Lighting Efficiency Benefits
Energy savings = $ savings Reduced maintenance = time and cost savings Better light quality:
o Increased productivity o Improved safety and performance o Comfort
Basic Definitions
Lamp light bulb of any type
Luminaire complete lighting fixture including:
Housing Reflectors Wiring Trim Lens or shade Lamps Ballast Lamp holders
Lighting Types Incandescent
Filament heated by electric current to produce light
o Incandescent o Halogen advanced incandescent
Inefficient
o <10% energy consumed actually results in light output
(6%-7% per GE Lighting)
o >90% energy lost as heat o Legislation to ban these in U.S. by 2012 (2011 in CA)
Short lived filament burns up or breaks
Lighting Types Fluorescent
Luminescence excited electrons cause phosphors in lamp to glow:
Fluorescent lamps use phosphor coating to emit white light Linear light source provides even illumination Can be temperature sensitive Very wide offering of products
Lighting Types HID
High Intensity Discharge
Excited gasses discharge light Point source is easily controlled aimed accurately Not temperature sensitive (cold or warm)
Lighting Types HID (continued)
Types:
Metal halide standard, P.S. white light High pressure sodium amber light Mercury vapor bluish green white light Low pressure sodium yellow colored light, monochromatic
For 24/7 MH operation, shut down each week for 15 minutes safety concern!
Induction Lamps Early 90s
Alternative to low wattage HID lamps:
(street lighting retro-fits) Three system parts
o High frequency generator (2.65mhz) o Power coupler o Discharge vessel (lamp)
New technology?
55-400W Instant starting, 85 CRI 100,000 hours life, 65-70 LPW 3000oK, 3500oK, and 4100oK Excellent for difficult-to-access areas
Lighting Types LED
Light Emitting Diode
Very long life if heat is controlled, 50,000+ hours Efficiencies improving 130 LPW at LED, 70-80 LPW from fixtures Good color rendition, 85-90 CRI No UV in beam great for artwork, etc. Starting to work for exterior, low footcandle needed Coming of age in task lighting, downlights, etc. Still needs to improve for general indoor lighting
LED Canopy Lighting 2008
3 pump rows, 42 fixtures, 18 footcandles
LED Canopy Lighting 2009
5 pump rows, 30 fixtures, 80 footcandles
DOE Testing
4, T8 LED retrofit products not viable per DOE: Simply put, the 4 SSL linear replacement lamps do not provide sufficient light output or efficacy, have poorer color quality than fluorescent benchmarks, often require electrical rewiring of the troffer (to bypass the ballast), and do not represent wise use of SSL technology at this time.
CRI Color Rendering Index
How accurately a light source makes an object appear compared to natural or incandescent light. Rated on 1-100 scale (100 closest to natural light):
T12 fluorescent, 52 to 65 T8, T5 and CFL, 70 to 95 Standard MH, 55 to 65 Pulse start MH, 70 to 80 Ceramic PS MH, 80 to 94 LED, 85 to 90 HPS, 22 LPS, 0
Color Rendering Index
Color Accuracy
Ability of a light source to show colors realistically compared to how an object would appear in incandescent or natural light.
CRI = 90
CRI = 70
CRI = 50
CCT Correlated Color Temperature
Color Appearance
Describes appearance of the light itself
High pressure sodium 2200K Incandescent 2000-3000K Warm white fluorescent 2700K Neutral fluorescent 3500K Cool white fluorescent 4100K Metal halide 4200-5500K Average noon sunlight 4800K Daylight, fluorescent 5000K Uniform overcast skylight 7500K
Generally the higher the color temperature, the bluer the light appears.
Ballast What And Why
Ballast transformer to start/regulate fluorescent and discharge lamps Fluorescent ballast types:
o Heavy, hot o May be required in areas with equipment sensitive to high frequency (60Hz) o Instant start efficient, least expensive o Rapid and newer programmed start
Magnetic (core, coil)
Electronic
PS uses less Watts More gentle starting Use with sensors, frequent (200,000) on/offs

High Intensity Discharge Ballast Types
Standard probe start MH old technology Pulse start
o o o o Faster re-strike time Better maintained light level More lumens per watt Better color rendition
Electronic newer
o Even better LPW and maintenance-close to T8, T5HO o Pricing is coming down o Worth getting a quote to compare

What Is Ballast Factor?
BF can be used to customize light level of T8 fixtures light output is proportional to specified BF design to meet light level needed:
Ultra low BF, less light and less energy Low BF, under-drives lamps for low light output Normal BF close to rated light output from lamps Medium BF cap a ballast lead for slight overdrive High BF, over-drives lamps for high light output .60 .77 .87 1.0 3L = 67 w 4L = 98 w 4L = 112 w 3L = 94 w
1.18 3L = 111 w
(Based on 32w T8s - 30w, 28w, 25w also available)
Calculating Electric Energy Consumption
Watts units of instantaneous power 1 kiloWatt (kW) = 1000 watts To calculate electricity consumption:
kWh of consumption = ( (# Fixtures x *input watts)/1000 ) X hours of operation *Find input watts in manufacturers catalogs!
Lighting Measurement Terminology
Lumens total light output from a lamp
o Listed by lamp manufacturers in catalog o Expressed as initial lumens or mean lumens o Lighting design targets mean lumens
Illuminance light level at the task
o Measured in footcandles by light meter or calculated with photometric data from manufacturer spec sheet
Footcandles (fc) light level at specific location
o Defined as a unit of illuminance equal to 1 lm/ft o Measured at task level o Both horizontal and vertical are important!
Recommended Light Levels
Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) publishes guidelines (9th edition) based on 13 criteria 10th edition released mid 2011
o o o o Type of task being performed Size of objects handled Level of detail required Average age of workers in that space 30 fc 50 fc 100 fc
Recommended illuminance examples (IES RP7-01)
o Motor and equipment observation o Medium bench or machine work o Inspection (difficult)
More light needed for smaller size and lower contrast
o Adjust for age of worker, contrast, size
More Measurement Terminology
Efficacy lumens per watt (LPW)
o Measures lamp efficiency (like a cars MPG) o Varies by lamp type larger wattage is more efficacious o Good starting point, not only consideration look at total system performance for proper lighting solution for ambient temperature, fc required, dirt, glare, fixture optical performance
Lamp lumen depreciation/lumen maintenance
o As lamps age they give off less light o Follows a specific curve published for light sources by mfg. o Lumen depreciation differs by light source type

Lamp Nomenclature
Varies by manufacturer Example F32T8/835
F = fluorescent 32 = lamp watts, sometimes length (i.e. F96T8 = 96) T = tubular shape 8 = diameter in eighths of an inch (T8 = 1 diameter) Usually followed by description of CRI & CCT
o CW = cool white (4100K) o SPX35, 835 = 85 CRI and 3500K
Sometimes followed by additional efficiency description
o WM = Watt Miser; SS = Super Saver; EW = Econo-Watt
Best Practices
Facility Lighting Level Standards
1. Identify current lighting equipment. 2. Interview workers in each area about light levels and effectiveness. 3. Determine existing light levels with light meter. 4. Establish standards using in-house information and industry standards IES. 5. Evaluate data for areas of potential lighting reduction/increase. 6. Use the standards when changing lighting, verify levels with light meter afterward. 7. Monitor light levels regularly to assess any degradation in levels.
Establish then verify/maintain
