Abstract

This article preliminary points to the importance of public lighting (PL), environmental unintended effects, as well as organisational questions concerning PL. PL infrastructure and electricity consumption in the area of the Osijek-Baranja County, as well as comparison of electricity consumption for PL with the towns in Croatia are analyzed in detail. The article particularly points to contemporary electrical engineering solutions of PL construction, light sources and PL control systems. Furthermore, it analyzes energy efficiency of PL in the Osijek-Baranja County.
