Lux Level Calculation: WILSON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BOOKS (Simplified Edition 2020)

The document provides calculations to determine the lux level for a data entry room using 10 LED lamps that each produce 4500 lumens and consume 48 watts of power. It calculates that with a room area of 101.85 square meters, utilizing 0.7 of the lumens and a 0.85 maintenance factor, the lux level will be 262.89 lux. It also provides the total wattage used and definitions for utilization factor and maintenance factor terms used in the lux level calculation.

LUX LEVEL CALCULATION

Lighting Lux Level guidelines recommended by CIBSE, Lighting

DATA ENTRY LIGHT FIXTURE SPECIFICATION

Type of indoor lamp fixture : 48W LED Lamp 48 Watts


Luminous Flux per Lamp (S) : 4900 lumen (each LED light)
Location of installation (Room) :

𝑵 𝒙 𝑺 𝒙 𝒖𝒇 𝒙 𝒎𝒇 10 4500 0.7 0.85


E= 262.89
𝑨 101.85

𝑬𝒙𝑨 0 101.85
𝑵= 0.00 0.00
𝑺 𝒙 𝒖𝒇 𝒙 𝒎𝒇 4500 0.7 0.85

Substituting the given values on the above equation;

E: Lux Total Overall Load (W): 480 Watt

𝑵: 10 No. of Lights Lighting Power Density: 4.71 W/m²

𝑺: 4500 Lumen Total luminous flux: 45000 Lumen


A: 101.85 (m²) Area of Room(LxW)

𝒖𝒇: 0.7 utilization factor

𝒎𝒇: 0.85 maintenance factor

Therefore;

E= 262.89 lux for with 4500 lumen of 10 nos. 48W LED Lamp

Notes:

𝒖𝒇: is the proportion of the luminous flux emitted by the lamps which reaches the working plane.
(a) light output ratio of luminaire. (b) flux distribution of luminaire.

𝒎𝒇: The ratio of illumination on a given area after a period of time to the initial illumination on the same area ; used in lighting
calculations to account for the depreciation of lamps or reflective surfaces (or the like). also see light loss factor.

Lux: The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI derived unit of illuminance and luminous emittance, measuring luminous flux per unit area.
[1] It is equal to one lumen per square metre (Illuminance)

Lumen: a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source (Luminous flux, luminous power)
