F x N x Lm x LF x CU Area E = Calculating Lighting • E = Required Footcandles • F = Total Number of Fixtures • N = Lamps per Fixture • Lm = Lumens per Lamp • LF = Loss Factors • CU = Coefficient of Utilization • Area = Area of Space Critical factors
Recoverable • Light that can be recovered through lamp changes or properly planned maintenance. • LLD: Lamp Lumen Depreciation • LDD: Luminaire Dirt Depreciation • LBO: Luminaire Burn-Out factor • Unrecoverable • Factors that are inherent to the design of the fixture or the characteristics of the space. • LAT: Luminaire Ambient Temperature • LSD: Luminaire Surface Depreciation • IESNA Lighting Handbook, 9th Edition, pg 9-17 • RP-8-00 - Annex A
Calculation tools Photometry Geometry Lighting Calculation
Uniformity major benefit • IESNA recommended practice encourages better uniformity (lower Max-to-Min) since it is easier for the eye to adapt • Limited research data available; for example … How much better is 2:1 versus 8:1 in a parking lot? • Generally accepted that 2X luminance variation is perception threshold. • Optimized LED design is ~2:1 luminance uniformity for main parking driven by illuminance uniformity
High Pressure Sodium • System Description • Standard lamp and socket • Electronic ballast • Benefits • Established lamp technology • Long life • Step dimming • Prevents “end of lamp life” syndrome that can damage the fixture • Remote monitoring and troubleshooting • Asset management • Retrofit into existing opticals • Issues • Poor color rendering • N/A in 480V • Lamp warranties • Controls backhaul expense
Metal Halide • System Description • Ceramic arc tube lamp • Electronic ballast • Special socket • Benefits • Extended lamp life • White light and higher CRI • Variable or step dimming • Higher source efficacy and lumen maintenance • Faster hot restrike • Retrofit into existing opticals • Meets EISA legislation • Issues • New technology • Manufacturers dependent • Limited wattage
Induction Technology • System Description • Matched lamp, socket and ballast • Benefits • Instant on • White light and similar CRI • Extended lamp life/ lower maintenance costs • Recent advancements provide variable or step dimming • Good source efficacy and lumen maintenance • Issues • Diminished optical control • Limited wattage • Thermal management • High initial costs

The Technology… High Brightness (HB) LED Light Source Benefits • Efficiency • Optical advantage • Environmentally friendly • Life and TCO • Lumen Maintenance • Durable, Compact • Color, Color Changing • Instant on • Variable Dimming • Operates well in cold temperatures • Improved photometrics
LED Features & Benefits • LED Features: • Multiple Light Source Emitter • Directional Light Source vs. 360 deg. Lamp • Individually Controllable • LED Benefit: • Color Consistency – Unit To Unit • Greater Optical Control – Light where desired • Improved Fixture Efficiency – Fewer Fixtures / Lower Watts • Improved Control Of Spill Light – Less Light Pollution / Light Trespass Coefficient of Utilization Sanity check: 250W MH Lamp = 22000 PS lumens initial (13700 mean) = 22000/250 = 88 LPW X luminaire efficiency of 77% = (22000X.77)/250 = 16940 or 68 overall LPW X coefficient of utilization of 35% = (22000X.35)/250 = 7700 or 30 delivered LPW
