(Illumination Calculations)

1. A factory space of 33 m × 13 m is to be illuminated with an average illumination of 72 lm/m2

by 200 W lamps. The coefficient of utilization is 0.4 and the depreciation factor is 1.4.
Calculate the number of lamps required. The lumen output of a 200-W lamp is 2,730 lm.

2. A drawing hall 30 m × 15 m with a ceiling height of 5 m is to be provided with an

illumination of 120 lux. Taking the coefficient of utilization of 0.5, depreciation factor of
1.4, determine the No. Of fluorescent tubes required and their spacing, mounting height and
total wattage. Take luminous efficiency of fluorescent tube as 40 lm/W for 80-W tube.

3. A room 40 m × 15 m is to be illuminated by 1.5 m 80-W fluorescent tubes mounted 3.5 m

above the working plane on which an average illumination of 180 lm/m2 is required. Using
maintenance factor of 0.8 and the utilization factor of 0.5, design and sketch a suitable layout.
The 80-W fluorescent tube has an output of 4,500 lm.

4. A hall is to be provided with a lighting installation. The hall is 30 m × 20 m × 8 m (high).

The mounting height is 5 m and the required level of illumination is 110 lux. Using metal
filament lamps, estimate the size and number of single lamp luminaries and draw their
spacing layout. Assume depreciation factor = 0.8, utilization coefficient = 0.6 and
space/height ratio = 1.
Watt : 200 300 500
Lumen/watt : 10 12 12.3

5. It is required to provide an illumination of 100 lux in a factory hall 30 m × 12 m. Assume

that the depreciation factor is 0.8, the coefficient of utilization 0.4 and the efficiency of
proposed lamps 14 lm/W. Calculate the number of lamps and their disposition.

6. A workshop 100 m × 50 m is to be illuminated with intensity of illumination being 50 lux.

Design a suitable scheme of lighting if coefficient of utilization = 0.9 ; Depreciation factor
= 0.7 and efficiency of lamps = 80 lm/W. Use 100-W lamps.

7. It is required to provide an illumination of 100 lux in a factory hall 30 m by 15 m. Assume

that the depreciation factor is 0.8, coefficient of utilisation is 0.4 and efficiency of lamp is
14 lm/W. Suggest the number of lamps and their ratings. The sizes of the lamps available
are 100, 250, 400 and 500 W.

8. It is required to provide an illumination of 100 lm/m2 in a workshop hall 40m × 10m and
efficiency of lamp is 14 lm/W. Calculate the number and rating of lamps and their positions
when trusses are provided at mutual distance of 5m. Take coefficient of utilisation as 0.4 and
depreciation factor as 0.8.

9. A drawing hall 30 m by 15 m with a ceiling height of 5 m is to be provided with a general

illumination of 120 lux. Taking a coefficient of utilization of 0.5 and depreciation factor of
1.4, determine the number of flourscent tubes required, their spacing, mounting height and
total wattage. Taking luminous efficiency of flourescent tube as 40 Im/W for 80 W tubes.
