    The document provides an example of calculating the number of indoor lighting fixtures needed for an office space. It outlines the 8 step process, including determining: total wattage needed, lumens per fixture, number of fixtures, minimum spacing between fixtures, number of rows and fixtures per row, axial and transverse spacing between fixtures. The calculations determine 21 fixtures are needed, arranged in 4 rows with 5 fixtures each, spaced 4 meters axially and 2.5 meters transversely.

    Input information
    These are the input data for the following
    calculation:

    1. An office area has length: 20 meter; width: 10


    meter; height: 3 meter.
    2. The ceiling to desk height is 2 meters.
    3. The area is to be illuminated to a general level
    of 250 lux using twin lamp 32 watt CFL

    luminaires with a SHR of 1.25.


    4. Each lamp has an initial output (Efficiency) of
    85 lumen per watt.
    5. The lamps Maintenance factor (MF) is 0.63
    ,Utilization Factor is 0.69 and space height
    ratio (SHR) is 1.25.

    Calculation in 8 steps

    1. Total wattage of xtures:

    https://electrical-engineering-portal.com/an-example-of-calculating-the-number-of-indoor-lighting-fixtures 4/14
    9/9/2018 An example of calculating the number of indoor lighting fixtures

    Total wattage of fixtures = Number of lamps x


    each lamp’s watt.
    Total wattage of fixtures = 2 × 32 = 64 Watt.

    2. Lumen per xtures

    Lumen per fixtures = Lumen efficiency (Lumen per


    Watt) x each fixture’s watt
    Lumen per fixtures = 85 x 64 = 5440 Lumen

    3. Number of xtures

    https://electrical-engineering-portal.com/an-example-of-calculating-the-number-of-indoor-lighting-fixtures 5/14
    9/9/2018 An example of calculating the number of indoor lighting fixtures

    Required number of fixtures = Required Lux x


    Room area / MF x UF x Lumen per fixture
    Required number of fixtures = (250 x 20 x 10) /
    (0.63 × 0.69 × 5440)
    We will need 21 fixtures

    4. Minimum spacing between each xture

    The ceiling to desk height is 2 meters and space


    height ratio is 1.25, so:
    Maximum spacing between fixtures = 2 × 1.25
    = 2.25 meter.

    5. Number of required rows of xtures along with width of room

    Number of rows required = Width of room / Max.


    spacing = 10 / 2.25
    Number of rows required is therefore = 4.

    6. Number of xtures required in each row

    Number of fixtures required in each row = Total


    Fixtures / Number of rows = 21 / 4
    Therefore, we have 5 fixtures in each row.

    7. Axial spacing between each xture:

    Axial spacing between fixtures = Length of room /


    Number of fixtures in each row
    … and that would be: 20 / 5 = 4 Meter

    8. Transverse spacing between each xture:

    Transverse spacing between fixtures = Width of


    room / Number of fixtures in row
    … and that would be: 10 / 4 = 2.5 Meter.

    So far, we have been calculated the


    following:

    Number of rows with lighting fixtures =


    4
    Number of lighting fixtures in each row
    =5
    Axial spacing between fixtures = 4.0
    meter
    Transverse spacing between fixtures =
    2.5 meter
    Required total number of fixtures = 21
