Step 9: Select a practical layout for the luminaire:
- Assume continuous rows are required
- Calculate the maximum number per row lengthwise in the
room as in figure below for 1200-mm long luminaires.

- Number of rows required is 52/10 = 5

- Select 5 rows of 10 = 50

Step 10: Calculate the luminaire spacing using the figure below:
Sw = 10/5 = 2.0 m

Total length of each row = 10 x 1.2 = 12.0 m
