Tourist cities as like Las Vegas in USA, Shanghai and Hong Kong in China show various architectural outdoor lighting methodologies and techniques. For these three cities, architectural outdoor lighting methods and techniques were investigated, and the luminous values of advertising illuminants as well as the maximum and minimum luminous values on the walls were measured. Then, based on current CIE luminance standard and IES recommended luminance ratio, characteristics of architectural outdoor lighting in each city are analyzed through the absolute and relative measured luminance values.
