    Interior Lighting

    The document discusses interior lighting for large areas and supplementary lighting for specific tasks. It recommends using higher wattage lamps in outer rows to compensate for variations in natural light. For general lighting, illumination levels are independent of mounting height in large areas. Supplementary lighting is needed for extremely difficult visual tasks and should provide 10x the illumination of general lighting. Small projectors and large diffuse sources are effective supplementary lighting options. Portable lighting units are also useful in some industrial settings.

    INTERIOR LIGHTING 10-99

    supplemented by natural light from Avindows. The latter cannot be de-


    pended upon at all times. It is possible to compensate for the daily and
    seasonal variations in natural illumination by using the third lamp in out-
    side end rows and in the two end reflectors of the rows between. In large
    installations this can be accomplished by having all the luminaires in out-
    side bays fitted with a third lamp. In incandescent systems, lamps of
    higher wattage than in the center of the room should be used in
    the outer bays.
    Mounting height. For practical purposes the average illumination level
    produced by general-lighting installations of spread distribution lumi-
    naires in large areas (room index > 5)
    is independent of luminaire mounting
    height. In small areas the average varies in proportion to the coefficient
    of utilization, not inversely with the square of the distance from luminaires
    to illuminated plane. Spacing between luminaires usually should not
    greatly exceed their mounting height.
    Supplementary Lighting in Industry
    Extremely difficult seeing tasks require illumination levels which are
    not always easily or economically obtained by standard general-lighting
    methods. To solve such problems supplementary luminaires often are
    used to provide high levels for small or restricted areas. Also, they are
    used to provide a certain brightness or color, or to permit special aiming or
    positioning of light sources to avoid shadows caused by workmen or ma-
    chinery. A reasonably comfortable interior usually results when the gen-
    eral-illumination level is at least one-tenth that of the supplementary
    level. Employees using their eyes for critical visual tasks glance away from
    their work at frequent intervals for momentary relaxation. If the bright-
    ness contrast between task and surround is too great, instead of being
    rested, the eyes are fatigued.
    Supplementary luminaires. Two types of supplementary equipment will
    take care of almost all requirements:
    (1)
    Small, concentrating projectors
    augment the general lighting on a seeing task and provide directional
    quality.
    (2)
    Large-area, low-brightness diffuse sources may provide
    either general lighting for small areas or "plus" lighting for a more difficult
    seeing task such as inspection. (See Fig. 10-70.) All supplementary
    luminaires and projector lamps should be shielded, louvered, or mounted
    so as to minimize the possibility of glare. Where adjustable fluorescent
    luminaires are used, they should be of the two-lamp type to minimize
    stroboscopic effects.
    Portable luminaires. Portable equipment can be used to good advantage
    in airplane hangars and garages and wherever internal surfaces must be
    viewed. A typical unit consists of five angle-reflector luminaires mounted
    on a portable rack with outlets for electrical tools. Two-hundred-watt,
    inside-frosted incandescent lamps are recommended. A "trouble light"
    consisting of 50- or 100-watt rough-service lamps in a guarded socket
    attached to an extension cord often is provided for internal inspection.
    Similar devices have been developed for fluorescent lamps.
