Quiz 3

The document contains 3 lighting design problems and their solutions. Problem 1 calculates the number of 2000 lumen luminaires needed to light a 120 sqm room to 200 foot-candles. The number is 30 luminaires. Problem 2 calculates the number of 100W, 1615 lumen lamps needed to light a 360 sqm hall to 50 lux, which is 29 lamps. Problem 3 calculates the mean spherical candlepower needed for 8 lamps to light a 200 sqm room to 50 lux, which is 249 cp.

1. Luminaires of 2000 lumens output will be installed in a room. The desired illumination is
200 foot-candle. The coefficient of utilization is 0.45 and maintenance factor is 90 %.
Determine the number of luminaires needed if the size of the room is 120 m^2.

Solution:

(200𝑥120)
𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑠 = (0.45𝑥0.90𝑥2000)

𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑠 = 30 answer

2. A hall 30 m long and 12 m wide is to be illuminated and the illumination required is 50


meter-candles. Calculate the number of lamps required taking a depreciation factor of
1.3 and utilization coefficient of 0.5 given that the output of the lamp to be used is rated
100 W, 1615 lumens.

Solution:

2
𝐴 = 30𝑥12 = 360𝑚

360𝑥50
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠 = 0.5𝑥1615𝑥0.768

𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑠 = 29 answer

3. A room 20 m x 10 m is to be illuminated by eight lamps and the average illumination is


to be 50 lumens per square meter. If the utilization factor is 0.48 and depreciation factor
1.2, calculate the mean spherical power of the lamp.

Solution:

2
𝐴 = 20𝑥10 = 200𝑚
𝐼 = 200𝑥50 = 10000 𝑙𝑚
10000
𝑚𝑠𝑐𝑝 = 4π𝑥1.2𝑥0.48𝑥5.54
𝑚𝑠𝑐𝑝 = 249 𝑐𝑝 answer
