1. EE 445 Course Lighting System Design Done By: Meshabbab Ali Done for: Dr. Alaa Hussein

2. Lighting System Design
Is it Random Process?

3. Some Unique Terms in Lighting
LUMEN :
The lumen is the time rate flow of light
10 lumens lumens lumens

4. 2. LUMINOUS INTENSITY (candlepower ):
Light emitted in a particular direction.

5. 3. ILLUMINANCE (level of illumination ):
Calculated as the number of lumens (lm) per unit area.
The units : A. footcandles (fc) = lm/ft2
B. lux (lx) = lm/m2

6. LIGHTING DESIGN PROCEDURE
A. Analyzing The Space
B. Source Selection
C. lumanaire selection
D. lighting calculation method

7. A. Analyzing The Space
Is the area to be used for more than one purpose?

8. B. Source Selection
High intensity discharge (HID) lamps[ industrial lighting].
Fluorescent lamps are used for [offices\Houses\shops…].
Incandescent lamps [bedrooms\toilets ].

9. C. Lumanaire Selection. ENVIRONMENTS: - Hazardous Locations.
- High or Low Temperatures
HEIGHT
Some luminaries are designed for use heights that is below 7.6 meters.

10. D. Lighting Calculation Method
E = (N * LL * CU * LLF)/(area)
Where E = maintained level of illumination
N = number of luminaire
Area = area of the space to be lighted
LL = initial rated lamp lumens
CU = coefficient of utilization
LLF = light loss factor

11. N = (E * Area) / (LL *LLF*CU)

12. Light loss factors (LLF)
Temperature, voltage and ballast Performance.
Accumulation of dirt on interior surfaces.
Lamp lumen depreciation.
Lumanaire Dirt depreciation.

13. Selecting Lamp Lumen (LL)
ILL = 2 * maintained illumination level (E) *(hrc)2

14. Coefficient of Utilization (CU)
Room Cavity Ratio (RCR)
Reflectances
