Street lamp is used foe outdoor lamps.
What about indoor?
Hanging from the feiling? On walls?
It feels like mapping every single tree in a rainforest. Just looking at your picture, there would be at least 10 nodes in just one corridor. But people seem to manage with man_made=lamp
.
Anyway I wouldn’t add every single indoor lamp. lit=yes
at the environment should be sufficient, shouldn’t it? Where do you see the added value to enter every single one?
I would use light_source=* + indoor=yes + level=*
The globes on the wall:
light_source=lantern
light:method=electric
light:shape=spherical
light:support=wall
…
The one hanging from the ceiling:
light_source=lantern
light:method=electric
light:shape=directed
light:tile=-90
light:support=ceiling
…
I have a light:*=*
tagging preset here.
There’s decent documentation (if I may say so myself ) on the Wiki for the
light:*=*
keys. ex. light:colour / light:power / light:flux / light:method / …
Because man_made=lamp
only has one tenth of the uses of light_source=*
, and the author Proposal:Tag:man made=lamp also considers it superseded by Proposal:Key:light source, I would prefer light_source=*
as per the other responses in this thread.
For indoor mapping, the light source should also have a level=*
tag and a support=*
tag to indicate if it’s mounted on a wall or ceiling.
Thanks for highlighting this - I’ve reworked the OSM Wiki page for man_made=lamp
to reflect its current status.
