Market-changing, multi-year research
Goals
1. Reduce the lighting power
density by 50%
2. Meet industry-recommended
light levels and luminance
uniformity ratios

Finding # 2 – Light the vertical surfaces
Page 12 #2
Understanding the criteria
• IESNA says
- Minimum 5 fc
- Up to 10 times task illumination
- For uniform appearance, 4:1 luminance
ratio recommended
• What you need
- 30+ fc

Finding #2 – Summary
3. Make it beautiful
Page 15 #2
Finding # 3 – Ambient light needs only 0.4 w/ft2
When,
• Task lighting is correct,
• Vertical surfaces are lighted
Then,
• Ambient lighting needs
only 0.4 w/ft2

High-efficiency T8 luminaires
Use high-efficiency
pendant T8 luminaires with
only 1-lamp in cross
section
• 1-lamp T8
cross section
• 12 to 16 ft on
center
0.4 w/ft2 works!
• 0.4 w/ft2
• $2.33/ft2
Page 17 #3
High performance recessed luminaires
• 2-lamp T8
- 0.71 BF
- 8’ x 10’ on center spacing
- 0.49 w/ft2
• 1-lamp T8
- 1.20 BF
- 8’ x 10’ on center spacing
- 0.40 w/ft2

Super T8s are easy to maintain
Issue #1: We are all familiar that current 4’ fluorescent lamps “turn off” to let us
know they are at the end of life. LEDs will not do this. This raises the very real
question of how will the end user know it is time for a replacement?

Issue #3: Color can shift over time with LEDs. If that happens,

one segment failure means replacing the entire system
Super T8s are widely available

2. LEDs may not be the issue!
