Calculate No of Lighting Fixtures

The document provides steps to calculate indoor lighting requirements for a room, including: 1) Calculating the total wattage and lumens of lighting fixtures based on the number and wattage of lamps. 2) Determining the number of required fixtures based on the room area, required lux level, and lumens per fixture. 3) Calculating the minimum spacing between fixtures and number of rows of fixtures required based on the room width and maximum spacing. 4) Determining the number of fixtures per row and axial and transverse spacing between fixtures. The conclusion states the number of fixture rows, fixtures per row, and axial and transverse spacing between fixtures to achieve the required lighting level of 21 fixtures.

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
