LIGHTING OF SHIPS
On passenger and merchant ships illumination design is relatively free
of the equipment size, weight, and power requirement limitations that
apply to other means of transport. Occupancy areas approach in size
those encountered ashore. However, ceiling heights usually will be less
and operation in heavy weather at sea imposes high stresses and shocks
on all equipment firmly attached to the ship's structure.
In general the principles set forth in Section 10, 11, 12, and 14 for various
interior and exterior areas ashore will be applicable aboard ship also.
(See Fig. 13-19.) Lighting equipment for shipboard installation should
resist corrosion.
FIG. 13-19. Typical lighting installations on passenger and merchant ships are
based on the same principles as installations for similar occupancy areas ashore.
