EE114-1 Homework 2

1. It is required to produce an illumination of 100 lux in a factory hall 30 m by 15 m. Assume that the
maintenance factor is 0.8, coefficient of utilization is 0.4 and efficiency of lamp is 14 lm/W. Suggest
the suitable rating, the number of lamps and their possible arrangement. The sizes of the lamps
available are 100, 250, 400 and 500 W.
[40 lamps of 250 W in 5 rows]

2. It is required to provide an illumination of 100 lux in a workshop hall 40 m x 10 m and efficiency of


lamp is 14 lm/W for 750 W lamp. Calculate the number and rating of lamps when trusses are
provided at mutual distance of 5 m. Take coefficient of utilization as 0.4 and maintenance factor as
0.8.
[12 lamps]

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


of 120 lux. Taking a coefficient of utilization of 0.5 and depreciation factor of 1.4, determine (a) the
number of fluorescent tubes required, (b) their spacing, mounting height and (c) total wattage.
Taking luminous efficiency of fluorescent tube as 40 lm/W for 80 W tubes.
[(a) 48, 24 twin-tube units each tube of 80 W;
(b) Row spacing of 5 m and unit and unit spacing of 3.75 m, (c) 3,840 W]

4. A factory space of 33 m x 13 m is to be illuminated with an average illumination of 72 lux 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.

5. A room 40 m x 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 lux is required. Using maintenance factor of
0.8 and the utilization factor of 0.5, (a) calculate the number of tubes required, (b) sketch a suitable
layout. The 80-W fluorescent tube has an output of 4,500 lm.
[60 tubes]

6. A hall is to be provided with a lighting installation. The hall is 30- m x 20 m x 8 m (high). The
mounting height is 5 m and the required level of illumination is 110 lux. Using metal filament lamps,
determine (a) the rating of suitable lamp and (b) number of single lamp luminaries and draw their
lighting layout. Assume maintenance factor = 0.8, utilization coefficient = 0.6 and space/height ratio
= 1.
Watt: 200 300 500
Lumen/Watt: 10 12 12.3
[(a) 500 W, (b) 24 lamps,]

7. A workshop 100 m x 50 m is to be illuminated with intensity of illumination being 50 lux. Determine


(a) the number of lamps required and (b) design a suitable scheme of lighting if coefficient of
utilization = 0.9; maintenance factor = 0.7 and efficiency of lamps = 80 lm/W. Use 100-W lamps.
