Lighting Terms • Lumen (l) – Quantity of light emitted from a lamp • Footcandle (fc) – Measurement of light reaching a surface • Efficacy • Electrical “efficiency” of a light source • Lumens output per watts input (lpw) • Color rendering index (CRI) – Ability of a lamp to depict colors accurately • Color temperature – Coolness or warmness of a light source (K) • Ballast factor (BF) – Actual lamp lumens vs. lumens from standard reference ballast Accredited Texas Energy Manager
Lamp Types • Incandescent • Very low efficacies • Inexpensive • Easily dimmable • Types • A, R, & PAR lamps • Hydrogen • Fluorescent • Linear & compact • Good efficacies • Long lamp life • Special dimming ballast • High intensity discharge • High light output • Long lamp life • Mercury vapor • Metal halide • Good efficacy • Whiter light • High pressure sodium • High efficacy • Yellow tinted light • Poor color rendering Accredited Texas Energy Manager
