Components of Lighting System 4
Natural lighting
• Part of solar radiation that is visible to the human eye.
• Can be exploited by enlarging windows
• Helping to regulate the body clock, improve concentration and create a calm,
tranquil setting.
• Combination of 3 separate components: The sky component, The externally
reflected component and Internally reflected component
Artificial lighting
• Form of lighting that is not 'natural’
• Produced by electrical means
• Used to light rooms in a windowless environment
• Provide adequate illumination at night
Type of Artificial lightning installations 5
• General lightning
• Localized lightning
• Local lightning
General Lightning
Generally, use a regular layout of luminaires to provide an

approximately uniform illuminance over the whole working
plane.
Localised Lightning
6
These systems are designed to provide the required maintained
illuminance on work areas together with a lower illuminance for
other areas.
Local Lightning
These systems are designed to provide illumination only over the
small area occupied by the task and its immediate
surroundings.
Generally, there are 3 types of lighting system. 7
1. Accent Lighting
• Used to highlight the texture of a brick or stone wall, window

treatments or outdoor landscaping.
• Accent lighting is usually provided by recessed and track
lighting or wall-mounted picture lights
2. Ambient Lighting 8
• Ambient lighting provides an area with overall illumination.

• Ambient illumination for orientation and general tasks in the
space, like Walking.
• Ambient lighting is often provided by traditional pendant type
fixtures, down lights, chandeliers, or ceiling mounted fixtures.
3. Task Lighting 9
• Task lighting should be free of distracting glare and shadows and
should be bright enough to prevent eye strain.
• Task lighting is mainly functional and is usually the most
concentrated, for purposes such as reading or inspection of
materials.
• Typical examples of task lighting include; desk, swing arm,
anglepoise and floor lamps, under cabinet and vanity lights,
pendant and track lights.
Operations & Maintenance 10
▪ Proper lighting system maintenance and operation is essential to high quality,

efficient lighting. Many cost-effective opportunities for reducing energy and
maintenance costs and improving occupant satisfaction are frequently missed
simply because operations and maintenance issues are ignored.
Implementing a Lighting Maintenance Program

▪ Facility blueprints.
▪ Fixture and controls schedule.
▪ Equipment specifications, including product cut sheets.
▪ Equipment and service provider sources and contacts (include utility contacts).
▪ Fixture cleaning and relamping schedule with service tracking log.
▪ Procedures for relamping, reballasting, and cleaning fixtures.
▪ Procedures for the adjustment of photosensors and occupancy sensors.
▪ Procedures for proper lamp and ballast disposal.
Lighting Control Systems 11
▪ A lighting control system is an intelligent network based lighting control solution that
incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting
control with the use of one or more central computing devices.
▪ Its primary function is energy management.
▪ Simple controls such as photocells, time clocks, or motion sensors automatically turn lights on
when they are needed and off when they are not needed.
▪ For larger facilities, control systems can be designed to integrate lighting into other building
automation systems, such as those used to control heating and cooling.
▪ Efficient energy-saving lighting controls are designed to provide light only when and where
light is needed. The savings from turning lights off when not needed can be significant. For
example, if a commercial building has 1,000 fluorescent light fixtures and they are turned off
one hour earlier each weekday, over $4,500 can be saved annually given typical energy
costs.
