    The document discusses the utilization factor (UF), which is the ratio of total light received by a surface to the total light output of the lighting installation. The UF indicates the effectiveness of the lighting scheme and depends on factors like luminaire efficiency, light distribution, room geometry, reflectance, and polar curve. UF tables are usually prepared for general lighting layouts to show UF values for ceiling, walls, and floor surfaces.

    Lumen Method

    • Utilisation factor (UF)


    • Ratio of total flux received by the surface to the
    total lamp flux of the installation
    • Indicates the effectiveness of the lighting scheme
    • UF depends upon: the efficiency of luminaire,
    luminaire distribution, geometry of the space,
    room reflectance, polar curve
    • Usually, UF tables are prepared for general
    lighting with regular arrays of luminaires, for 3
    main room surfaces: ceiling cavity, walls, and
    floor cavity or horizontal reference plane
