Calculate No of Lighting Fixtures / Lumen for Indoor Lighting

Calculation:
Calculate Total Wattage of Fixtures:
 Total Wattage of Fixtures= No of Lamps X each Lamp’s Watt.
 Total Wattage of Fixtures=2×32=64Watt.
Calculate Lumen per Fixtures:
 Lumen per Fixtures = Lumen Efficiency(Lumen per Watt) x each Fixture’s Watt
 Lumen per Fixtures= 85 x 64 = 5440Lumen
Calculate No’s of Fixtures:
 Required No of Fixtures = Required Lux x Room Area / MFxUFx Lumen per Fixture
 Required No of Fixtures =(250x20x10) / (0.63×0.69×5440)
 Required No of Fixtures =21 No’s
Calculate Minimum Spacing Between each Fixture:
 The ceiling to desk height is 2 meters and Space height Ratio is 1.25 so
 Maximum spacing between Fixtures =2×1.25=2.25meter.
Calculate No of Row Fixture’s Row Required along with width of Room:
 Number of Row required = width of Room / Max. Spacing= 10/2.25
 Number of Row required=4.
Calculate No of Fixture’s required in each Row:
 Number of Fixture Required in each Row = Total Fixtures / No of Row = 21/4
 Number of Fixture Required in each Row = 5 No’s:
Calculate Axial Spacing between each Fixture:
 Axial Spacing between Fixtures = Length of Room / Number of Fixture in each Row
 Axial Spacing between Fixtures =20 / 5 = 4 Meter
Calculate Transverse Spacing between each Fixture:
 Transverse Spacing between Fixtures = width of Room / Number of Fixture’s row
 Transverse Spacing between Fixtures = 10 / 4 = 2.5 Meter.
 Conclusion:
 No of Row for Lighting Fixture’s= 4 No
 No of Lighting Fixtures in each Row= 5 No
 Axial Spacing between Fixtures= 4.0 Meter
 Transverse Spacing between Fixtures= 2.5 Meter
 Required No of Fixtures =21 No’s

Required No of Fixtures =21 No’s

Can u please refer me the book where i can completely know about lighting design both indoor and outdoor, kindly

Dear Sir
I need one clarification from you …..Here i am giving Factory size in mt(35M width *110Mtr Length)and Our required
lux level (300Lux).light requirements for 1*400W metal halide fitting.Our buliding ht is 14.0Mtr.Cealing type made by
Sheet. How many fittings required.Then how to calculate detailed formula required sir.

Assuming Metal Halide Lumens/watt = 80 Lumens/watt.

Calculate Lumen per Fixtures:
Lumen per Fixtures = Lumen Efficiency(Lumen per Watt) x each Fixture’s Watt
Lumens for 1*400 W MH fitting = 400 * 80 = 32000 Lumens.

Calculate No’s of Fixtures:

Required No of Fixtures = Required Lux x Room Area / MFxUFx Lumen per Fixture
Required No of Fixtures =(35x110x300) / (32000)
Required No of Fixtures =36 No’s
