The lighting project is also called urban glory project, which means to enhance the overall image of the city in order to beautify the urban environment. Lights are illuminated in places with a lot of traffic in landmark buildings, shopping malls, tourist attractions, and streets.

The urban lighting project was once considered to be a “business card” that reflects the economic development of a city, and all localities are competing to create a “no-night city” with brilliance. However, in today's vigorously advocated low-carbon economy, excessive lighting can not only add glory to a city, but it also wastes power resources and destroys the overall beauty of the urban landscape, which not only causes serious light pollution to damage the natural environment. And it also affects the physical health of people and other living things.

It is necessary to maintain the basic functions of urban lighting. The main streets of the city should ensure the brightness, while the decorative lighting should conform to the function of “beauty”, embody the cultural cultivation and cultural atmosphere, and at the same time consider the financial and resource status of the city, and cannot waste resources due to excessive lighting, violating energy conservation. The concept of emission reduction and low carbon requirements.

In order to meet the requirements of national energy conservation and emission reduction, there is no extravagance and waste in the use of electricity. The following requirements are proposed in the development direction of the lighting project:

(1) Lighting The project should focus on energy conservation. Lighting should be based on functional needs, decorative lighting should conform to the "beauty" function, reflecting a cultural culture and cultural atmosphere.

(2) Avoid the disorderly development and excessive development of landscape lighting. Urban lighting projects require the participation of professionals and require overall planning and design. For the lighting project of the bustling district, scientific planning is required and relevant standards are strictly implemented.

(3) Combine night lighting with urban planning, and formulate a general plan for urban lighting development according to the characteristics of the city, so that the night illumination of the whole city is prominent and distinctive. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the management of light environment and divide the function of light environment; on the other hand, it must operate strictly in accordance with the normative design standards. This is the "low carbon" road for urban lighting.
