Example 2

It is proposed to illuminate a class room of dimensions 6 x 8 x 2.85 m


to an illuminance (E) of 400 lx at the bench level. The specification calls
for luminaires having one 1050 mm 40 W fluorescent natural tube with
an initial output of 3200 lumens with white metal base and prismatic
plastic diffuser (its UF is given in Table -2) . Determine the number of
luminaires required for this installation when the MF is 0.7, respectively.
The reflection coefficients are: (C= 0.70, W= 0.3, F=0.2)

Solution

From the room dimension we can calculate the room index ( k )


assuming the working table height is 0.85 m. Hence,

hk = 2.85-0.85 = 2m

a.b
Room Index (k ) 
hk (a  b)
