Average life is the time after which 50 percent will have failed and 50 percent will have survived under normal conditions. 1.3 SUBMITTALS NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary for adequate quality control. The importance of an item in the project should be one of the primary factors in determining if a submittal for the item should be required. A “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing “G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor’s Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project. For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority. Recommended codes for Army projects are "RE" for Resident Engineer approval, "ED" for Engineering approval, and "AE" for Architect-Engineer approval. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy projects. Submittal items not designated with a "G" are considered as being for information only for Army projects and for Contractor Quality Control approval for Navy projects. Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only or as otherwise designated. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES: _{SD-02 Shop Drawings Luminaire drawings}[; _G][; _{G, [_____]}] _{SD-03 Product Data} [_{Local/Regional Materials} Submit documentation indicating distance between manufacturing facility and the project site.

Take-back programs refer to programs in which the product manufacturer "takes-back" scrap material and/or packaging associated with its product. Under a green lease, when the customer no longer requires the use of the particular product or requires an updated model, the manufacturer is obligated to reclaim it and refurbish it or disassemble it for recycling as appropriate. Using one of these manufacturer's services contributes to the following LEED credit: MR2. NOTE: This is optional for Army and NASA Projects. Coordinate with manufacturer for [maintenance agreement] [take-back program]. Collect information from the manufacturer about [maintenance agreement] [green lease] options, and submit to the Contracting Officer. [Maintenance agreement] [Green lease] for services to reclaim materials for recycling and/or reuse may not be used for landfill or burned. Indicate procedures for compliance with regulations governing disposal of mercury. When such a service is not available, seek local recyclers to reclaim the materials. PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 PRODUCT COORDINATION Products and materials not considered to be lighting equipment or lighting fixture accessories are specified in[ Section 33 71 02.00 20 UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION,] Section 33 71 01 OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION,[ Section 33 70 02.00 10 ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, UNDERGROUND,][ and] Section 26 20 00 INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.[ Lighting fixtures and accessories mounted on exterior surfaces of buildings are specified in Section 26 51 00 INTERIOR LIGHTING.] 2.2 _LUMINAIRES NOTE: Luminaire, ballast, and lamp design and technology have advanced rapidly in recent years; ensure a luminaire is currently available before specifying. Light distribution and brightness characteristics can be helpful for comparison, selection, and special applications of exterior luminaires. Computer programs for lighting design are available from many sources including IESNA and luminaire manufacturers. NOTE: As an exception to what may normally be specified, lenses and refractors of acrylic or polycarbonate plastic should be specified if secondary damage by the breakage of a refractor cannot be tolerated. Some plastic refractors are subject to yellowing and in general are not as desirable as glass refractors. Of the plastics, acrylic plastic refractors offer the most desirable properties. If vandalism is a serious problem, polycarbonate plastic refractors are less susceptible to breakage but are susceptible to yellowing after a relatively short period of time. Other types of plastic refractors are available and should be investigated for special applications. Do not use metal-halide lamps without a tempered glass diffuser. Provide luminaires conforming to UL 1598 as indicated. Provide luminaires complete with lamps of number, type, and wattage indicated. Details, shapes, and dimensions are indicative of the general type desired, but are not intended to restrict selection to luminaires of a particular manufacturer.
