Chapter ( 2 ) Indoor & outdoor lighting

1- Introduction:

Electrical power now a day plays a great part in life of towns and cities,
and progress of countries. Hence a good distribution of electrical power is
an important factor for development. In this report we present the basis of
indoor lighting design, which include the illumination calculations.

1.1-Lighting:
Light is the prime factor in the human life as all activities of human depend
upon the light. Where there is no natural light, a source of artificial light was
needed. Light may be produced by passing electric currents through
filaments as in the incandescent lamps, through arcs between carbon or
metal rods, or through suitable gases as in neon and other gas tubes. In some
forms of lamps the light is due to fluorescence excited by radiation arising
from the passage of electricity through mercury vapor.

1.2-Nature of Light:

Various forms of incandescent bodies are the sources of light and the light
emitted by such bodies depend upon its temperature. Energy is radiated into the
medium by a body which is hotter than the medium surrounding it, in the form
of electromagnetic waves of various wavelengths. The velocity of propagation
of radiant energy is approximately 3*108 m/sec. The properties and Behavior of
the radiant energy depends on the wavelength.

In this chapter

We will plan the distribution system in a big building (Hotel). And the various
types of loads in the Hotel like lighting, normal sockets (N.S), power sockets
(P.S) are estimated according to the standard forms.

Our project is a big Commercial building consists of:

1- Big mole more than 400 shops.

2- Hotel of 22 floor
3- Cinema
4- Festival hole
5- Fun fair
6- Big market

2-Types of loads:

2.1- Lighting.
2.2- Emergency lighting.
2.3- Normal sockets.
2.4- Power sockets.
2.5- Emergency Power sockets.
2.6- HVAC load.

3- Definitions of terms used in illumination:

 Lamp:
Energy conversion device that converts electrical energy into light.

 light:
It is defined as the radiant energy from a hot body, which produces the
visual sensation upon the human eye.

 Luminous flux:(lumen):
It is the energy in the form of light wave radiated per second from a
luminous body. Its symbol is (F) and is measured in lumens.

 Lumen:
It is the luminous flux per unit solid angle from a source of candlepower

Lumen = candle power * solid angle

71
Chapter ( 2 ) Indoor & outdoor lighting

 Illumination:
When the light falls on any surface, the phenomenon is called is
called the illumination. It is defined as the number of lumens, falling
on the surface per Unit area. It is represented by symbol E and its
unit in (lumens /m2) or (Lux)

 Lux:
It is defined as the illumination of the inside of a sphere of radius 1 m
at the center of which there is a source of (1) candlepower.

 Luminous intensity (candela):

It is the luminous flux emitted by the source of light per solid angle
measured in the direction, which the intensity is required.

 Luminous Efficacy(η):
It is defined as the ratio of the luminous flux to the power. It is
expressed in lumen per watt

 Inverse square law:

Formula stating that illumination at a point on a surface varies directly
with the intensity of a point source, and inversely as the square of the
distance between the source and the point; it illustrates how the same
quantity of light flux is distributed over a greater area as the distance
from the source to the surface is increased.

 Mounting height(h):
Distance from the bottom of the fixture to either the floor or work plane,
depending on usage.

h H

71
 Chapter ( 2 ) Indoor & outdoor lighting

 Space high ratio:

It is defined as the ratio of horizontal distance between adjacent
lamps and bright of their mountains.

4-Factors affecting the illumination and wattage of a certain lamp:

 Utilization factor. (U.F): (0.2  0.6)

It is the ratio of the lumen actually received to the total Lumens emitted
by the source, it depends on:
 Room dimensions.
 Color of the walls.
 Type of lighting scheme.

 Maintenance factor (M.F).

It is the ratio between illuminations under normal working
conditions to the illumination when every thing is clean. It depends
on the rate of cleaning.
M.F. = 0.8 for houses.
= 0.3 for streets.
= 0.6 0.7 for schools and shopping centers.

5-Types of lighting schemes:

The interior lighting schemes may be classified as :

5.1-Direct lighting
5.2-Semi-direct lighting.
5.3-Semi indirect lighting.
5.4-Indirect lighting.
5.5-General lighting.

02
 Chapter ( 2 ) Indoor & outdoor lighting

 Direct lighting:
More than 90 % of the total light flux is made to fall directly on the
working plane. It is mainly used for industrial and outdoor lighting.

 Semi direct:
60-90 % of the total light flux is made to full down words directly

 General diffusing:
The total light flux thrown upward =total light flux falls downwards

 Semi indirect:
60-90 % of total light flux is thrown upward to the ceiling and the rest
reaches the working plane directly .It is mainly used for indoor light
decoration purpose.

 Indirect lighting:
More than 90% of the total light flux is thrown upwards to the ceiling, it
is used for decoration purpose in cinemas, theaters and hotels and
workshops.

6-Designing the lighting system:

First, the engineer must fully understand the demands of the application
and conditions in the space that will affect the operation of the lighting
system:

 Tasks to be performed in the space.

 Desired light levels based on the tasks performed in the space.
 Room size and dimensions.
 Layout of furniture and obstructions such as partitions.
 Special concerns such as safety and security.
 Room and object surface colors and reflectance.
 Hours of operation.
 Cleanliness of the area during operation availability of daylight.

Incandescent or filament lamps

Light when an electric current is passed through a fine metallic wire, heat is
produced and the temperature of wire increases due to heating, as well as light
energy. The higher the temperature of the wire is, the higher is the amount of
light energy radiated. The incandescent or filament type lamp consists of glass
globe completely evacuated and a fine wire known as filament within it. The
glass globe is evacuated to prevent oxidization of the filament and also to
prevent the temperature being lowered by radiation.

Fluorescent Lamps
These lamps rely on the gaseous discharge method.
 Low surface brightness compared to point sources.
 More efficacious compared to incandescent.
 Ambient temperatures and convection currents can affect light output and
life.

 Importance of street lighting:

 Streetlights are needed by everyone. They illuminate our roads and

pathways in order to make them safer for us to use, giving us a sense of
security.
 Street lighting should permit the road users to move about with the
greatest possible safety and comfort at night. Any object which may
be dangerous should be seen and recognized clearly in time.
