I am looking for some clarification with this credit. I have a copy of LEED Canada for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance 2009, Rating System. It provides 3 options for exterior and site lighting as well, however they are a little different. Option 2 requires you to partially or fully shield all exterior luminaires with 1000 initial lamp lumens or more, and for all exterior lumunaires with more than 3500 initial lamp lumens to meet IESNA's Full Cutoff Classification System in RP-33-99.
It is my understanding that the IESNA cutoff classification system was replaced by the BUG Rating system in the IESNA TM-15-07 Luminaire Classification System for Outdoor Luminaires? Please clarify, i'm not sure if I am looking at an older version of the LEED Rating Guide
