2.6. Lighting design

2.6.1. General criteria

The lighting systems shall be designed and fabricated in order to guarantee:

• the required type, quality, reliability of operation and lighting levels

• safety for people and objects
• possibility of improvements/expansion
• simple running and maintenance

The installation of lighting plants should be designed in order to ensure at least medium
lighting levels in operation, specified in the following tables for different areas, indicated
below, with respect of the conformity grade recommended.

The tables show, in a purely indicative way, the values of initial lighting, assuming
medium decay of lighting elements in respect to the levels in operation of 0.15-0.25.

The decay of lighting elements should be specified by the maker and the following factors
should be taken into consideration:

• ageing of lamps and loss of emitted initial flux

• dust deposits on devices and lamps
• deterioration and ageing of devices, walls, reflective surfaces, screens
• higher than usual absorption of light for the presence of dust in the zone of illumination

The lighting levels recommended for safety lighting and the areas, within which the
installation of safety lighting plant is considered advisable, should be checked in
conformity with the legislation and requirements in force at the installation site (refer to
the standards UNI EN 1838, UNI 10380 and UNI 10819)

Generally, the safety lighting plant is designated to provide lighting in an uniform manner
for the areas and evacuation means (corridors, doors, stairs etc.), for this reason it should
be of choice the use of an increased number of luminous sources, even if of low
luminance, instead of using a small number of sources of high luminance.

The design shall be also developed taking into account installation costs, expenses and
maintenance costs.

2.6.2. Classification of lighting systems

In respect of their function, lighting levels, quality and reliability of electric supply system,
the lighting systems shall be divided and classified as follows:

2.6.2.1. Normal lighting

It is the lighting set up and sized so as to enable normal operating activities.

2.6.2.2. Emergency lighting

It is the lighting which, in case of power loss of the main supplies, is set up and sized so
as to enable reduced operations to be carried out still guaranteeing the temporary

running continuity of the plants and the compliance with safety conditions until the
restoration of the initial conditions or until the plants stop.

2.6.2.3 Safety lighting

It is the lighting which, in case of a total power loss of either main or emergency supplies,
is set up and sized so as to provide minimum suitable conditions of safety or survival and
enable communication activities, immediate aid, evacuation of people or remedy actions
to safeguard the plants.

2.6.3. Lighting levels

Unless otherwise specified in the Data Sheet, the minimum lighting levels listed in TABLE
1 shall be provided.
The lighting levels of plant areas or rooms not listed here below or rooms in which there
is special need personnel shall be defined case by case depending on their similarity to
the table values or by referring to good engineering practices.

2.6.5. Special requirements

The lamps and lighting fixtures shall be chosen, positioned and oriented so as to keep
within the limits of good practice any shadows, direct, indirect and reflected glares as well
as stroboscopic effects.
The positioning and orientation of the lighting fixtures shall be as even as possible and
thoroughly studied in order to avoid the above mentioned phenomena, especially when
narrow beam (< 15°) and medium beam (15 - 30°) projectors are used. When required,
the lighting fixtures shall be provided with opaque or semi-transparent screens or
refractors.

2.6.6. Lighting methods

Normally lighting shall be of general, even and direct type, supplemented by additional
lights to lift the lighting levels locally when required for operative purposes. In critical
areas or where required by law, lighting shall be supplemented by safety light.

Regulators of luminous flow may be considered for use.

Regulators of luminous flow shall be power stabilisers, it shall provide for the regulation of
the lamps intensity through an action of linear reduction of the power supply voltage
according to the cycles programmable in value and in time.

a) industrial environment: to be preferably used in the non-manned places to save

energy and/or to comply with particular normative references regarding luminous
contamination (protected areas, parks);

b) civil environment: for luminous flow regulation in housings adapted for control rooms,
offices etc. to reduce the reflective effect on the monitors.

2.6.7. Selection of lamp types

Lamps shall be used that have a high light efficiency, that are reduced in size according
to their power, that are resistant to voltage and temperature changes, and that have a
good colour rendering.
Normally, depending on the various applications and in normal environmental conditions,
the types of lamps indicated in TABLE 2 shall be used.

2.6.8. Supports - Lighting fixtures positioning

Unless otherwise required in the specific job documentation, the supports for the lighting
fixtures shall be chosen as follows:

2.6.8.1. Lighthouse towers

Mobile crown or overturning pole type. Maximum overground height < 20 m.

2.6.8.2. Poles for street lighting

The poles shall be tubular and made of steel with or without range depending on the
roadway width and the relevant distance in between poles (poles without range can be
used when the roadway width is less than or equal to 0.8 times the pole height).
Unilateral location plan (lights installed on one side of the road only), unilateral-central
location plan (lights installed on a double-ranged pole in the middle of the road), bilateral
with zigzag (lights installed alternatively on the two sides of the road).

The distance between the poles shall normally be inversely proportional to the roadway
width and approximately:

• 3 ÷ 3.3 times the pole height in case of unilateral or central positioning

• 2 ÷ 3 times the pole height in case of bilateral positioning

The pole height shall normally be:

• greater than the roadway width for unilateral and central positioning and greater than
half the roadway width in the zig-zag positioning
• the maximum height shall not be in any case greater than 8 - 12 metres

2.6.8.3. Particular requirements for enclosures lighting systems, when included, shall be specified
in the Data Sheet.

2.6.8.4. The light stakes installed at floor level or on supports shall be made of metallic tube.

Note:

Greater heights shall be used to improve the uniformity of lighting and to reduce glare
and shadows.
Lower heights shall be used in case of adverse environmental conditions such as fog for
long periods etc.

2.6.9. Calculations and inspections

The design of the lighting system shall be provided with the necessary project
calculations and/or inspections which shall take into account the coefficients and indexes
of calculations relevant to the area in question.

2.7.1. Normal light

2.7.1.1. General criteria

In on-shore plants, the general lighting for outdoors areas, roads, yards, tanks area etc.
and, when required, for enclosures, shall be realised maximising the use of floodlight
towers, for the exception of areas subject to environment respecting zones.
The location of the floodlight towers, the types, number and orientation of floodlights shall
be chosen so as to privilege the lighting of roads, passage and work areas and areas
which are critical for people safety.
If necessary and/or required in the specific job documentation, the general lighting shall
be supplemented with local lighting.
In process and service plants the lighting shall be obtained by means of lighting points
uniformly distributed privileging work, manoeuvre control and passage areas and escape
routes.
In off-shore plants, the lighting shall be realised similarly to what previously highlighted
for on-shore process and service plants paying particular attention to safety problems.
The use of floodlights shall be limited to specific applications paying particular attention to
glare problems and in compliance with the sea safety standards.

2.7.1.2. Supply

Unless otherwise specified in the specific job documentation, the supply for normal
lighting shall be shunted directly in low voltage from the auxiliary service boards (ASB) of
the plant cabins (or equivalent boards).
For this reason, a "normal light" section shall be provided on the above boards.
Should cabin lighting boards be required, possibly with insulated transformer in between,
such boards shall be supplied in low voltage and preferably from cabin auxiliary service
boards.
The insulated transformer shall be of the resin type with an adequate degree of
protection; delta-connected if primary; star if secondary and with accessible neutral
directly grounded.
The supply boards to the lighting circuits shall be located as much as possible in a
barycentric position in respect of the loads to supply so as to keep the circuits length to a
minimum.
If necessary, and depending upon the plant size, small local distribution boards shall be
provided.

2.7.1.3. Supply voltage - Voltage blocks

Unless otherwise specified in the Data Sheet, the supply to the normal lighting system
shall have the following characteristics:

SERVICE CHARACTERISTICS

Supply From main sources (normal power

grid)

Rated voltage 400/230 V - Three-phase + neutral

Directly grounded
Neutral conditions
(TN-S system)
Rated frequency 50 Hz

Primary distribution Three-phase + neutral (4 wires & PE)

Distribution to the user:
For the lighting of general areas
(floodlight towers, road lights, Three-phase + neutral (4 wires &
etc.) PE)

For the lighting of process plant -

services areas Neutral phase ( 2 wires & PE)

The load on three-phase or three-phase with neutral circuits shall be uniformly distributed
among the three phases.

Similarly, the load on the single-phase circuits shall be fixed so as to enable as much as
possible a balanced load on the three-phase supply system.

The maximum permissible voltage drops in steady conditions shall be normally contained
within 3% for the furthest user (lamp), unless lower values are required for the good
running of the lamps during the start-up and the normal running phases.

The maximum permissible load for single distribution circuits shall be chosen according
to the type of circuit (three-phase, single-phase, AC or DC), the type of application
(general lighting, road lighting, plant lighting etc. or normal, emergency, safety light), and
in particular, taking into accounts permissible voltage drops, minimum cable sections in
relation to the intervention of protection devices, maximum sections allowed by users
terminal boards, consequences on operations and safety in case the circuit is out of
order.

Furthermore, a 10% reserve for future enlargements shall be provided for each circuit.

2.7.1.4. Distribution criteria

Normally and unless otherwise specified in the relevant job documentation, the supply to
the internal light users shall be directly derived from cabin boards (A.S.B. light sections or
light board) as follows:

INSTALLATION SERVICE DISTRIBUTION

Single circuits (three-phase or
General lighting (roads, yards, tanks
three-phase + neutral) for
area, etc.)
individual zones or areas to
light up.
Single circuits (three-phase +
Lighting of process plants and
On-shore neutral or phase + neutral) for
services
single areas to light up
Single circuits (three-phase +
neutral or single-phase
Lighting of industrial and/or civil
depending on the required
buildings
load) up to the building local
light board.
Single circuits (three-phase +
Lighting of process plants and
neutral or phase + neutral) for
services
single areas to light up
Single circuits (three-phase +
Off-shore Lighting of industrial and/or civil
neutral or single-phase
buildings
depending on the required
load) up to the building local
light board.

For lighting systems of the process plants and services and in off-shore applications the
power to the various lighting points shall be supplied alternatively from different circuits
(at least 2) so that in case of fault or planned cut-off of a circuit, part of the normal lighting
can still be kept in operation.

2.7.1.5. Control

The lighting systems of outdoor areas shall always be set for centralised manual and
automatic control by means of photoelectric cells or timers.

The use of local manual controls in order to activate part of the lighting system shall be
specified in the Data Sheet.

2.7.1.6. Lighting fittings power factor correction

All mercury- or sodium-vapour fluorescent lamps and the relevant reactors shall be
corrected at power factor 0.95 with condensers installed in each individual lighting body
which will contain also the relevant reactors and fittings.

2.7.1.7. Circuits protection

The lighting system shall be considered subject to short-circuit but not overload.
All starts of supply to normal lighting (400/230V) circuits shall be individually checked with
an omnipolar circuit switch with neutral sectioning, equipped with magnetic thermal
protection and earth differential.
Starts of supply to safety lighting (110 or 24 V) shall be equipped with magnetic thermal
omnipolar circuit breakers.
The residual earthing protection shall generally be rated as Id equal to
300 or 500 mA, unless otherwise preset by the plant characteristics, for the expedient
and sure recovery of earth fault within 5 sec.
Differential protections for earth fault shall always be provided on the circuits switches
which expand, even just partially, outside the area covered by the plant general earth
plate to which the supply system neutral is connected, and on the DC circuits switches.
The ratings of the circuit protection systems shall be selective with the available
protection devices provided downstream of the switch, included those provided in each
lighting fixture.
The concept of selectivity shall be applied also in respect of the protections installed
upstream of the circuit switch.
The ratings of the protection devices shall be fixed in accordance with minimum fault
currents in the furthest point, with single-phase short-circuit current (neutral phase fault)
and, furthermore, they shall guarantee the protection of the cable.
The switching power of the circuit switches shall be grater than or equal to the maximum
value of the fault current immediately below the switch itself.

2.7.1.8. Earth system

Protection against indirect contacts and atmospheric discharges for the lighting circuits
supplied by systems with grounded neutral shall be made as follows:

a) For lighting circuits that unfold all in the area relevant to the plant general earth plate,
to which the system neutral is connected, by means of a PE protection conductor.
For road lighting systems the PE conductor (acting as protection conductor and as
earthing) shall be of the bare type (minimum section: copper 50 mm², galvanised steel
120 mm²), and it shall be laid parallel to the supply cable (distance between them
about 15 cm).

b) For circuits that unfold even only partially externally to the area relevant to the plant
general earth plate and that are earthed through a plate separate and different to the
one which earths the neutral of the circuit supply system (for instance enclosures,
access roads etc.) an earth plate shall be provided which shall be constituted by an
adequate section of bare horizontal wire, laid as indicated in the above point a), or a
rod for each pole.

In alternative, there may be used light circuits with lamps and double insulation cables of
power supply without pole earthing requirement.

2.7.2. Emergency light

2.7.2.1. General criteria

Unless otherwise specified on the Data Sheet, an emergency light shall not be provided
for the general areas of on-shore plants (yards, tanks areas, roads, enclosures etc.).

In the remaining areas of on-shore plants (process-services areas, industrial buildings

etc.) and in off-shore installations an emergency lighting system shall be provided which
should guarantee a reduced level of lighting uniformly distributed and with the functions
specified at point 2.6.2.2.

For the purpose, the choice of lamps, to be installed in the plant, shall be made so that at
least one part shall light up again in short times in case of the failure of normal power
supply and start-up of emergency power supply blocks or of any other stand-by source.
These emergency lamps shall be uniformly distributed in the relevant areas, avoiding the
use of lamps which take long to switch on. In alternative, the market offers switching-on
devices for rapid lighting-up even for discharged lamps.
In particularly critical areas for operations or safety, the emergency light can be suitably
increased.

The emergency lamps, as well as normal lighting lamps, shall be connected to the normal
supplies of the plant or section of the plant, and in case normal supplies fail, to the
emergency sources (emergency diesel generators) or stand-by sources.

2.7.3. Safety light

2.7.3.1. General criteria

Unless otherwise specified in the Data Sheet, in on-shore installations the safety lighting
systems shall be limited to those zones of the plant which are normally manned and to
the buildings, for the scopes indicated at point 2.6.2.3.

In the process plants and services the lighting points shall be positioned in critical points
for the safety of people: they shall mark the escape routes allowing the personnel present
to find their way and leave the place.

Safety lighting shall also be provided in the proximity of communication points with control
rooms and/or aid centres (telephones, interphones etc.) and if required in areas where
safety manoeuvres have to be carried out.

In buildings, the safety lighting points shall be located according to similar criteria,
privileging check points, electric cabins, communication points and centralised aid points
where the safety light shall guarantee minimum operations.
In the main electric cabins, provision should be made for at least one rechargeable torch
connected with one 230 V outlet.

Rev. 1 July 2003
Exploration & Production Division Sheet 20 di 23

In off-shore installations, in addition to the compliance with the above mentioned

minimum requirements, the safety lighting systems shall also allow adequate use and the
safe movement of personnel within the whole installation.

For this reason, safety lighting points shall be provided along all passage routes with
lights that can guarantee the movement of personnel, along all escape routes
guaranteeing sufficient light, and also where specifically required by safety rules and
standards.

2.7.3.2. Power Supply-Distribution

The safety lighting systems shall be supplied as follows :

a) By centralised systems constituted by battery charger rectifying units and 110 V DC

battery (or 24 V DC when the 110 V DC supply is not available or when it is required
in the Data Sheet)

b) By local systems constituted by lighting fixtures with battery charger rectifiers,

annexed battery and automatic switching device in case of failed AC supply.
Such lamps shall be inserted into the emergency lighting circuits and shall be
provided with control systems in order to activate the battery supply to the lamps only
in case the emergency AC supply is out of order and there is still need for lighting.

In both cases the battery capacity shall be determined so as to guarantee the running of
the safety lights for the duration specified in the Data Sheet. Centralised systems shall be
provided with an automatic system for the exclusion of the battery supply at discharge
end, so as to avoid damages to the battery itself.

The above mentioned local systems shall be normally used with on-shore or offshore
installations for plants and services of moderate size.

In off-shore installations, safety lighting circuits shall unfold along separate routes from
those of normal and emergency lighting.
The lighting points supplied by centralised systems shall be alternatively shunted from
different circuits in order to guarantee at least 50% of light in case one circuit is out of
order.
The lamps to be used in centrally supplied systems shall be of the incandescent type with
25 - 40 W power.

All other characteristics of safety lighting systems, when possible, shall be the same as
those highlighted earlier for normal and emergency lights.

2.7.3.3. Control

Safety lighting systems shall always be set for centralised, manual and automatic control.
The manual control option shall be properly highlighted and signalled.

In the automatic option position, the safety light shall be controlled by a photoelectric cell
or centralised device able to operate only in case the normal or emergency lights are out
of order.

Distribution and control circuits shall be studied and designed in order to allow the
automatic zone switching especially for crowded rooms.
