The lighting in the palace outer garden and nearby Wadakura Fountain Park has been renewed and replaced with environmentally conscious LED fixtures. We surveyed the unique pocket of darkness that surrounds the Imperial Palace along with lighting environment of nearby parks and roads. <\/p>\n<h3>Imperial Palace Outer Garden.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/global-research_tokyo_37.jpg\" alt=\"global-research_tokyo_37\"  \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/global-research_tokyo_38.jpg\" alt=\"global-research_tokyo_38\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The fancy pole lights in the outer garden are originally gas lamps, but the light source has been changed to high-pressure sodium lamps and now upgraded to LEDs. The average lux level is only 1-2lux along the paths lined with these LED fixtures, but inside the fixtures are 6, 26watt LED modules all pointed in different directions. This application helps to spread the light around without making a too bright, but comfortably dim atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h3>Daikancho Street<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/global-research_tokyo_39.jpg\" alt=\"global-research_tokyo_39\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Daikancho Street runs along the north side of the palace grounds, is a much narrower street and pedestrian sidewalk compared with the rest of the facilities surrounding the palace. Along the tidy, hedged sidewalk, streetlights are placed at 3-meter intervals. Mostly for crime prevention, the lights are very bright and glaring.<\/p>\n<h3>Ohtemachi Entrance<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/global-research_tokyo_40.jpg\" alt=\"global-research_tokyo_40\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The Ohtemachi Entrance area leads to an inner palace garden and is surrounded by a main arterial road on the outside, for a very open and accessible area. Most lighting is road lighting, mounted on 10-meter tall poles arranged down the middle of the street, but plenty bright to cover the sidewalks as well. The sidewalks are wide and average 10 lux, a suitable environment for after-work-hour runners. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the middle of Tokyo is the Imperial Palace, a haven for runners and tourists, alike.
