I think it would be good to show a sample submittal with a plan view of the site. Most people seem to think this credit is easy since the calculations they've seen were done wrong. The most common mistake is showing an accuracy of 0.1 fc rather than 0.01 fc for the light trespass calculation. Second most common being only measuring horizontal light rather than horizontal and vertical light.
Maybe another file showing differences between light fixtures based on lamp wattage, pole height, house side shield, LED vs HID, and segmented vs hydroformed optics. Showing isometric contours under each fixture with values at 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 2, 5 fc. It would only be based on horizontal but it's a nice visual way to see the light distribution. It would help to overlay the calcs onto a small parking lot to give people some perspective of scale.
