements of lighting in the military area, as well as  the issues of military operations, the conditions and means  of their application. We have taken a look at trends in  development to enhance visual performance and briefly  summarised the military history of the role of light and  lighting support. In this article we go around the relevant  requirements of military bases to point out the specifics of  the area and emphasise the importance of the topic. We  focus on workplace lighting, in which we cover the interpretation of modern military lighting requirements  and  its control. We show technical parameters and possible  solutions and recommendations for design.
