Lecture Content
Luminaires
• High efficiency
• Reflected glare
• Ceiling illumination
• Translucent diffusers
• Typical examples of this type are white
opal glass, frosted glass, and white
plastics such as Plexiglas, polystyrene,
vinyl, and polycarbonates.
• Prismatic Lens
• Batwing Lens
• Fixtures equipped with these diffusers have good efficiency, low
direct and reflected glare, and good diffusion.
• Recessed fixtures are the least visible, especially when used with small point sources.
• They require ceiling depth and are the least likely to be moved once installed.
