Term Explanation
Light loss factor, The overall loss of light from the dirtiness of the
(LLF) lamp (0.8), luminaire (0.95) and the room surfaces
(0.95). Clean conditions LLF may be 0.7
but 0.5 when equipment and room become soiled.
Preferred to maintenance factor.
Maintenance factor An allowance for reduced light emission due to the
(MF) build-up of dust on a lamp or within a luminaire. Normally
0.8 but 0.9 if the lamps are cleaned regularly or if a
ventilated luminaire is used. Light loss factor (LLF) is
preferred.
Utilization factor The ratio of the luminous flux received at the
(UF) working plane to the installed flux.
