The Lumen Method calculates average illuminance (E) by taking the initial bare lamp luminous flux (F) multiplied by the number of lamps per luminaire (n), number of luminaires (N), utilization factor (UF), and maintenance factor (MF), divided by the area of the surface (A) to be illuminated. It is used to determine average illuminance based on various lighting design factors.

Lumen Method
• Lumen Method: average illuminance (E) is
F × n × N × UF × MF E= A • F = initial bare lamp luminous flux (lumens) • n = number of lamps per luminaire • N = number of luminaires • UF = utilisation factor • MF = maintenance factor • A = area of the surface (m2)
