lighting shall be provided in addition to the general illumination in specific areas
of a plant unit for specialised operation e.g. inspection of materials etc. where a
higher illumination level is locally called for.
4.1 Illumination Calculation Basis:
The lighting system design shall comply with the acceptable norms and the best
engineering practices conforming to IS 3646. Following factors shall be
considered while arriving at the utilisation factor to determine the number of
fixtures for each area/buildings in the plant.
MAINTENANCE FACTOR
(a) Air conditioned clean interiors like office rooms, conference room :0.8
Laboratories and Control room
(b) Clean interiors such as Office rooms :0.75
(c) Industrial areas with normal interiors such as :0.7
workshops, stores
(d) Industrial areas with dusty interiors :0.6
(e) Industrial areas with very dusty interiors such as :0.5
coal handling area, crusher house and junction
REFLECTION FACTOR FOR WALL/CEILING
(a) White and very light colors :0.7

(b) Light colors :0.5
(c) Middle tints :0.3
(d) Dark colors :0.1
Utilisation factor considering the room index at applicable surface reflection

factors. The working plane shall be considered at 0.85 m from the floor level.
The value of the ratio of spacing to mounting height shall be commensurate with
the type of fittings selected, uniformly of illumination. The suspension height for
suspended fixtures shall not exceed 1 meter.
GSP-01-00-00-08-317-006-R1 Page 4 of 29
Mounting height, spacing of flood lights shall be based on lamp wattage,
