29. Analysis and Risk Management in Projects of Change to Led in Street Lighting According to ISO-21500 and UNE-EN-62198

LED technology is consolidated as the main alternative for lighting in all areas (home, industrial, and road). Its generalized implementation is guaranteed with excellent energy results and great life expectancy and quality. The conventional systems of lighting, incandescence, fluorescence, HM (Metal Halide) or VSAP (High Pressure Sodium Vapor) have been exhaustively analyzed and studied in depth. However, the sudden irruption of the LEDs has brought about doubts about the consequences and their effects on people, animals, and plants, which are associated with the unique characteristics of the LEDs: Their electronic nature, discrete high intensity point light sources, directional emission, high radiation energy (blue 440 nm), etc. Recently, studies have analyzed the effects LEDs can have on the health, visual perception, or well-being of living beings (glare, stroboscopic effects, circadian regulation processes, or systemic diseases). In this work, we establish mechanisms for observing the results of these investigations, analyze and assess associated risks, and establish criteria, guidelines, and components to properly manage implementation processes, renovation, or reconversion of facilities with LED technology. For this, we apply the procedures of the rules for the management of risks in projects: ISO 21500 and UNE-EN 62198.
