Outdoor check	Record before calculation	Useful page	Boundary
Target surface	Surface being lit, such as path, wall, sign, entry, loading edge or landscape feature.	Beam angle calculator	Do not treat beam diameter as measured illuminance.
Aiming direction	Mounting position, tilt, azimuth and the surfaces beyond the target.	Beam angle coverage table	Aiming across boundaries, roads or windows needs project review.
Spill-light risk	Neighbouring windows, fences, road edges, skyward light and bright wall patches.	Australian lighting standards table	This site does not reproduce AS/NZS 4282 limit tables or approve an obtrusive-light assessment.
Glare view point	Where people stand, sit, drive, walk or look toward the fitting.	Outdoor floodlight planning guide	Glare is a visual-position issue, not only a lumen or wattage issue.
Exposure and enclosure	IP rating, mounting orientation, cable entry and driver location.	IP ratings table	IP code does not specify wiring method or installation approval.
Maintenance condition	Dirt, insects, weathering, access and cleaning interval.	Maintenance factor table	Maintained light depends on conditions and maintenance evidence.
