COMPAR？SON OF CLASS？CAL METHOD AND COMPUTER

Abstract: When people realize that almost half of life is on the way, they will understand that the route should be as important and careful as home and work. The compulsory lighting that is being done for this purpose is also the most important part of our city lighting. Not only the intersections and the squares, but also the inner and outer city, roads in all sizes and functions, must be illuminated. The fact that the enlightenment in an environment can be characterized as successful depends on the complete fulfilment of the requirements of the design, application and use phases, which are complementary to each other in the lighting process. In outdoor lighting systems, calculations must be based on standards. Otherwise, unwanted consequences will occur in the illuminating space. This article emphasizes the steps of the design, application and use phases of lighting process and their relation to each other. In addition, road lighting, which is a branch of outside lighting, is compared with both classical and computer aided methods and results are evaluated
