Illumination Design

1. A room 20 × 10 m is illuminated by 60 W incandescent lamps of lumen output of 1,600

lumens. The average illumination required at the workplace is 300 lux. Calculate the number
of lamps required to be fitted in the room. Assume utilization and depreciation factors as 0.5

80 W. The lamps are arranged so that uniform illumination on the surface is obtained.
Assuming a luminous efficiency of 20 lumens/W, the coefficient of utilization is 0.8, the waste
light factor is 1.25, DF = 0.9. Determine the illumination on the surface.

3. A room of size 10 × 4 m is to be illuminated by ten 150-W lamps. The MSCP of each

lamp is 300. Assuming depreciation factor of 0.8 and utilization factor of 0.5. Find the
average illumination produced on the floor.

uniform illumination on the surface is obtained. Assuming a luminous efficiency of 30
lumens/ W and a coefficient of utilization of 0.75. Determine the illumination on the surface.

are required to produce this illumination in the room; 40% of the emitted light falls on the

equal 1000 w lamps supported by 12 towers which are distributed around the ground to
provide approximately uniform illumination of the pitch. Assuming that 40% of the total light
emitted reaches the playing pitch and that an illumination of 1000 lumen / m2 is necessary for
television purposes, Calculate the number of lamps on each tower. The overall efficiency of
