at night at daylight

A scene from Vienna, at the crossing where Naschmarkt ends by the downtown. All luminaires are Full Cutoff. Their inner, emitting part is much smaller than the outer dimensions. If there would be any need to replace the bottom flat glass with a curved one, it could be applied to the inner half, the opening of the reflector with the lamp. It would still be completely surrounded by the outer opaque envelope, making it invisible from the sides. However, the quality of lighting would be worse, as the flat glass reduces glare at angles over 70 degrees.

This type of luminaires (Meteora) is very common in Vienna. See ../wien directory for better detailed images. The other type, a drop-shaped one, is the famous Mariahilferstraße model (here the difference of luminous opening width and total width are not so large, but still relevant). The third type, dominant over large spaces, is the sixfold Sistra by Siteco (Siemens formerly). Full cutoff, with flat glass, is a matter of course for quality lighting. It is the indispensable beginning of it... Vienniese Magistratabteilung 33 knows it well, fortunately!
