LUMEN METHOD • Utilization factor-- Ratio of flux received by reference plane to total rated lamp flux in the installation. • Utilization factor of a lighting installation depends only on polar curve of the luminaire, the room geometry (represented by room index) and reflectances of the ceiling, wall and floor. ELEC 3105
Maintenance factor – -- LSF -- LLMF -- LMF -- RSMF ELEC 3105
LUMEN METHOD • E= N x n x ø x UF x MF A • where MF = LLMF x LSF x LMF x RSMF • E =Maintained illuminance, lux • A = Area, m2 • Ø = Initial lamp flux, lumen ELEC 3105
