and uniformity– Less poles required– Less installation costs– Lobs are better

illuminated

Lighting Comparison

Low Mast Limitations– More expensive– Lobs are less visible

High Mast Limitations– Considerable light spill– Light pollution on

viewscapes– Blinding glare– Cleaning and lamp

replacement more difficult

– Greater setback from planning area may be required.
