Lecture-5 Unit-2 Codes for Lighting Terminologies • Before getting into basis of ‘LIGHT SOURCE’ let’s have a brief on its Terminology..
• What people call a bulb is actually a LAMP.
• Each light source whether Flourescent, Gas discharge, LED
or Incandescent should ideally be called a lamp. Terminologies • Luminaire:
It is defined as complete electric light unit Light Output Ratio
• The light within a luminaire is pointed in the
desired directions by means of reflection and transmission. These processes, however, inevitably leads to optical losses. They reduce the luminous flux emitted by the luminaire when compared to the luminous flux freely emitted by the light sources installed in it.
• Light Output Ratio (LOR) is the percentage of
light emitted from the light source that makes it out of the luminaire. Recommended level of ILLUMINATION
. Energy Conservation in Lighting
. Window Wall Ratio Tubular Daylighting devices
• Tubular daylight devices are another type of
top lighting device. Tubular Daylighting devices • These devices employ a highly reflective film on the interior of a tube to channel light from a lens at the roof, to a lens at the ceiling plane. Tubular Daylighting devices • Tubular daylight devices tend to be much smaller than a typical skylight, yet still deliver sufficient daylight for the purpose of dimming the electric lighting. Energy Efficient Lighting • Other energy efficient lighting includes: • LED Lighting: LED bulbs consume significantly less electricity compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice.
LED lights also have a longer
lifespan, reducing the frequency of replacements and minimizing waste. Energy Efficient Lighting • Smart Lighting Systems o Smart lighting systems combine energy efficiency with convenience and control. These systems incorporate features like motion sensors, dimmers, and remote control capabilities. o With smart lighting, homeowners can adjust brightness levels, set timers, and even control lighting remotely through smartphone apps. o This level of control not only enhances energy efficiency but also allows homeowners to create customized lighting experiences tailored to their needs. Solar-Powered Lighting • Solar-powered lighting is an excellent option for outdoor spaces and areas with ample sunlight. • These lighting systems harness the power of the sun through solar panels and store energy in rechargeable batteries. • Solar-powered lights automatically switch on at dusk and provide illumination throughout the night, reducing reliance on conventional electricity.
