Letter Lighting Projection 21-09-2023
Respected:
Mr. Ning Qi

I hope I find you well, in response to the previous email, I would like to discuss with you
the regulations we found on the recommended lighting levels for the work to be carried
out in the production areas of Ubeam, Modified Pedestals, Boxbeam and the storage areas
of Storage.
It does not specify specific production plants and structural assemblies, which allows us
as designers to choose from the international standard levels that can be considered
optimal for the work to be performed in each area.
Guided by the required levels of Table 440.1 of RETILAP for the storage and warehouse
areas of conventional building materials, they present these values:
However, the work that will be carried out in the Storage area will be in areas without roofs,
where the work is carried out outdoors, which is why the local RETILAP standard again does
not apply.
Below, some values of international regulations on the work required will be presented:
Lighting levels Spanish regulations:
As is well known, the lighting regulations in Colombia are governed mainly by the levels of
the Spanish UNE regulations, for this reason we present the values indicated in this
standard.
In general, for different Industry applications, the following thresholds are established:
However, the UNE-12464.1 standard does establish specific levels for the Cement,
Concrete and Brick Industry
For this reason, we could not, from the lighting design area, reduce the lighting values
below 200 Lux; on the other hand, the ideal is to present lighting that meets levels of 200
Lux and uniformity of 50% or greater for the areas. of production covered.
In the case of Boxbeam and modified Pedestals, production areas whose work is carried out
outdoors without a roof, it is allowed to reduce the lighting levels based on the fact that the
work in production areas will be daytime and that the lighting will serve as a safety
mechanism when the day approaches the afternoon hours where natural lighting decreases.
In these areas we will guarantee lighting of 100 Lux and 50% uniformity, guaranteeing
the safety of staff. The design presented to you met an average of 200 Luxes will be updated.
Finally, for the Storage area, it will be classified as an area intended for storage;
additionally, work is done outdoors, without a roof, which is why for these areas we will
guarantee perimeter lighting of 50 Lux and uniformity of 40%.
In general, for internal vehicular circulation routes, lighting of 0.6 Cd/m2 will be
guaranteed, and uniformity of 40%, for pedestrian paths adjacent to these internal
streets, pedestrian lighting of 5 Lux is designed, and uniformity of 33%, guaranteeing
with this the safety of looking vehicles in circulation in these internal areas of the yard.
We hope to have satisfactorily responded to your request with this efficient lighting
projection. Next week we will submit the updated lighting design that meets these levels.

Espero encontrarlos bien, en respuesta al correo anterior, quisiera discutir con ustedes la
normatividad que encontramos sobre los niveles recomendados de iluminación para los
trabajos que se realizarán en las áreas de producción de Ubeam, Pedestales modificados,
Boxbeam y las áreas de almacenamiento de Storage.
Guiados por los niveles requeridos de la Tabla 440.1 del RETILAP para las áreas de
almacenamiento y bodega de materiales de edificaciones convencionales nos presentan
estos valores:
Sin embargo, los trabajos que se realizarán en el área de Storage serán en zonas sin techo,
donde los trabajos se realizan al aire libre, razón por la cual nuevamente no aplica la norma
local RETILAP.
A continuación, se presentarán algunos valores de la normatividad internacional sobre los
trabajos requeridos:
Específicamente nos encontramos con el Encofrado que pide los siguientes niveles:
Por esta razón no podríamos desde el área de diseño de iluminación disminuir los valores
de iluminación por debajo de los 200 Lux, en contraparte, lo ideal es presentar una
iluminación que cumpla con niveles de 200 Lux y uniformidad de 50% o mayor para
las áreas de producción cubiertas.
Atentamente
