Lighting Calculation 13

The document provides steps for sample lighting calculations. It details calculating cavity ratios using dimensions, determining the effective floor cavity reflectance from a table, interpolating to find the coefficient of utilization based on ceiling and wall reflectances, and calculating the light loss factor based on ballast factor, lumen depreciation, dirt depreciation, and system dirt depreciation. The calculations are part of a module on lighting calculations from a project on transforming the Philippine efficient lighting market.

Step 4: Determine the effective floor cavity reflectance (pFC) from IES
Step 3: Calculate the cavity ratios using Equations and indicate
Lighting Handbook Table. Note that the effective ceiling cavity
dimensions.
reflectance is the same as the actual ceiling reflectance.

Step 5: Determine the coefficient of utilization:
30% 1.070 (from above)
It is necessary to interpolate for RCR = 1.75
28% (interpolate) 1.056
For luminaire 2, ñCC= 80% and ñW = 50%
20% 1.00

- Multiply by factor 0.9 as per note on IES Lighting


Handbook Table for luminaire 2, 300 mm wide using two
lamps.

Final Coefficient of Utilization


(CU) = 0.61 x 1.056 x 0.9 = 0.58

Step 6: Calculate the light loss factor (LLF):
- Ballast factor = 0.95
- LLD from IES Lighting Handbook Table is 84% (use 0.84)
- From IES Lighting Handbook Table, luminaire 2 is category V.
- LDD is 0.88
- RSDD: the light output is all down (direct distribution) the
luminaire is direct. From the graph in IES Lighting Handbook
Table , for a clean atmosphere at 12 months, the percent
expected dirt depreciation is 12%(use10%) and RSDD is 0.98.
LLF = 0.95 x 0.84 x 0.88 x 0.98 = 0.69 (two figure accuracy is
acceptable)
