ILLUMINATION DESIGN CALCULATION

Lighting system design is an art as well as a science. Illumination engineering, or

design, is a challenging and rewarding field that converts the output of a simple bulb (or
LED) into a pattern of illumination that allows us to safely work, drive, or play. As
engineering progresses into design, the designer integrates fundamental physics, architectural
aesthetics, and human physiology to create lighting solutions that meet all of our ever-
changing needs.
In the professional field, proper lighting design is vital because an under-lighting
arrangement reduces the efficiency of the task for which the lightings were designed and an
over-lighting arrangement results in the organization overspending. On a small scale, this
difference is not noticeable, but in large buildings, plants, factories, and so on, it becomes
very significant in today's electrical wiring installations.
The intensity of light per unit area is referred to as illumination. When we talk about
illumination, or simply lighting, we are referring to lighting systems. Since excellent daylight
is not included, we assume a nighttime condition.
Illumination Design Calculation is the production of light using electricity and its
applications to provide efficient, comfortable, and safe vision. Lighting design, in particular,
refers to only two things: the quantity and quality of light.
The goal of lighting calculations, whether done in terms of foot-candles or lux, is to
determine the average illumination in a room at a condition enabling environment to
production efficiency.
The following formula is used to calculate the total number of luminaires required to
produce a given illuminance using the lumen method:
Total number of luminaires (N) required to provide a chosen level of illumination
(Illuminance) at a given surface is .

The simple and basic approach for calculating the lighting requirement is to divide the
total light requirement of the room by light output (lumen) provided by a single lamp.
Although this is the basic approach for an average household room, but it’s not practically
accurate.
In practical there are several other parameters which are necessary to be considered in
the calculation because nothings Ideal. For example, the luminary’s lumen output won’t be
the same throughout the entire life span, dust deposition on lamps will also reduce their
output over time which means cleanliness is also an important parameter. A bright painted
room reflects more light than a dark colored room so they both have different lighting
requirements.
 ILLUMINANCE LEVEL PROJECT DESIGN

A light fixture, also known as a luminaire, is made up of the light source, power
supply, optical system, and housing. Historically, incandescent bulbs were the most common
type of light source. Many new designs today make use of LEDs or other more energy-
efficient sources. An accurate model of the light source is one of the most important factors
in designing an illumination system. These models, such as those in the Edge source catalog,
should include both the device's physical properties and its radiometric output. Components
of the optical system include lenses and mirrors, as well as light pipes, diffusers, and baffles.
The optical system reshapes the energy output from the source to create the desired light
distribution at a specific location.

Lighting calculations are performed during the design process to obtain information
about lighting system performance. A designer can use the results of calculations to choose
between design alternatives or to refine a particular design. Lighting calculations are
mathematical models of the complex physical processes that occur within a lighted space.
Since these models can never be accurate in every detail, the computations are
approximations of real situations.

On this study the IESNA Lighting Handbook 9th Edition was used in illumination
calculations.
