Sample Calculation 4. Given the following data:

Width = 15 m
Length = 100 m
Ceiling height = 3.5 m
Desired Illumination = 400 lux
Type of Luminaire = 200mf Downlight w/ 26W TC-D Lamp
Luminaire : 8" Downlight with 70W Metal Halide Lamp
Lamp Flux : 6600 lumens (from manufacturer’s data) from Table
(Figure 9-28) of IESNA handbook CU of metal halide downlight #10
@ 70/50/20 reflectance & RCR of 1.34

Compute for the Light Loss Factor (LLF) Compute for the the total initial lamp lumens (TILL)

LLF = Ballast factor x LLD x LDD x RSDD

Ballast factor = 0.95
LLD of metal halide lamp = 0.85
LDD = 0.96
RSDDF = 0.976
LLF = 0.95 x 0.85 x 0.96 x 0.976
LLF = 0.76

Compute for the number of luminaires Compute for the number of luminaires/row
Spacing Criterion = 1.2, does not apply since total of 179
luminaires cannot be placed on the given area.
Assuming spacing criterion = 0.9
Spacing distance between luminaries = MH x SC
Spacing (Longitudinal) = 3.5 m x 0.9 = 3.15
Number of luminaires/column = 100/3.15 = 31 luminaires
Total length of column = 31 x 3.15 = 97.65 m
Space at end of column = (100-97.65)/2 = 1.175 m
Total luminaires at each row = 179/31 = 5.7 ~ 6 luminaires
