A survey of Armagh was to be carried out in order to better determine how much money is wasted each year in Armagh on bad lighting. To do this a code for different lights had to be made, to facilitate the survey. This code is shown in the table below:

To clarify this code photographs were produced to show the lights.

 Down-Lights (Sg2)-

Streetlights

Semi Cut-Off (St2)-

Flood Lighting

Foot Path Lights

Security Lights

Petrol Station Lights

Next, a route had to be planned which could be followed. A map of Armagh is shown below. The route taken went down College Hill, right on Lonsdale Road, back down Railway Street, then right onto Cathedral Road. A sharp left was taken onto Callan Bridge Road, which turned into Nursery Road then into Friary Road. A left ws taken onto Barrack Street, then another left onto the Mall West, back to the beginning.

A tally was made of the different lights on each street, shown in this table:

This information allowed more accurate estimates to be made of how much light is wasted in Armagh, and therefore how much money and coal is wasted, as well as how much carbon dioxide produced. This information was calculated using spreadsheets, seen below.
