returns due to reflection. The ratio of reflected flux Dark red 10-20

The other amount is absorbed and transmitted. Pale brown 30-40
There are four kinds of reflections: Specular, Pale red 30-50
Pale blue 40-55
Composed, Diffused, and Mixed
Pink 45-55
Pale green 45-65
Cream, pale light 50-75

Specular reflection
This kind of reflection is based on two fundamental
laws:
1. The incident, reflected ray and the normal to the
surface at the point of incidence lie in the same
plane
2. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection
are equal Specular reflection

Composed reflection
This kind of reflection is different from the specular
reflection as there is no mirror image of the incident
light but the maximum angle of reflected intensity
and the angle of incidence are the same
Composed reflection

Diffused reflection
This kind of reflection takes place when the incident
ray on a surface is reflected in all directions. The
normal to the surface being the most intense one

Diffused reflection
Mixed reflection
This kind of reflection is intermediate between the
specular and diffused reflection, in which some of
the incident beam is reflected and some is diffused
Mixed reflection

Diffused transmission
It means that incident beam spreads through the

object situated behind them appear blurred
Diffused transmission

Mixed transmission
This is a combination between spread and diffused

blurred, but their position is relative

Mixed transmission
Absorption

Absorption
The radiant energy is converted into a different
form of energy mainly in the form of heat. This
phenomenon is a characteristic of all the surfaces
which are not fully reflective and the materials which
are not totally transparent. The ratio between
absorbed flux and incident flux is called absorptance

What seems evident is that it would be convenient to determine the most appropriate light tone.
And here it is useful to refer to kruithof’s rule. This rule states that the greater the level of illumination,

the greater the colour temperature of the lamp.

We ought to bear in mind that in cold countries a warmer tone is required, whereas in hot countries 2000 2500 3000 4000 5000 10000

Lumen method
Example
Find the required number of luminaire suitable to this room ?

Room length(L) =6m

Room width(W) =4m
Room height(H) =3m
Working plane at = 0.85 M
Room purpose = office (VDU)
Room reflections ceiling / wall / floor = 70/50/30
Type of ceiling = false ceiling grid 600 mm (Armestrong)

Solution
• Choose The suitable type for VDU 5LG66014AD1 (EGYLUX CATALOG)
• Calculate Room Index
Ri = L*W
Hm (L+W)
Where Hm = room height - working plane height
Hm=3.0-0.85=2.15
• So ~ Ri= 6.0*4.0
2.15 * (6.0+4.0)
Ri = 1.116 from the utilization factor table at Ri = 1.116 Uf = 0.514
• The required illuminance for this purpose E = 500 LUX ( DIN 5035 )
• Number of luminaire E*A
N =
n*Φ*Uf*Mf
• Where E =required illuminance .
A = room area
n = number of lamps in each luminaire
Φ = lamp luminous flux
Uf= utilization factor
Mf= maintenance factor assume it’s =0.8 in this case
N= 500 * ( 6*4 )
4* 1050*0.514*0.8
N = 6.95
Let N = 8

As E= n*Φ*Uf*Mf*N
A
E= 4*1050*0.514*0.8*8
4*6

E = 575.7 Lux acceptable

So we choose N= 8 luminaires

Road Lighting calculation example

Find the required number of luminaires suitable to this road ?
Public road with a high level of through traffics
Road length ( L ) = 1000 m
Road width ( b ) = 10 m
Pole position ( y1 ) = 0.5 m
Road type ( IEC ) = C2

Solution
h1
• From (table A) we find that it is road category ( B )
• From (table B) Average level of luminance = 2 cd/m2 y1

• Total uniformity = 0.4

• Longitudinal uniformity = 0.7
• From (table C) for road type C2 with av. Luminance 2 cd/m2
the av. Illuminance = 28 Lux
• The most suitable type of lamp for this road is (High pressure
sodium) b

• And for this study (250 watt, clear tube, 27000 Lm) is the most
suitable
• Use type EGST11NA2S1 (EGYLUX CATALOGUE)
• Let maintenance factor = 0.7
• From (table D) for 27000 Lm pole height (h1) = 10 m
• As E = Mf * Uf *Φ
Road width * inter distance

So Inter distance = 0.7 * 0.33 *27000

28 * 10
= 22.3 m
Assume it’s = 22 m
Number of luminaries N = (L / inter distance) + 1
N = (1000 / 22) +1 = 46 luminaire

This is an approximate calculation
