 INFORMATION SHEET 2.3-1

Types and Usage of Lighting Fixture.

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the trainee will be able to:
1. Familiarize types and usage of Lighting Fixture.

On our previews topic you learned about making and interpreting plan
and preparing work. Other topics discussed were about installation of
protective electrical devices. Now, in the information sheet, you are going to
study about Types and Usage of Lighting Fixture.

What are the different types of Lighting Fixture?

What is task lighting? How to create accent

lighting? What else is available besides ambient
lighting? With so many different types of lighting
available, it can get a little confusing when designing a
lighting scheme for your home or office. Our guide
explains the different types of lighting - ambient (or
general), task and accent, how to use them effectively,
and which light fixtures to use create your desired
lighting.

 These are the Three Basic Types of Lighng Fixtures

1. Ambient Lighting
This is one of the most common types of lighting. Ambient light is a soft
glow that blankets your space just enough for you to function without causing
a harsh glare. In photography and cinematography, ambient light is considered
the "natural light" within a room. In décor, ambient light is very similar, except
you create the ambient light by making the room's lighting as natural and flat
as possible. While ambient light is meant to get you safely from point A-to-B, it
is not ideal for working closely with things or to highlight things around your
space.

How to Light a Room with Ambient/General

Lighting?

When used correctly, ambient light creates a fantastic

environment to relax from an overly stressful day or to have a
warm conversation with an old friend. Ambient lighting is often
referred to as mood lighting, because this light captures the
soft curves of your face and allows your pupils to dilate slightly
(a physical sign of affection). Some yoga studios have even
begun using the softer ambient lighting in their classes to help
draw stress from the body.

We recommend using the following lights to create ambient

light.
Wall Sconces
Lamps
Chandeliers
Pendants
Recessed

Lighting
1. Wall Wall lights are fantastic for
Sconces designing accent lighting.
Lighting They come in a range of
sizes that allow you the
highlight big or small pieces
of art. These work great on
art walls and for
showcasing the architecture
of your space.

2. Chandelier These light fixtures work

Lighting fantastic with taller
ceilings. You can choose
which height is best for
your lighting needs.
Chandeliers are very classic
pieces that work well in
foyers, over the tub in the
bathroom, or over large
dining room tables.

3. Pendant Pendants are great because

Lighting they can be placed in a lot
of areas and can hang
directly above work spaces.
Depending on the style and
placement of the pendant,
you can use these for
ambient, task, or accent
lighting. Use a series of
pendants with clear or
light-colored shades for
ambient lighting, two or
more pendants with dark
colored shades for task
 lighting, or one or two
pendants over a side table
or other focal point to

 create accent lighting.
4. Recessed Not only are can lights used
Lighting for general room lighting,
recessed lighting can be
used for for accent lighting
depending on where you
place them. Place them in
your ceiling or in your floor
close to the wall to create a
wall washing affect to
illuminate a beautiful brick
texture, a colorful paint
design or display a huge
bay window.
5. Track Track lights are great for
Lighting the same reason, except
they can typically cover a
little more space. Try using
a series of these throughout
your home in rooms such
as your master bedroom,
den, kitchen, or living
room.

6. Ceiling Flush and semi-flush

Lighting ceiling lighting are so
versatile and discrete they
work almost anywhere. Use
these carefully. Ceiling
lighting is standard in
hallways, bedrooms,
kitchens, and outdoor
spaces, such as, patios and
porches. Try to incorporate
the ceiling mounted fixtures
with wall switches into your
home’s architecture.

2. Task Lighting Fixture

This is a smaller more concentrated light. You want task lighting around
when you’re working. In fact, some people call it office lighting. Task lighting is
meant to help you see when you’re doing projects in which you need a finer
light, such as, reading, cooking, writing, sewing and many other things. Task
lighting only works well when it is used as a contrasting light. For example, if
you have a low-lit room with a swing arm lamp turned on over your desk, the
light over the desk surface will be more effective with less glare or shadow-

effect than if the entire room was lit with a brighter light.

Task lighting helps naturally

stimulate your brain. The contrasting
light allows you to be more alert and
concentrated. This will help you see
more details as you work, creating
higher quality results. This is why many
businesses choose to use task lighting
in their offices.
We recommend using the following
fixtures to create task light.
Pendants
Swing Arm Lamps
Under Cabinet
Vanity

2. Swing Arm Use lamps on your desks,
Lamps bedside tables, mounted
next to your favorite chair
or anywhere you need a
little extra light for working.
Swing arm lamps allow you
to adjust the light anyway
you’d like. Since lamps are
lightweight, portable, and
adjustable these are the
ideal task lights.

3. Under These are the ultimate task

Cabinet lights. Under cabinet lights
Lighting work great in your kitchen,
like below. They add a flare
to your kitchen and give the
extra light you need for
chopping and cleaning.

4. Vanity Vanity lighting is standard

Lighting in bathrooms and on
dressing room tables.
Bathroom and mirror lights
provide a bright, focused
light to ensure your
makeup and hair is done
just right!

3. Accent Lighting Fixture

This is a very concentrated light with the intention of drawing the eye to
its focal point. Accent lighting is a way of adding style and drama to your
home. This will help you illuminate the pieces you want on display, while
shadowing dull areas. People use accenting for wall washing, artwork,
bookcase displays, pieces of furniture, collections and the general architecture
of their homes. Outdoor accent lighting is when you highlight parts of the
architecture of your home or yard. This is very popular during the holidays,
especially Halloween and Christmas.

 How to Use Accent Lighting?
Accent lighting is one of the types of lighting that
creates a very sophisticated atmosphere. It evokes
feelings of meaning and importance to the images it
displays. This lighting type is used a lot for museums,
historical buildings and art shows.
We recommend using the following lights to create
accent light.

 How an Electric Outlet Works

An electrical outlet is the receptacle for the plug of an electrical device. In other
words, the outlet is the receptacle an appliance is plugged into. Outlets can
come with one, two or three receptacles where one, two or three appliances can
be plugged-in. There are various types of outlets available, so it's important to
know the differences between them before you attempt to rewire your house.
We will now explain the different types of electrical outlets.

10 Types of Common Auxiliary Outlet

Everything you need to know about the topic is written right below, check it out so
that you can have a better understanding on each of the types.
Types of Description Actual Image
Lighting
While the Philippines does not
use Type C plugs, Type C is
actually the most widely used
international plug. It is
commonly known as the
1. Two-way Europlug, as it’s used in most
Outlet countries of Europe. The
(Round beauty of this socket outlet type
and is it’ll accept two types of plugs,
Parallel)
so you won’t need an adaptor in
case your appliance is from
Europe. However, there is no
grounding protection, unlike
the parallel flat outlet w/
grounding pin.

Outlet serves as a grounding pin. This
with provides additional protection

Outlet electrocution and fire due to a

and device malfunction.
Parallel) Can be used for: Type A, Type B
and Type C plugs
3. Switch and
Outlet
Combinati A combo device is the combination
ons of switch and outlet in the same
enclosure box. The built-in switch
can be wired to control the
receptacle in the enclosure box.
The switch can be also wired
through a jumper wire where the
switch will control an additional
load point such as lighting point.
4. 20-Amp, Many large appliances need a
125-Volts 20-amp current to operate.
Outlet These are especially common
for refrigerators and laundry
machines. They are similar to
the three-prong, 15-amp
outlets but have a horizontal or
T-shaped pin on the left. This
helps prevent people from
plugging items into the wrong
type of outlet.

5. 20-Amp, These outlets are similar to the

250-Volts 125-volt ones used for
Outlet appliances, but they have an
even higher voltage. They look
very similar and are sometimes
used for tools such as air
compressors. In a home, these
outlets are usually installed by
hobbyists for their shops.
However, they are also common
in commercial spaces.

6. GFCI GFCI stands for ground fault circuit
Outlet interrupter. A GFCI is required in
any areas with an increased risk of
shock due to electrical hazards,
such as water. In order to protect
you from ele ctrical hazards, a
GFCI monitors electrical current,
turning off an electrical circuit when
it detects an imbalance - current
flowing along an unintended path.
Think of a GFCI as a small, extra-
sensitive circuit breaker built right
into an outlet to protect you against
electrocution – even in outlets that
are not grounded. GFCIs are
currently required for use in:
 Bathrooms
 Kitchens
 Laundry and utility rooms
 Garages
 Crawlspaces and unfinished
basements
 Wet bars
 The exterior of your
home/business
 Spa and pool areas

7. AFCI AFCIs stand for arc-fault circuit

Outlet interrupters, and they protect you
from electrical dangers, but of a
different variety – those that create
heat via arcing. Examples include
a rodent chewing on a wire, driving
a nail through a wire, or a device
overheating where it is plugged
into the wall. AFCIs detect this
arcin g, shuttin g down outlets
before damage can occur. They
are not found in wall receptacles
like GFCIs, but instead are easily
incorporated into your home or
business’ main service panel in the
form of specialized circuit breakers.
AFCIs are required in:
 Bedrooms
 Any sleeping area: dens,
foldout couches, etc.
 Kitchens
 Laundry areas

8. Universal Can be used for: Most common
Outlet plugs (including Type A, B, C,
and G)
The beauty of the universal
outlet is that it accepts most
kinds of plugs in the world,
which makes it convenient;
plus, it has grounding
protection. However, the
universal outlet can have a less
sturdy grip compared to the
single-use outlet types since it
relies on spring-loaded pins. As
such, if your appliances
typically use Type A or Type B
plugs, it is more advisable to
use Parallel outlet pins instead
– as these are more durable
and will last you longer
Can be used for: Type A plugs
This is the most common
socket outlet used in the
Philippines, and most plugs of
appliances bought in the
country can be used with the
parallel outlet. Likewise,
appliances bought from the US,

Outlet would typically have this
configuration as well. However,
this socket outlet type is the
most exclusive as it will only
accept one type of plug, Type A.
Warning: If you have a Type A
outlet, but a Type B plug –
never attempt to remove or
tamper with the third prong in
a grounded plug just to make it
fit into the Type A outlet. By
removing the grounded pin, you
are removing the protection
against electrocution and/or
fire. You’d be better off
purchasing an adapter or
extension cord with Type B
socket outlets instead

  Stranded wire-it contains a group of wires twisted to form a metallic string.
 Solid wire-consist only of single conductor.

Generally, wires and cables available in the market are even numbers in American
Wire Gauge.
Below is a simple schematic diagram of an electric circuit. Label the parts of the
circuit.
These are the answers to the parts of an electric circuit:
1. Load 3. Switch
2. Source of Current 4. Wires
A complete circuit has different components. These are the components of a
complete circuit.
1. Source of current – this is where the electricity is taken to supply energy to
appliances and gadgets.
2. Switch – is used to control the flow of current.
3. Load – is considered as the current consuming device.
4. Wire – is used as the path of electric current.

In Electrical Installation and Maintenance, the use of correct sizes of

wires is very important. The number of loads at home corresponds to the
number of wires to be used in the electrical installation at home. Another
important consideration in house wiring installation is the computation of
loads. The most common sizes of wires used are wires number 14 AWG and
number 12 AWG. In lighting circuit, the number 14 AWG wire is used. While in
convenience outlets the number 12 AWG size of wire is used. In electrical
installation you should use the correct tools for the right job. Safety measures
are also taken up for the safety of the learners.
To avoid overloading, short circuit, and faulty wiring correct sizes of
wires and types of wires are used in the electrical installation. The sizes of
wires determine the current capacity the wires can carry. Bigger wires can
carry large amount of current while small wires can carry small amount of
current. House wiring installation uses small wires while electrical
transmission lines use big wires.

1. The Philippine Electrical Code-was established to ensure the safe practice of
electrical wiring. The PEC includes instructional safety standards on the
installation of electrical material and equipment such as lighting fixture,
conduits, and motors.
2. The National Building Code-is implemented to safeguard life and property.

Electric current flows in any conductor, be it solid, liquid or gas.

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow freely. Wires and
cables are conductors. An electric circuit is a closed path of electrons
consisting of a source of electricity connected to a load by conductors.
Wiring Materials and Devices:
According to NEMA 2020, wiring devices are current carrying electrical
products to serve simply as a connection or control point for electrical circuit.

 Information Sheet 2.3-3b
Common Electrical Symbols

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. acquire basic knowledge about common electrical symbols
2. understand the wiring diagram in building installation

Introduction:
Electrical symbols used on an architectural plan show the location and type
of electrical device required. A typical electrical installation as taken from a
plan is shown in Figure 1.1.
The NEC has many words unique
to the electrical trade. For example:
• A device is A unit of an electrical
system that carries or controls
electric energy as its principle
function.
• An outlet is A point on the wiring
system at which current is taken to
supply utilization equipment.
• A receptacle is A contact device installed at the outlet for the connection of
an attachment plugs.
• A receptacle outlet is an outlet
where one or more receptacles
are installed, Figure 1.2.
• A lighting outlet is an outlet
intended for the direct
connection of a lamp holder or
luminaire. See Figure 1.3.
• A split-wired receptacle is electrician’s
jargon, not an official NEC definition.
Electricians are very creative in their use of
terms. Other terms for the use of these

receptacles include split-receptacle, split-wired, split-switched, switched-
receptacle, and half-switched.
To convert a conventional
duplex receptacle into a split-
wired receptacle, simply remove
the tab between the two
ungrounded conductor
terminals (brass colored). The
receptacle can then be used
where one receptacle is “hot” at
all times, and the other
receptacle is switch controlled.
Another common application is
to connect each receptacle of the
duplex to a separate branch circuit.
By definition, toggle switches, receptacles circuit breakers,
fuses, and occupancy sensors are devices because they carry or
control current as their principal function.
The term opening is widely used by electricians and electrical
contractors when estimating the cost of an installation. The term
opening covers all lighting outlets, receptacle outlets, junction
boxes, switches, etc. The electrician and/or electrical contractor will
estimate a job at “X dollars per lighting outlet,” “X dollars per
switch,” “X dollars per receptacle outlet,” and so on. These
estimates will include the time and material needed to complete the
job. Each type of electrical opening is represented on the electrical
plans as a symbol. The electrical openings in Figure 1-1 are shown
by the symbols in Figure 1-4.
ANSI recently published a totally revised standard entitled
Symbols for electrical Construction Drawings. This was the first
revision in over 25 years. Figures 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 show
the electrical symbols most commonly found on architectural and
electrical plans. Because some items may have more than one
symbol, it is important to check the plans and specifications of any
job you are working on for a symbol schedule to make sure you
have interpreted the symbols correctly.

 Information Sheet 2.3-3c
Applying methods and techniques in installation of various type of
lighting fixture and auxiliary outlet

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. handle tools and equipment;
2. identify the basic tips in storing electrical tools and
equipment;
3. demonstrate the proper care of tools and equipment.
Introduction:
It contains the “know” and “do” units in Installation of
Electrical Lighting
System on Auxiliary Outlets and Lighting Fixtures. Covers installation of
knob and tube, PVC raceway/molding, rigid non-metallic conduit, flexible
non-metallic conduit, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and incandescent lamp
Wiring Methods
1. Knob and tube method
The open or exposed wiring method is sometimes referred to
as the Open Wiring on Insulators. (PEC section 212) It uses cleats,
knobs (split or solid), porcelain tubes and mica tubing for the
support and protection of insulated conductors run in or on
buildings. It may be used in working either outside or inside
building in dry or wet
locations. It shall not be
used in the following
locations:
1. Commercial Garages
2. Theaters
3. Motion Picture Studios
4. Hoist ways
5. Hazardous Locations
In the open or
exposed wiring method,
the wires are visible and are supported by the knobs. These knobs
may be a split or solid type.
Split knobs are used to support wires smaller than No. 8.
Solid knobs are used to support or anchor wires as big as No. 8 or
even bigger. Screws or nails may be used to fasten the knobs. When
a nail is used a leather washer should be placed between the nail
 head and the insulator to form cushion and protect the insulator
from breaking.
In installing an electrical wiring system with the exposed
knob and tube wiring method, the distance between conductors

 should be maintained at a minimum distance of 6 cm. (2 ½ inches)
apart. The knobs must have a 30cm (1 foot) distance apart. Figure
4 illustrates this provision of PEC.

Some advantages of the Knob and Tube wiring:

1. It is used in temporary installation, such as construction jobs.
2. It has economical when properly installed.
3. It has a lower operating temperature because of ventilation brought by
distances of the installation.
Safety reminders when installing knob and tube wiring
1. Apply enough pressure on the gimlet when driving it to the wood
board. Never hammer it.
2. Have the auger brace oiled regularly especially the ratchet type.
3. Have your electrician’s knife sharpened enough in order not to nick
the wire.
4. Use the appropriate screwdriver for the screw.
5. Be sure that the conductors in contact with the wiring surface are
enclosed in mica tubing.
6. Be sure that your teacher has checked your work before testing.
7. Be sure that the safety switch is off before making any connection.
Apply tape on all joints/splices.
8. Do not drive the split-knobs completely before the conductors or wires
are run or inserted along the grooves of the knobs.
9. Be sure to test the insulation for short and ground circuit before
putting on the power.

2. Surface Raceway Method

Is a one piece, non-metallic, adhesive backed latching
raceway designed to aesthetically organize and route low voltage
communications cables. It features a low-profile design which
blends into any environment whether it is new construction or a
renovation. It is easy to cut and trim and is also printable with a
latex-based paint. It provides a complete line of fittings to manage
connectivity requirements.
The National Electrical Code permits surface raceways in dry
locations for exposed or surface work. The raceway can be extended
through dry ways, dry partitions, and dry floors if one continuous
length of raceway is used throughout the concealed section. The
raceway cannot be used for concealed work on locations subject to
 severe to corrosive vapors, or in hoist ways and hazardous location.

3. Rigid Non-Metallic Conduit (PVC)
Non-metallic conduits are electrical materials which are
manufactured to be resistant to moisture and chemical
atmosphere. They are also manufactured to be flame retardant or
not easily burned. They are resistant to impact and crushing. They
do not easily get out shape by the heat. These conduits are
classified according to the materials they are made of. The most
common ones are asbestos cement conduit, polyvinyl chloride,
conduit and high-density polyethylene conduit.
