In an attempt to reduce the negative ecological impact of outdoor lighting, amber and warm white light sources and delimited light distributions are currently being tested. This study investigates elderly pedestrians’ acceptance and preference regarding sustainable outdoor lighting in a field test along a pedestrian/bicycle path. Three different correlated color temperatures (1800 K-amber, 2200 K and 3000 K) and two different optics for regular and delimited light distributions were evaluated. The results show that the satisfaction with the regular light distribution was significantly higher than with the delimited. The light with correlated color temperature of 2200 K with a regular light distribution was most preferred. When asked about accepting amber lighting on a pedestrian/bicycle path, 53% where positive, 23.5% said no and 23.5% were unsure.
