Lumen Method Calculation Worksheet

Project Information


Project Name: Type of Activity:
Target Illumination Value:
Fixture Type: # Lamps/Fixture
Lamp Type: Initial Lamp Lumens:


Room Data


Ceiling Reflectance (cc): . Length x Width = Area
Wall Reflectance(wc): .
Floor Reflectance(fc): .
_____ x ______ = ________



Room Cavity Ratio (RCR)


Ceiling Height - Work Surface = Cavity Height 5 x Cavity Height x (Length + Width)
Area
= RCR

_________ - _________ = ____________
5 x ________ x (_____ = _____)
= ______
___________


With RCR, Calculate the Coefficient of Utilization (CU)


Low RCR: CU1:
C
CU1 - CU2 = Y
Actual RCR: Actual CU: ____ - _____ = _____
High RCR: CU2:

C
Actual RCR - Low RCR
High RCR - Low RCR
= _____ = X

C
CU1 - ( X x Y) = Actual CU
____ - ( ___ x ___ ) = ______


Light Loss Factors (LLF)


Luminaire Ambient Temp: Luminaire Dirt Depreciation:
Voltage Variation: Room Surface Depreciation:
Luminaire Surface Depreciation: Lamp Lumen Depreciation:
Ballast Factor: Lamp Burn Out:

_____ x _____ x _____ x _____ x _____ x _____ x _____ x _____ = _____ (Total LLF)


Calculations


# of Fixtures Required =
Target Average Illuminance Level x Area
# of Lamps/ Fixture x Lamp Lumens x CU x LLF

Illumination due to specific # of fixtures =
# of Fixtures x # of Lamps/Fixture x Lamp Lumens x CU x LLF
Area
