LIGHTLIGHT

-The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be perceived by the eye.

- region of visible light extends from 380 to 760 nanometers

SOURCE: IESNA LIGHTING GUIDE

history importance definitions criteria Dialux 4.6

PHOTOPIC VISION

Daytime adaptation which enable us to see in detailed color. (Eye peak at 555 nanometers)

SCOTOPIC VISION

At even lower illumination, giving completely black and white vision. Nighttime adaptation. (About 400 nanometers)

MESOPIC VISIONMESOPIC VISION

The overall appearance is less colorful under lower illumination level, like those of streetlighting or moonlight. (505 nanometers)

LUMINOUS FLUXLUMINOUS FLUX

- Quantity of Light emiited by a light source

- Unit is in lumen, LM

LUMINOUS EFFICACYLUMINOUS EFFICACY

- measure of a lamps economics efficency

-Ratio of the luminous flux to the electrical power consumed

-- Unit is in lm/W

SOURCE: IESNA LIGHTING GUIDE

history importance definitions criteria Dialux 4.6

LUMINOUS INTENSITYLUMINOUS INTENSITY

- Quantity of light radiated to particular direction, radiated per unit of solid angle (steradian)

- Unit is in candela, cd

history importance definitions criteria Dialux 4.6

ILLUMINANCE (E)ILLUMINANCE (E)

- Quantity of luminous flux falling on a unit are of surface

E = F / A , unit is lux

INVERSE SQUARE LAW

-Lux decreases by the square of its distance

Ep = I / d2

COSINE LAW

-Illuminance not perpendicular to source

Ep = I / d2 cos Ø

ILLUMINANCE (E)ILLUMINANCE (E)

- Quantity of luminous flux falling on a unit are of surface

E = F / A , unit is lux

Summer noon, under a cloudless sky 100 000 lux

Ditto, but in the shade 10 000 lux

In the open under a heavily-overcast sky 5000 lux

Artificial light, in a well-lit office 1000 lux

Artificial light, average living-room 100lux

Street lighting 5-30 lux

Full moon, on a clear night 0,25 lux

Calculation by Lumen Method:

The average illuminance produced by a lighting installation or the number of luminaires required to achieve a specific average illuminance, can be calculated by means of utilization factors. The average illuminance Es over a reference surface s can be calculated from the “lumen method” formula.

F x n x N x MF x UFs

Es = ------------------------------

area of surface s

where: F is the initial bare lamp flux (lumens, lm)

n is the number of lamps per luminaire

N is the number of luminaires

Ufs is the utilization factor for the reference surface s

MF is the maintenance factor (dirty: 0.7, normal: 0.8, clean: 0.9)

CRITERIA IN MANUAL CALCULATION

Sample Problem:

Mr. Cruz wants to light up his new warehouse in Laguna. The warehouse measures 20m x 30m. He wants to mount his luminaires on the trusses 8m above finish floor line. What type of luminaire will he use and how many of those will he purchase?

Given: L = 20m, W= 30m, H = 8m, MF = use 0.8Reflectances (use default) : C = 0.7 W = 0.5 F = 0.2

Solution: To obtain UF, solve for Room Index (RI) = A/(L+W)Hw, RI = 1.5

Required Average Illuminance (Eave) for warehouse as per standard is 100 lux

CRITERIA IN MANUAL CALCULATION

Solution (cont.):

Since mounting height is 8m, use high bay fixture.From UF table of Thorn High Bay, UF = 0.78

Substituting to equation: F x n x N x MF x UFsE = ------------------------------

A (100)(600)

N = ------------------------------- (27500)(1)(0.8)(0.78)

N = 3.49, use 4 sets 250W SON-T high bay lighting fixtureChecking the lighting level, E = 114.4 lux
