LAMP
TYPES
1. Thermal radiators
Incandescent lamp
Tungsten Halogen
2. Discharge Lamp
Fluorescent lamps
High-intensity discharge (HID)
Advantages
Disadvantages
• Voltage sensitive
• Lowest efficacy
• Short life
• Heat
Tungsten Halogen
Advantage
• Whiter light than incandescent
• Excellent lumen maintenance
• Longer life than incandescent
• More efficient than incandescent
Disadvantages
• More costly than incandescent
2. Discharge Lamp
The light is generated principally using chemical
or electrical processes.
Fluorescent lamps
• High efficiency
• Very good color
• Wide range of colors
• Wide range of wattages
• Good lumen maintenance
• Long life
Fluorescent lamps
Disadvantages
• Temperature effects
• Requires a ballast
• Light control
HID Lamps
Electric-discharge
lamp with a light
producing arc
stabilized by bulb
temperature, including
mercury, metal halide,
and high-pressure
sodium.
HID Lamps
Types of HID
mercury lamp - a high-intensity discharge lamp producing light by
means of an electric discharge in mercury vapor. Also called mercury-
vapor lamp. 35 to 65 lumens/watt.
sodium lamp - a high-intensity discharge lamp producing light by
means of an electric discharge in sodium vapor. Also called sodium
vapor lamp.
low-pressure sodium lamp - a sodium lamp producing a yellow, glare
less light and used especially to illuminate roadways. Also, LPS lamp.
Efficiency is 150 lumens/watt.
high-pressure sodium lamp - a sodium lamp producing broader
spectrum, golden-white light, HPS lamp. Efficiency is 100 lumens/watt.
metal halide lamp - a high-intensity discharge lamp similar in construction
to mercury lamp, but having an arc tube to which more metal halides are
added to produce more light and improve color rendering. Efficiency is 80
lumens/watt
HID Lamps
Advantage
HID lamps have been excellent
choices for applications that require
high efficacy,
long life,
operation in a wide range of ambient
temperatures,
and positive long-term economics.
and a wide spectrum of colors and
wattages

High-power LED
Light emitting diodes, LEDs,
CU, coefficient of utilization: Expresses the efficiency of the light fixture room
combination. It is dependent on fixture efficiency, distribution of light from the
fixture, room shape, and room surface reflectance's. Light fixture manufacturers
print tables listing the CU as a function of room cavity ratio and room surface
reflectance for individual light fixture.
MF, maintenance factor: Varies from 0.85 to 0.65. the maintenance factor adjusts
the Calculation for the fact that lamps produce less light as they get older and
fixtures get dirty and reflect less light out of the fixture.

Spacing Between Fixtures
Maximum Spacing Between Fixtures= Fixture Spacing Criteria x Mounting Height
For the above two formulas, round results to the nearest whole
integer.
Example
Problem
Do lighting design of a 20ft x 30ft class room with desk height or work plane of
2.5ft and ceiling height of 9ft. Use 2 x 4 lay in floor, lights with 4-32 watt lamps
Assume reflectance of: ceiling= 80%, walls=50%, and floors= 40%.
20ft
30ft
Solution
= 75 x 600
