Hello, in one of our projects, there is a playground lit by lighting fixtures around it. Can these lighting fixtures be considered as landscape fixtures, so they could be excluded from the lighting calculations if they are switched off between 00:00-06:00.

The lighting area is MLO LZ3.

Thanks in advance

Generally no.  There's not a lot of definitions for this credit.  Landscape lights highlight plants.  And these lights are not being used solely for landscape. 

How bright were you making the playground?  How did you count the ASHRAE wattage allowance for this area?
