  3. Light Quantity • Luminous flux • Quantity of visible light output, lumens, lm. • Illuminance • Luminous flux divided by area on which it is incident. • 1 footcandle = 1 lm/ft2 • Recommended illuminance increases as size and contrast of visual task decrease.

  4. Light Quality • Our eyes evolved to see in natural sunlight; thus, we distinguish colors best in sunlight. • Color Rendering Index (CRI) describes the effect of a light source on the color appearance of an object.

  5. HPS and HBF Lights (Same Facility with Same Camera) High Pressure Sodium High Bay Fluorescent Lights CRI = 22 CRI = 85

  6. Glare • Glare is very high contrast between lighting levels • Avoid glare with parabolic luminairs, light shelves, and reflective blinds.

  7. Energy Efficiency Lighting efficiency = (lm/W)light x (CU)fixture/room Efficient lighting: • High lm/W • High CU

  8. Characteristics of Superior Lighting • Correct Quantity • High Quality • Minimum Glare • Energy efficiency Superior Lighting

  27. Replace Incandescent with Compact Fluorescent Lamps CF lamps • Use 75% less energy • Last 8-10 times longer • Result in less mercury emissions • Known • 100 100-W I lamps, life = 1,000 hours, cost = $1, operating 6,000 h/yr • Action • Replace with 23-W CF lamps, life = 10,000 hours, cost = $5 • Savings • 100 lamps x (.100 - .023) kW/lamp x 6,000 h/yr = 46,200 kWh/yr • 46,200 kWh/yr x $0.10 /kWh = $4,620 /yr • 100 lamps x 6,000 h/yr x ($1/1,000– $5/10,000) (h-lamp)-1 = $300 /yr • $4,620 /yr + $300 /yr = $4,920 /yr

  28. Replace T12 Lamps & Electro-magnetic Ballastswith T8 Lamps & Electronic Ballasts T8 XP lamps with LBF electronic ballasts: • Use 42% less energy and put same amount of light on workplane • Improve CRI and eliminate flicker • Known • 100 fixtures with four 34-W T12 lamps and electro-magnetic ballasts operating 6,000 h/yr • Action • Replace with four 28-W XP T8 lamps and LBF electronic ballasts • Savings • 100 fix x (.144 - .084) kW/fix x 6,000 h/yr = 36,000 kWh/yr • 36,000 kWh/yr x $0.10 /kWh = $3,600 /yr

  29. Replace Metal Halide with High Bay Fluorescent Lights High bay fluorescent (HBF) lights: • Reduce energy use by 50% or more • Improve CRI • Reduce maintenance costs • Stabilize light level • Improve light distribution • Can be turned on/off as needed, w/ occupancy or w/photocells

  30. Replace Metal Halide with High Bay Induction Lights • HBI uses 50% less energy than MH to produce same illuminance • HBI has instant restrike compared to 15-minute for MH • HBI CRI = 0.90 compared to CRI = 0.65 for MH • HBI lasts 100,000 hours compared to 20,000 hours for MH • HBI has reduced lumen degradation compared to MH (90% compared to 70% halfway through rated life) • HBI light output is insensitive to temperature

  31. Emerging Lighting Technologies: LEDs • Light emitting diodes (LEDs) currently used in: • Computer monitors and televisions • Exit signs, flashlights, etc. • Colored LEDs much more efficient than incandescent with colored filters. • California has replaced thousands of 150-W incandescent light bulbs that last about 1 year in traffic lights with red, yellow and green LEDs that consume about 15 W and last about 5 years. • White LED efficiency currently between incandescent and T8 fluorescent lights, but: • Efficiency is increasing quickly, theoretical efficiency = 100% • Distribution efficiency ~ 100% • LEDs last about 5 times as long as incandescent lights. • LEDs are next lighting revolution

  32. Quantifying Savings • Calculate number of proposed lights needed to deliver required footcandles. • Calculate annual energy cost savings from replacing the current lights. • Calculate annual relamping cost savings, including labor and material costs. • Calculate total annual cost savings including energy and relampingsavings. • Calculate the one-time implementation cost of replacing the current lights. • Calculate simple payback of the investment.

  33. Power Input Determined by Ballast – Not Lamp • Wattage on lamp is nominal value • Power input determined by ballast power • Example: 51-W Fluor F32T8 Low Output Electronic Ballast powering 2 x 32 W lamps. • Power input including ballast = 51 W (not 2 x 32 W = 64 W) • Example: 465-W MH ballast powering a 400-W MW lamp • Power input including ballast = 465 W (not 1 x 400 W = 400 W)

  34. Luminosity Determined by Lamp and Ballast • Mean output of lamp is nominal value • Light output = nominal lm/lamp x ballast factor • Ballast factor for fluourescents:high output ~1.2; normal output ~0.87, low output ~0.75 • Ballast factor for HIDs (MH, HPS)= 1.0 • Example: Fluor F32T8 Low Output Electronic Ballast powering 2 x 32 W lamps. • Light output = 2 x 2,710 lm x 0.75 = 4,065 lm • Example: MH 400-W lamp with nominal output 23,500 lm • Light output = 1 x 23,500 lm x 1.0 = 4,065 lm

  35. Coefficient of Utilization • CU is fraction light emitted by lamps delivered to workplane • CU is function of RCR, reflectance of walls, rw, and reflectance of ceiling, rc, and the fixture • RCR = 5 x h x (w + l) / (w x l) • Reflectance:

  36. Determine Required Number of Lights Illuminanceon a workplane, Ew (fc) is Ew (fc) = [LPF(lm/fix) x N(fix)] x CU / Aw(ft2) Thus, N = (Ew x Aw) / (CU x LPF)

  37. Lamp Replacement Costs The number of lamps that must be replaced each year, Nr, can be calculated as: Nr = Num lamps x annual operating hours / lamp lifetime Example: Calculate lamp replacement cost for 320 400-W MH fixtures if lights operate 8,000 hours per year. The cost of a 400-W MH lamp is about $23.The hourly wage for a skilled-trade electrician is $65 per hour, and it takes 30 minutes to replace a lamp. Nr = 320 lamps x 8,000 hours/year / 20,000 hours = 128 lamps/year Cost = 128 lamps/year x ($23 /lamp + (30/60 hours/lamp x $65 /hour)) Cost = $7,104 /year

  38. Natural Lighting Design Illuminanceon a workplane, Ew (fc) is Ew= (Eslx Asl) x tskylightx twellx CUroom / Aw Where, Esl can be calculated from: Esl= Ih (W/ft2) x 110 lm/W (luminous intensity of sunlight)

  39. Natural Lighting Design LightSim Lighting Simulation Software: • Uses TMY2, TMY3 or EPW weather data • Simulates illuminanceon a workplane, Ew (fc) • Calculates number of hours and fraction of time that natural lighting exceeds target illuminance.
