This document contains 7 problems related to electrical power and illumination. The problems calculate illumination levels from lamps of various wattages and efficiencies suspended at different heights above work planes. They determine the number and size of lamps needed to provide recommended illumination levels in rooms and workshops of various dimensions.

4th Year Electric Power Illumination
1) A 500 W lamp having C . P of 800 is suspended 3 m above the working plane, calculate:
(i) Illumination directly below the lamp at the working plane
(ii) Lamp efficiency (iii) Illumination at point 2.4 m away on horizontal plane from vertically below the lamp.
2 ) The Illumination at point on a working plane directly below the lamp is to be 80 lumens / m 2 . the lamp gives 180 C.P uniformly below the horizontal plane . Determine:
(i) the height at which the lamp is suspended
(ii) the Illumination at point on the working plane 1.5 m away from the vertical axis of the lamp
3 ) An Illumination of 25 lux is to be produce on the floor of a room 12m × 9 m . 18 lamps are required to be produce this Illumination in the room , if 50% of the emitted light falls on the floor . what's the power of the lamp in candela ?
4) A factory area is 40 m long , 20 m wide and is 8 m high . point source luminaires are suspended 1.5 meters below celling levels . The working plane is 1 meter high. Calculate the minimum number of luminaires which must be installed to conform with a recommended SHR of 1.5 : 1
5 ) Estimate the number and wattage of lamps which would be required to illuminate a workshop space 60 m × 15 m by means of lamps mounted 5 m above the working plane . The average Illumination required 100 lux . Coefficient of utilization = 0.42, maintenance factor = 0.8, luminous = 16 lm / W, space – height ratio = unity
6 ) The following data relate to the lighting scheme of an engineering collage :
Dimensions of the hall ……. 30 m × 20 m × 8 m ( high )
Mounting height ……. 5 m Required level of Illumination …….. 140 lm / m2 Utilization factor ……… 0.6 Maintenance factor ……… 0.75 Space – height ratio ……….. unity Lumens per watt for 300 W lamp …………. 13 lumens / watt Lumens for watt for 500 W lamp ………… 16 lumens / watt Using metal filament lamps, estimate the size and number of single lamp luminaries and also draw their spacing layout.
7 ) A drawing hall 40 m × 25 m × 6 m is to be illuminated with metal filament gas – filled lamps to an
average Illumination of 900 lm / m2 on a working plane 1 meter above the floor . Estimate suitable number, size and mounting height of lamps. Sketch the spacing layout. Assume coefficient of utilization of 0.5, depreciation factor of 1.2 and space – height ratio of 1.2
