Step 8: Select a practical lay out for the luminaire.
Spacing Criterion, SC = spacing distance/mounting height
As per Figure 9-28 of IESNA Handbook, for 8" open reflector
using 2-26 CFL, SC = 1.5
Spacing distance = 1.5 x 3.5 m = 5.25 m
For this distance, 343 luminaires required to achieve 400 lux
illumination cannot be placed for the given area.
Step 9: Calculate Luminaire Spacing
Number of luminaires per row = (15m-5.25m)/5.25 = ~ 2
Number of luminaires per column = 343/2 = 172 luminaires x 5.25
m (spacing) = 903 m which exceeded 150 m.
Spacing criterion with this case is not applicable
Assuming spacing at end rows = 1 m
Number of luminaires/row = 15-2(1)/2 = 6.5 ~ 7 luminaires/row
Transverse spacing = 15-2(l)/6= 2.17 m

Step 10: Draw plan of the room and indicate the locations of
Total length at each row = 6 x 2.17 m = 13 m luminaries:
Space at end rows = 15-13/2 = 1 m
Number of luminaires/column = 343/7 = 49 luminaires/column
Longitudinal spacing = 100-2(1)/48 = 2.04 m
Total length at each column = 48 x 2.04 m = 98 m
Space at end rows = 100m-98m/2 = 1 m
Total luminaires = 7 x 49 = 343 luminaires

Step 11: Calculate the actual minimum maintained lighting level: Step 12: Calculate the power density (UPD) or connected load.
From manufacturers data, the power consumption of 2 x 26W TC-D
lamp using conventional ballast = 90watts, in using electronic ballast
E = 343/343 x 400 lux = 400 lux (within the target value) = 70 watts
