Design Elements of Spill Light and Glare Control
I. Introduction
IL Why are aiming angles important?
III. Why is photometry of the fixturc importan?
(V. What features of Musco's fixtures control spill light and glare?
I. Introduction
Spill light illuminates areas off the field of play, which can be a nuisance for nearby neighbor;.
Glare is the discomfort experienced when looking directly at a light source. The design elements that affect offsite spill light and glare are basically the same, so this discussion is relevant for
both. The two primary design elements that control spill light and glare are the fixture aiming
angic and fixture photometry. Both elements nccd to be coordinated within the design to properly
control offsite spill light and glare.
In addition to preventing light trespass on neighboring properties, another benefit of controlling
spill light is that fewer fixtures and less electrical power may be required to light a field, since less
light is wasted.
See Technical Bulletin # TB0005 for a more detailed explanation of spill light and glare.
H. Why are aiming angles important?
The vertical aiming angle is a key element in controlling the amount of light that is directed onto
the field, with steeper aiming angles generally directing more light onto the field resulting in less
spill and glare off-site. The two factors that determine the vertical aiming angle are fixture
mounting height and pole setback, assuming a fixed aiming point. Below are examples showing
how mounting height and setback affect aiming angles.
A. fixture Mounting Height
Mounting height is typically the factor that is most easily adjusted in a lighting design, since
pole locations are frequently subject to various constraints. The higher the mounting height,
the steeper the vertical aiming angle. The steeper the aiming angle, the less spill light and
glare that result. The effect of mounting height on spill and glare can be seen in the example
below.
Example #1: A single NEMA 3D 1500W SC-2 fixture is aimed to the center of a soccer
field. The only difference in this example is the mounting height; all other parameters
(amting point, pole setback, fixture type, field size, etc.) remain the same. In the illustration,

the edges of the light beam represent the rays at which the beam's intensity is 10% of the
maximum candlepower.
\• ---------
--
----
As shown in example l, the taller mounting height produces a steeper aiming angle which
distributes more light from the fixture onto the field, thereby decreasing the spill light and
glare for the nearby house.
B. Pale Setback
The closer the setback, or closer the pole is to the edge of the field, the steeper the vertical
aiming angle. The stecper the aiming angle, the less spill light and glare that result. The
effect of different setbacks can be seen in the example below.
Example #2: A single NEMA 3)) 1500W SC-2 fixture aimed to the center of a soccer
field. The only dilThrence in the example is the setback of the poles; all other parameters
(aiming point, mounting height, fixture type, field size, etc.) remain the same.

As sceTi above in example 2, the pole with the closer setback produces a steeper aiming
angle which directs more light from the fixture Onto the field, thereby decreasing the spill
light and glare for the nearby house.
III Why is photometry of the fixture important?
Fixture photometry defines the light distribution charactenstcs of a fixture, cssentIally
describing the shape and intensity of the barn Since photometric characteristics differ between
fixtures, selecting a fixture with appropriate beam control is very important. Below is an
example of how different fixture photomcii-ics affect spill light and glare.
Example #3 The only parameter that changes in this example is the fixture type, which changes
from Muscu's SC-2 to Level-S. All other parameters (mounting height, pole setback. aiming

which the beam's intensity is 101/i, of the maximum candlepower.

As shown above in example 43, the Level-8 fixture with its external visor 'ias less light in the
upper portion of the beam, which drcreases the amount oispiii light and glare for the nearby
house.
IV. What are some features of Musto's fixtures that control spill light and glare?
A. SC-2 Fixture
The SC-2 fixture utilizes an insert in the lower half of the reflector that redirects light, which
would otherwise be reflected upwards, into the lower half of the beam and on to the field.
This means that more light is directed downward and on to the field instead of upward and
off the field. SC-2 is designed to be used within a minimum 22 degree vertical aiming angle
to minimize offsite spill light and glare.
B Level-9 Option
Level-9 adds a reflective external visor to an SC-2 reflector to decrease the amount of light that
is distributed above the center of the beam. The Level-S visor is designed m such a way as to
let some light through the visor to provide aerial lighting, but reflect downward nzcst of the
light which would otherwise spill off the field. Additionally, the Level-8 fixture utilizes an arc
shield painted on the end of the lamp to minimize the amount of glare coining directly from the
lamp's arc tube. Level-9 is designed to be used with a minimum 25 degree vertical aiming
angle to control off-site spill light and glare. To reduce glare for the player on the field,
thareby improving playability, Level-S is designed to be used with a 22 degree vertical aiming
angle.
As shown in example #3, the Level-8 beam does not extend as far above the aiming point as a
SC-2 fixture does. This decreases the spill light and glare as compared to the SC-2 fixture.
There is a very irna1l reduction in efficiency of Level-8 as compared to SC-2, since light is
reflecimi rather than blocked. It is a good option when off-site spill light and glare are
important issues. Level-S provides the added benefit of reducing glare for the spectator and
athlete on the field, thus increasing playability".

COption
TLC adds a special black visor designed to provide a dramatic cutoff of light at the top of the
beam to an SC-2 reflector. TLC also has the painted arc shield on the lamp to control glare,
as does Level-8. The external surface of the reflector, and the external and internal surfaces
of the TLC visor are black in color, thus eliminating the potential of reflecting glare from an
acjaceut fixture on the pole. The TLC fixture is a good option when spill light and glare
concerns are very close to the field and/or specifications are difficult to meet. The TLC
fixture is made to provide the engineer with the flexibility to make field adjustments when
necessary to solve specific concerns of the customer and local residents. TLC is designed to
be used with a minimum 28 degree vertical aiming angle for maximum control of offsite spill
light and glare.
Since the TLC fixture is designed to provide a definite cutoff of the light beam, a certain
amount of the light is blocked, being absorbed by the black visor This reduction in
efficiency with TLC generally makes it necessary to use a few more fixtures to meet light
level specifications as compared to SC-2 or Level-8. Projects utilizing TLC may require a
stronger pole class since the TLC visor increases the fixture's EPA to (40) sq ft, as
compared to (2.8) sq ft for SC-2 or Levi-8.
An additional attachment available with TLC is the back shield, which is an external visor
that attaches to the bottom of TLC fixtures. The purpose of the back shield is to block light
that would otherwise spill behind the fixture. It is used only when spill light directly behind
the pole is a primary concern and there is no other solution. Back shields are always field
installed and adjusted to maxiniize their impact on the spill light. When a back shield is
installetL the fixture's EPA increases to a total of (6.0) sq ft, therefore it is vciy important to
anticipate the need for back shields in the project design to ensure the structures are sized
appropriately. Back shiclds are very effective in cutting off spill light in lower portion of the
beam, however they also infringe on the light that would normally project onto the field,
sometimes necessitating additional fixtures to meet light level specifications.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
AIR QUALITY-Would the project:
a) Connie! with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
No Impact. The project site is located in the San Diego Air Basin which is a federal and state non-attainment area
for ozone (03), and a state non-attainment area for particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns in diameter
(PM10). The periodic violations of national Ambient Air Quality Standards {AAQS) in the San Diego Air Basin
(SDAB), particularly for ozone in inland foothill areas, requires that a plan be developed outlining the pollution
controls that will be undertaken to improve air quality. In San Diego County, this attainment planning process is
embodied in the Region_al Air Quality Strategies (RAQS) developed jointly by the Air Pollution Control District
(APCD) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
A plan to meet the federal standard for ozone was developed in 1994 during the process of updating the 1991 state-
mandated plan. This local plan was combined with plans from all other California non-attainment areas having
serious ozone problems and used to create the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP was adopted by
the Air Resources Board {ARB) after public hearings on November 9th through 10th in 1994, and was forwarded to
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. After considerable analysis and debate, particularly
regarding airsheds with the worst smog problems, EPA approved the SIP in mid-1996.
The proposed project relates to the SIP and/or RAQS through the land use and growth assumptions that are
incorporated into the air quality planning document. These growth assumptions are based on each city's and the
County's general plan. If a proposed project is cons_istent with its applicable General Plan, then the project
presumably has been anticipated with the regional air quality planning process. Such consistency would ensure that
the project would not have an adverse regional air quality impact.
Section 15125(B) of the State of California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines contains specific
reference to the need to evaluate any inconsistencies between the proposed project and the applicable air quality
management plan. Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) are pai1 of the RAQS. The RAQS and TCM plan set
forth the steps needed to accomplish attainment of state and federal ambient air quality standards. The California
Air Resources Board provides criteria for determining whether a project conforms with the RAQS which include the
following:
• Is a regional air quality plan being implemented in the project area?
• Is the project consistent with the growth assumptions in the regional air quality plan?
The project area is located in the San Diego Air Basin, and as such, is located in an area where a RAQS is being
implemented. The project is consistent with the growth assumptions of the City's General Plan and the RAQS.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the regional air quality plan and will in no way conflict or obstruct
implementation of the regional plan.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
Less Than Significant Impact. The closest air quality monitoring station to the project site is in the City of
Oceanside. Data available for this monitoring site through April, 2002 indicate that the most recent air quality
violations recorded were for the state one hour standard for ozone (one day in both 2000 and 2001) and one day in
2001 for the federal 8-hour average for ozone and one day for the 24-hour state standard for suspended particulates
in 1996. No violations of any other air quality standards have been recorded recently. If there is grading associated
with the project, the project would involve minimal short-term emissions associated with grading and construction.
Such emissions would be minimized through standard construction measures such as the use of properly tuned
equipment and watering the site for dust control. Long-term emissions associated with travel to and from the project
will be minimal. Although air pollutant emissions would be associated with the project, they would neither result in
the violation of any air quality standard (comprising only an incremental contribution to overall air basin quality
readings), nor contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Any impact is assessed as
less than significant.
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project
region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?
