include an earth wire.Where this is not the case, the degree of electrical
protection afforded by the luminaire is the same as that afforded by
Class 0.
Where a connection block is employed instead of a power lead, the metal
housing must be connected to the earth terminal on the block. The
provision made for earthing the luminaire must in all other respects satisfy
the requirements laid down for Class I.
Class II - symbol
Class II luminaires are so designed and constructed that exposed metal parts
cannot become live.This can be achieved by means of either reinforced or
double insulation, there being no provision for protective earthing. In the
case of a luminaire provided with an earth contact as an aid to lamp starting,
but where this earth is not connected to exposed metal parts, the luminaire
is nevertheless regarded as being of Class I.
A luminaire having double or reinforced insulation and provided with an
earth connection or earth contact must be regarded as a Class I
luminaire.
However, where the earth wire passes through the luminaire as part of
the provisions for through-wiring the installation, and it is electrically
insulated from the luminaire using Class II insulation, then the luminaire
remains Class II.
Class III - symbol
The luminaires in this class are those in which protection against electric
shock relies on supply at Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV), and in which
voltages higher than those of SELV (50 V a.c. r.m.s.) are not generated.
An a.c. operating voltage of 42 V maximum is common. A Class III
luminaire should not be provided with a means for protective earthing.
Protection against ingress of solid bodies, dust and moisture
The Ingress Protection system (IP) EN 60529, 1991 defines various degrees
of protection against the ingress of foreign bodies, dust and moisture.The
term foreign bodies includes things like fingers and tools coming into
contact with the electrical live parts of the luminaire.
Both safety aspects (contact with live parts) and harmful effects on the
function of the luminaire are defined.The exact testing method for each IP
classification is described in EN 60529.
Note that the conditions during testing might differ from the specific
Safety and protection of luminaires
Approvals and standards
Most of0 luminaires supplied by Philips Lighting comply with the appropriate
safety rules as laid down in the European standard EN60598 prepared by
the CEN/CENELEC (the European Committee for Electrotechnical
Standardisation) as indicated by CE marking on the product and packaging.
Philips outdoor lighting luminaires are constructed and tested according to
EN 60598 and IEC 598 Parts 2-3, 2.5.
Electrical supply
Philips electronic ballasts are designed for a rated mains voltage of 220-240
V, with tolerance for safety of +/- 10% and tolerances for performance of
8% and +4 V.
Ambient temperature
Philips indoor luminaires are designed to meet the (environmental)
conditions under which they are most likely to be used. Most of the
luminaires are designed for maximum ambient of 45C. The maximum
ambient temperature Ta under which a luminaire can be safely applied, is
indicated on the label on the products. The use of luminaires above their
specified maximum ambient temperature may reduce safety margins and will
in any case lead to a reduction of the lifetime of the various components;
especially electronic equipment (ballasts and controls) is sensitive to
overheating and lifetime will be reduced.Although using luminaires at
(extremely) low temperatures does not normally affect safety, the operating
(especially starting) of the lamp may be influenced. Fluorescent lamps should
not be used below 5C to 10C, whereas
high-intensity discharge lamps function well below 20C.
Philips luminaires for outdoor lighting have been designed for ambient
temperatures of up to 35C., unless indicated otherwise.
Upon request special solutions are often possible for higher or lower
ambient temperatures.
Electrical safety (classes)
Electrical equipment is classified according to protection against electrical shock.
In normal operation as well as during service and maintenance, luminaires should
be protected against electrical shock. The safety of a luminaire depends on
electrical, mechanical and thermal aspects; both under normal and fault
conditions.
The electrical safety classification drawn up by the IEC embraces four luminaire
classes: Class 0, I, II and III. Class 0 luminaires are not available from Philips
Lighting. Class III is only applicable to Safety Extra-Low Voltage luminaires
(SELV).The table gives a brief description of each electrical safety class.The official
definitions are too long to be reproduced in full here, but can be summarised as
printed below. If a proper earth connection is available, Class I luminaires are
applied. However, when no earth connection, or only a poor-quality earth
connection is available, or where eddy currents are present, Class II luminaires
shall be applied.
Class I - symbol
Luminaires in this class, besides being electrically insulated, are also provided
with an earthing point (labelled) connecting all those exposed metal parts
that could conceivably become live in the presence of a fault condition.
Where the luminaire is provided with a flexible power lead, this must

and in the food industry as explained above. IP 60 luminaires are rarely
applied; IP 65/IP 66 is usually applied instead.
IP 65/66
Jet-proof Iuminaires which are applicable where the surroundings are hosed
down frequently by water jets, or where luminaires are applied in a dusty
environment.Although the luminaires are not fully watertight, the potential
ingress of moisture will not have any harmful effect on the luminaire
function. IP 65/66 luminaires are often available in impact-protected
versions.
IP 67/68
Luminaires complying with this classification are suitable for immersion
in water.
Typical application areas are underwater lighting of swimming pools and
fountain Iighting.
Deck lighting on ships should also meet this classification.
The test method does not imply that IP 67/68 Iuminaires meet the
IP 65/66 classifications as well.
conditions in an application.
The designation to indicate the degree of protection consists of the
characteristic letters IP followed by 2 digits indicating conformity with the
conditions stated in the two tables. All Philips Lighting luminaires fulfil the
minimum classification: IP 20 (protected against finger contact with live
parts), however a selection of luminaires, especially those for industrial
applications, meet a higher IP classification.
It is important to realise that the specification and safety of luminaires are
only secured if the necessary maintenance according to the instructions of
the manufacturer is carried out in time. Luminaires are not available in all
possible combinations of ingress and moisture protection.The most common
applications of the IP classifications for luminaires are:
IP 20
Luminaires which can be applied indoors only if no specific pollution rates
are expected. Offices, dry, heated industrial halls, shops, shopping malls and
theatres are typical application segments.
IP 21/22
Luminaires which can be applied in unheated (industrial) halls and under
canopies as the luminaires are drip-and condensation-waterprotected.
IP 23
Luminaires which can be applied in unheated industrial halls or outdoors.
IP 43/44
Luminaires and bollards for outdoor street lighting and street lanterns.
Bollards mounted at a low height are protected against small solid objects
and against rain and splash.
A common combination within an industrial high-bay luminaire or street
lantern is IP 43 for the electrical part of the luminaire, to secure safety, and
IP 54/65, for the optical part of the Iuminaire, to prevent pollution of
reflector and lamp.
IP 50
Luminaires which are applied in dusty environments, to prevent rapid
pollution of the luminaire.
The exterior of IP 50 luminaires can be cleaned easily. In the food industry,
closed luminaires are specified to prevent glass particles from accidentally
broken lamps entering the production area and contaminating the products
under preparation.
Although ingress protection is specified to protect the luminaire function, it
also means that particles cannot leave the luminaire housing, thereby
meeting the specification of the food industry.
In the wet food industry, luminaires meeting the IP 50 classification shall
not be applied.
IP 54
The traditional water-protected classification. Luminaires can be cleaned
with water without any harmful effect.This classification is often specified in
the food processing industry, for industries where dust and moisture are
generated in the hall, and for use under canopies.
IP 60
Luminaires which are completely sealed against dust accumulation, and are
used in very dusty environments (wood and textile industry, stone carving)
High-bay luminaires illuminate an IP 20 classified area.

Protection against mechanical shock
The impact resistance of a luminaire defines the protection of the luminaire
against mechanical shock.The European norm EN 50102 defines the degrees
of protection against external mechanical impact (IK code) and the method
of testing.The luminaire housing should withstand the defined energy of the
mechanical shock without losing its electrical and mechanical safety, or the
basic luminaire function. Translated into a more practical implementation,
this means that after withstanding the shock, deformation of the mirror and
housing is allowed, although broken lamps, an unsafe electrical situation and
failure to meet the specified IP classifications are not permitted. The impact
resistance is expressed as a group numeral, for instance IK06, which is
related to the impact energy in joule.
Flammability
From the point of view of flammability, luminaires can always be mounted
on non-flammable building materials like concrete and stone. However,
when mounting luminaires on flammable materials special measures
should be taken. Luminaires for discharge lamps with an F-sign are
suitable to be mounted on building surfaces which do not ignite below
200C.
Luminaires for discharge lamps with an FF-sign have a limited surface
temperature, and are suitable to be mounted on easily flammable surfaces.
All types of luminaires of Philips Lighting have a minimum impact resistance
of 0.2 J.The table shows the ten IK classifications and the defined shock
energy in joule.
For example: an IK07 classified luminaire can withstand a mechanical shock
of a pendulum hammer, a spring hammer or a free-falling hammer of 2 joule
(e.g. a hammer of 0.5 kg falling 0.40 m).
Note that vandal-proof Iuminaires are not available: vandal-protected and
vandal-resistant are the best achievable classifications.
Safety distance
Especially in the application of reflector lamps and luminaires with narrow
beam distributions, a minimum distance between light source and
illuminated surface has to be ensured. This is to prevent too high
temperatures.Values for safety distances are specified on the luminaires
packing.The specified values must be considered as the shortest distances
permitted between the light source and the illuminated surface or object.
Wind load
Street luminaires have to withstand winds up to gale force. Wind pressures
on the luminaires also have an effect on the design of the posts.
Wiring
In accordance with the requirements laid down in the regulations
appertaining to luminaires, heat-resistant cables are used for both lamp
wiring and through wiring of Philips luminaires.
The use of plastics in the manufacture of luminaires
Plastic components have become important elements in modern luminaire
construction. They are selected, processed and applied using advanced
technology.
In normal use and with normal wear and tear these plastic components are
guaranteed to last their normal services life.
Operating conditions contrary to those specified or other harmful influences
will, however, accelerate the ageing process.
Gear types
Fluorescent lamps and high-intensity discharge lamps require a device to
limit the current due to the negative current-voltage characteristics.
Traditionally this is realised with electromagnetic control gear in
combination with either a glow-switch or electronic starter. Almost the

- HF-Performer (HFP) / EB-Standard (EBS/HFE):
Electronic ballast for TL5, PL-L and TL-D lamps. These high-frequency
ballasts offer low energy consumption. A warm-start circuit preheating the
lamp electrodes enables the lamp to be switched on and off without
reducing useful life.
- EB-Economy (EBE):
Electronic ballast for TL-D lamps (only for 36 W and 58 W lamps) These
high-frequency ballasts offer low energy consumption. Luminaires with
these ballasts are only to be applied in situations where switching is
infrequent as the lamp electrodes are not preheated (cold start) before
ignition.
- ActiLume sensor and controller:
It is an automatic lighting control system with a different. The system
consists of a sensor and controller unit built into the luminaire and is
operated with the new Philips HF-Regulator II gear. It is the first Plug and
Play lighting control system on the market.
complete range of fluorescent and high-intensity discharge luminaires of
Philips Lighting are available with the electromagnetic ballast system. From
the point of view of energy consumption, the electromagnetic control gear
system is not efficient: the losses in the ballast system are relatively high, and
significant improvements are possible by applying electronic control gear
instead.
Electronic control gear offers a number of advantages in comparison with
traditional electromagnetic ballasts:
- The electronic ballast offers interesting cost savings, such as a reduction in
energy consumption of about 25%, a substantial extension of the lamp life
up to 50% and thus a lowering of maintenance costs.
- Application of electronic ballasts adds to the comfort in numerous ways:
no cathode flicker occurs; at the end of lamp life the lamp is automatically
switched off; smooth and rapid starting is ensured without flickering; and
no stroboscopic effects can arise due to the high frequency at which the
lamps are operated.
- Extra safety is assured through over-voltage detection, protected control
of the mains voltage input and a noticeably lower operating temperature.
- Flexibility is enhanced: installations with fluorescent lamps, for instance,
are dimmable if a regulating ballast is selected, allowing for adjustment of
lighting levels to personal preference and the opportunity for additional
savings on energy, e.g. by daylight-linked lighting control.
Following the trend towards greater efficiency and comfort, some of the
newer fluorescent lamps like all TL5 and high-wattage PL-L types will
operate only on electronic control gear.
Philips offers four options when selecting high-frequency ballasts for
fluorescent lamps: EB-Economy for situations with infrequent on-and off
switching; HF-Performer and EB-Standard where the demands are greater;
HF-Regulator for areas where there is frequent dimming; HF-Regulator
Touch and DALI for easy operation and working in accordance with the
DALI Protocol.
- HF-Regulator Touch and DALI:
Electronic regulating ballast for TL5, PL-L and TL-D lamps. The high-
frequency regulating ballasts permit light output regulation down to 3% of
the DALI control input or Touch and Dim push button protocol.
- HF-Regulator (HFR):
Electronic regulating ballast for TL5, PL-L and TL-D lamps. These high-
frequency regulating ballasts permit light output regulation down to 3% of
the maximum light output by the 1-10 V control input. Up to 60%
reduction in energy consumption can be achieved by using automatic
lighting control systems like Luxsense or Multisense. All Philips
HF-Regulator electronic ballasts are fitted with alpha-control.
This dedicated integrated circuit ensures that lamp life is unaffected by
the dimming position; that lamp burning is stable in every dimming
position; and that energy savings are maximised when dimming.
1. Visible profile ceilings
In this very common system, profiles are
always visible. Ceiling tiles rest on the
profiles and are in most cases made from a
mineral material.
The two standard module sizes are
300 mm and 312,5 mm.
The most popular tiles in this type of ceiling
are for ceiling grids of 600x600 mm and
600x1200 mm. In this type of ceiling,
luminaires will be mounted as an inlay.
Applications
These ceiling types are usually used when
electrical wiring, LANs and other technical
installations are hidden behind the ceiling.
Also in this application the ceiling should
contribute to the acoustic environment.
All Philips recessed luminaires are suitable
for this kind of ceiling.

False ceilings
Ceiling types introduction
Today, architects and building contractors can choose from an enormous
variety of ceiling systems, especially ones designed for offices and other
general applications. Use of climate ceilings (cooled) is growing.
The four main standard ceiling types are:
1. Visible profile ceilings
2. Concealed profile ceilings
3. Strip ceilings
4. Panel ceilings
Obviously, there are small differences between ceiling types, but the
application of luminaires and the accessories you will need for mounting
them are the same for all the systems.
The four standard system types discussed here represent the vast majority
of ceiling systems currently available. Also real projectmade plaster ceilings
are used more and more and seen as aesthetical pleasing solutions. If you
decide to use another type of system, contact your Philips organisation and
they will inform you about the options in your specific situation. If no
standard solution is available, a special solution in the luminaire concept can
be discussed.
Ceiling tile materials
Different ceiling types use panels or tiles of different materials. The most
popular materials are:
Mineral (hard and soft)
These are produced in thicknesses between 14 and 20 mm. Mineral tiles are
usually painted and always mechanically vulnerable. Acoustic qualities of
these types of ceilings are reasonable.
Plaster
Plaster ceilings are usually 10-15 mm thick and are non-removable ceilings. If
recessed luminaires are to be used in this kind of ceiling an opening has to
be cut out before mounting the luminaire.
Metal
Metal is used in tiles, strips and/or panels. In some cases they are perforated
and have a sound-insulating layer on top.This layer helps to create good
acoustic quality. Recessed luminaires are usually designed so that they can
replace a complete ceiling tile.

2. Concealed profile ceilings
In this type of ceiling, the profiles are
covered by the tile and are not visible.
Tiles are made from a mineral type of
material or metal. In these types of
systems, suspension brackets are always
needed.
3. Strip ceilings
This ceiling system consists of main carriers
on which metal strips are clicked. They have
various widths. Luminaires are usually
mounted in line with the strips and
perpendicular to the main carriers. In that
case, a length profile mounted to the side of
the luminaire is required, or suspension
brackets at the head of the luminaire when
the luminaire fits in exactly between two
main carriers. (See figures)
Applications
Areas like corridors, airports, etc.
Fixation with ZBS300 CB Fixation with ZBS319 LP
4. Panel ceiling systems
The main carriers of these systems are
usually placed at the main building modules.
These are often 1200 or 1800 mm. Ceiling
panels are mounted between the main
carriers. In this type of ceiling, metal and
mineral panels are used.
If the distance between the main carriers
does not fit with the luminaire length these
luminaires can be lengthened so that they
can be mounted between the main carriers.
For profile A, the luminaire can be mounted
as an inlay. Safety brackets can be delivered
on request with the luminaire.
When profile B is used, brackets are
required and must be ordered separately.
Also a 100% copy of the ceiling tile can be
used with integrated luminaires.
Applications
Areas where removable partition walls are
used and acoustic performance of
highquality is required. In corridors each
panel can span the total width (e.g. 1.8 m).
If the light distribution of a luminaire is rotation-symmetrical, as with
downlights, spots and industrial high-bay luminaires, the light distribution
is expressed in only one C-plane (solid, blue line).
Note that for asymmetrical light distributions, two planes are not
sufficient for calculation purposes.Yet in the polar intensity diagram, only
two planes will be given, as is internationally accepted.
Cartesian intensity diagram
The cartesian intensity diagram is an alternative to the well-known polar
diagram. For luminaires with a very narrow rotationsymmetrical light
distribution, the polar diagram does not offer sufficient information.
Technical data
The technical data in this catalogue are limited to the main diagrams and
icons that indicate the beam character. For functional lighting design and
calculations, tables and diagrams such as the Utilisation Factor table, a
quantity estimation diagram for quick design, Unified Glare Rating (UGR)
information and (reflected) glare characteristics are available. For accent
lighting, the lighting design work is facilitated by tables and diagrams such as
the visual impact diagram and beam and isolux diagrams.
Several types of templates are available, containing all relevant photometric
data, depending on the type of luminaire and its application. In this section
each photometric diagram is explained in detail.

For each luminaire / lamp combination, a general impression of the light
beam is given on the product pages:

Polar intensity diagram
The polar intensity diagram provides a rough idea of the shape of the light
distribution of a luminaire. In the polar intensity diagram, the luminous
intensity is given in the form of a so-called polar diagram. The luminous
intensity is given in candela per 1000 lumen (cd/1000 lm) of the nominal
lamp flux of the lamps applied.
The diagram gives the light distribution in two planes:
- The continuous (blue) line:
In the vertical plane through the width axis of the luminaire, the
C0-C180 plane is indicated as:
- The dotted (red) line:
In the vertical plane through the length axis of the luminaire, the
C90-C270 plane is indicated as:
292 293
Information
Lighting technique Lighting technique
However, the luminous intensity graph in the cartesian intensity diagram
gives a much better indication of the beam shape. The luminous intensity in
the cartesian diagram is given in absolute candela values.Along the horizontal
axis the -values of the C-plane are given, while the vertical axis shows the
absolute intensity values in candela.
Utilisation factor table
Recessed mounted
The Utilisation Factor table enables the lighting designer to determine the
number of luminaires required, or to calculate the illuminance realised with
a certain lighting installation. Although a lot of calculation work has been
taken over by computer, the Utilisation Factor table is still a handy tool for
lighting designers. The Utilisation Factor (UF) of a lighting installation
represents the percentage of the luminous flux of the lamp(s) that reaches
the defined working plane in the room, which has to be seen as the
efficiency of the lighting installation. The Utilisation Factor
depends on:
- light distribution of the luminaire
- luminaire efficiency
- reflection of ceiling, walls and floor/working plane of the room
- room index k
The room index k represents the geometrical ratio of the room, and can be
expressed as:
k =
L + W
Hwp ( L + W)
Where:
L = length of the room (m)
W = width of the room (m)
Hwp = height or vertical distance between the luminaires
and the working plane
Lumen method:
The UF can be looked up in the table for a range of values of the room
index k and a number of reflection value combinations. After determining
the UF for the specific layout for a luminaire, the number of luminaires for a
specific illumination level can be calculated with the formula:
N =
E x A
F x UF x MF
Alternatively, knowing the number of luminaires, the resulting illuminance
can be calculated with the formula:
EAV =
F x N x UF x MF
A
Where:
N = required number of luminaires
EAV = specified average illuminance in lux
Fn = nominal lamp flux per luminaire (lumen)
UF = utilisation factor
MF = maintenance factor
A = surface area of the room (m
2
)
Quantity estimation diagram
The quantity estimation diagram gives a quick insight into the number of
luminaires that will be needed to reach the desired illuminance in a room.
The diagram gives the number of luminaires of one type needed for
different lighting levels, as a function of the area to be illuminated. Three
different diagrams exist.They are based on three fixtures mounting heights
(2.8, 6 or 9 m, depending on the typical application,) and are made for fixed
reflection factors, as indicated in the diagram.The quantity estimation
diagram should only be used when the luminaires are placed in a regular
pattern, in, on or suspended from the ceiling. For calculation purposes the
space to be illuminated is considered to be rectangular. The example shows
that if 750 lux is required in an area of 100 m
2
, 32 luminaires have to be
installed. The information from this diagram should be considered as a
guideline. For exact figures, the lumen method or computer calculations are
required.The maintenance factor used for this diagram is 1.0 but in practical
situations a real maintenance factor has to be taken into consideration.
Unified Glare Rating diagram (UGR)
The Unified Glare Rating is an indication of the direct glare perceived in a
certain space illuminated by artificial lighting. According to CEN (European
Committee for Standardisation) the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) should be
determined according to the CIE tabular method.
UGR is given in 5 classes (UGR= 16, 19, 22, 25 and 28; the lower the UGR,
the less direct glare is perceived from the total of the luminaires in the
installation). As the CIE tabular method does not give a quick insight into
the UGR characteristics of a specific installation, Philips Lighting has
developed the UGR diagram.
For each installation with one type of luminaire, the UGR value to be
expected in the application can be determined from this diagram.
Note that the UGR values are given for two viewing directions to the
luminaire, endwise and crosswise, and that the UGR might vary depending
on the size of the space under consideration. The highest UGR value
determines the quality of the installation. In the UGR diagram the UGR is
represented for the specified height and reflection factors.
Visual ambience diagram
Downlights are often used for general lighting.Applying downlights, very
attractive lighting with high contrast can be realised, but also diffuse uniform
lighting.This very much depends on the light distribution of the specific
downlight.
The visual ambience diagram gives information on:
- The spacing between the downlights required to obtain a certain average
illuminance level at a specific mounting height.
- The uniformity of the chosen lighting solution for different horizontal
planes.
Spacing:
At the horizontal top axis, the average horizontal illuminance level is given
(800, 400, 200, 100 and 50 lux). For each illuminance two curved lines are
visible in the diagram:
- the left curve is valid for a small room with 4 x 4 luminaires in a square
arrangement.
- the right curve is valid for a large room with 10 x 10 luminaires in a
square arrangement.
For narrow-beam luminaires the differences between the small-room
luminaire arrangement and the large-room installation are minor, resulting in
one curved line only.
The distance between the luminaire and the reference plane, on which the
average horizontal illuminance is calculated, is indicated on the left vertical
axis.
The luminaire spacing to obtain the selected horizontal illuminance at the
specified distance from the ceiling can be found on the lower horizontal
axis.
Uniformity:
The resulting uniformity for the selected spacing can be read from the
diagram for various horizontal planes. The uniformity is defined as
Emin /Emax. Three straight sloping lines in the diagram indicate three uniformity
values: 0.1, 0.3 and 0.6. The uniformity determines the lighting effect that
will be obtained:
- Emin /Emax > 0.6 (in the diagram below the 0.6 uniformity line). The
arrangement of downlights creates diffused, uniform lighting, and so a
functional lighting ambience.
- 0.1 < Emin /Emax < 0.6 (in the diagram in between the 0.6 and 0.1
uniformity lines). The arrangement of downlights creates a lighting
ambience that varies from lively to very contrasting.
- Emin /Emax < 0.1 (in the diagram above the 0.1 uniformity line).
The arrangement of downlights results in a non-uniform horizontal
illuminance. The effect of the individual luminaires is clearly visible on the
horizontal surface.
In practice, it is important to check uniformity not only on the working
plane, but also at different heights, for example at eye level. If the resulting
uniformity is not in accordance with to the requirements of the application,
another type of luminaire should be selected.
Isolux diagram
The isolux diagram shows the illuminated area for rotationally symmetrical
light distributions by means of isolux curves.
The horizontal illuminance is indicated in relation to the distance (vertical
and horizontal) to the luminaire.
The shape of the isolux curves is dependent on the beam spread of the
luminaire.

offers the user information on:
- the resulting illuminance at the beam centre. (E0)
- the diameter of the area in which the illuminance is better or equal to
50% of the illuminance E0.
- the diameter of the area in which the luminous intensity is better or
equal to 50% of Imax, the intensity in the beam centre.

Visual impact diagram
The visual impact diagram is a tool to determine the effect of accent lighting
by means of the accent factor.
The accent factor is defined as:Accent Factor = Espot/Ehorizontaal

For more detailed information on the Accent Factor see the relevant
section in this chapter.
With the visual impact diagram, the accent lighting effect of a projector can
be determined as a function of the average horizontal illuminance and the
distance from the projector to the object.
The visual impact diagram can be used in two ways:
- It can determine the distance from projector to object to achieve specific
accent factor at a given horizontal illuminance. Example (see solid line in
diagram): an accent factor of 10 (theatrical) at a horizontal illuminance of
300 lux is realised at a distance from projector to object of 4 metres.
- It can determine the accent factor when the horizontal illuminance and
the distance from projector to object are given. Example (see dashed line
in diagram): at a horizontal illuminance of 500 lux with distance from
projector to object of 2 metres, an accent factor of approx. 30 (dramatic)
is realised.
Beam diagram
The beam diagram shows the characteristics of the light beam produced by
the luminaire / lamp combination (projectors, downlights, reflector lamps,
fibre-optic terminations).The diagram gives the Visual Beam Angle (VBA),
the beam spread angle (
1
/2 Imax) and the sharpness of the contour as
indicated by the K value.
Additionally, it offers the user information about the diameter of the visual
light patch and the diameter of the area whose boundary has a luminous
intensity equal to 50% of the maximum value.
These diameters are available for a range of vertical distances below the
luminaire. The illuminance in the centre of the beam (E0) is available for the
same range of vertical distances below the luminaire.
The VBA specifies the angle at which the contour of the beam is clearly
visible. In contrast to the beam spread angle, the VBA reflects what is
perceived when looking at the visual light patch.
The beam-spread angle (
1
/2 Imax) reflects the angle over which the luminous
intensity drops to 50% of its peak value. The beam-spread angle does not
reflect the visual appearance of the visual light patch.

Lighting technique
Lighting of workstations with Display Screen Equipment (DSE)
Glare and glare-reducing techniques are important aspects in interior and
especially in office and industrial lighting. Since the 1970s the lighting
industry and standardisation institutes have developed various methods to
evaluate glare.Additional to this, the lighting industry has developed
advanced optical techniques to reduce the glare to required levels. However
a clear distinction should be made between:
- Direct glare
- Reflected glare cause by a combination of a bright source and reflection
in a polished surface. (See drawing.)
Standards in lighting are developed to define both. In the 1970s methods
were developed to standardise the direct glare restrictions. With the
introduction of computer screens, especially early models, there were highly
reflective dark screens which gave rise to problems in office environments.
Subsequently, methods to analyse reflected glare in computer screens have
been developed for direct lighting.
Direct lighting uses luminaires designed to emit the majority of their light
output directly onto the working plane. Direct luminaires can be surface-
mounted, recessed into the ceiling or suspended.They are generally viewed
as individually lit objects in the space, and for this reason can appear as a
distinct and distracting object when reflected on a display screen.
If the screen displays light characters (words and numbers, etc) on a dark
screen background, (as originally the case with the firstgeneration VDUs) the
reflected image will be seen against this dark background. However, if the
information is displayed with dark characters on a light background, the
reflections will be less visible against the lighter background. Most modern
screens and user software programs today are set like this. To avoid glare
problems, CEN established luminance limits for luminaires, for typical screen
qualities.These are shown in Table 1.
Note:
a) The appropriate (CEN) luminance limit for luminaires can be selected when
the nature of the screens and software to be used is known. If this
information is unknown or subject to doubt, the lower limit of 200 cd/m2
should be selected.
b) The DSE and, in some circumstances the keyboard, may suffer from
reflections causing disability and/or discomfort glare. It is therefore necessary
to select, locate and arrange the luminaires to avoid high brightness
reflections. The designer should determine the mounting zone causing
disturbance, then choose equipment and plan mounting positions which will
cause no disturbing reflections.
Luminaire luminance limits with downward flux
Table 1 gives the limits of the average luminaire luminance at elevation
angles of 65 and above from the downward vertical, radially around the
luminaires for workplaces where display screens, which are vertical or
inclined up to 15 tilt angle, are used.
Note:
For certain special places using, for example sensitive screens or variable
inclination, these illuminance limits should be applied for lower elevation angles
(e.g. 55) of the luminaire.

5. Very dramatic effect (Factor 50:1).

Accent factor
The visual effect when highlighting an object is determined by two things:
the contrast between the object and its surrounding background, this is
called contrast; and, the shadow effects in the object itself caused by the
form of object and the position of the spotlight, this is called modelling. The
main lighting characteristics of light sources to achieve the required contrast
are the size and the sharpness of the contour of the visual beam. In a first
approximation, the contrast between an object lit by a projector and its
surrounding background is given by the ratio Eobject /Ebackground. In most diffuse
general lighting schemes, Ebackground is closely related to Ehorizontal. When planning
accent lighting, it is important to determine the required effect or accent
factor, which may vary from noticeable to very dramatic. The issue is the
relationship between the amount of general lighting in the direct vicinity of
the object and the brightness of the spot on the object. It is calculated by
dividing the lighting level in the spot by the general lighting level in the
horizontal plane, approximately 1 metre above the floor in the direct vicinity
of the object.
Accent factor =
Lighting level in the spot (on illuminated object)
General lighting level (horizontal plane)
To obtain satisfactory effects in situations where the level of general
lighting is high, powerful accent lighting should be used.

Lighting technique
K1 is a profile spot without any spill
light; this effect is achieved by
equipping the luminaire with a
mechanical or optical device that cuts
off the spill light; in this way, beams of
different shapes can be produced.
This classification can have high- or
low-intensity beams, depending on the
power and efficiency of the system.
K2 is a spot which stands out due to
its sharp shift to a minimal amount of
spill light; this type of beam is
excellent for creating theatrical and
dramatic effects.
This classification is usually associated
with very high-intensity beams.
K3 has a hard shift from a high-
intensity spot to spill light; the spill
light is seen as a narrow ring of light
around the spot.
This classification is usually associated
with high-intensity beams which are
very suitable for creating theatrical
effects.
K4 has a soft shift from a relatively
strong spot to a great deal of spill
light; the spill light assists considerably
in lighting the general surroundings.
K5 is a uniformly wide beam without
any visible spot and is, as a result,
suited to general or supplementary
lighting.
Beam characteristics K-beam categories
Accent lighting requires a controlled beam of light, obtained by a lamp and a
reflector, which in many cases is integrated into the lamp itself. The ultimate
effect is largely determined by the characteristics of the beam. The
important factors are the intensity, the shape and the dimensions of the
spotlight created by the beam and the amount of spill light. Spill light is the
amount of light that is allowed to spread outside the actual beam.
A 'hard-edged' beam is a light beam with little or no spill light and gives a
sharply defined contrast. It lends itself to very dramatic lighting effects.
A 'soft-edged' beam has a higher degree of spill light and will result in a
lower contrast with the surrounding area. The effects are much softer than
those obtained with a hard-edged beam. To help you make the right
selection, Philips has a special classification for its reflector lamps and
lamp/reflector combinations, identifying five socalled K-beam factors. The
final effect is, of course, influenced by the contrast between the ambient
lighting and the lighting intensity of the beam.
Identifying the five K-beam categories
The illustrations here give a good impression of the effects of the various
types of light beams identified by the Philips K-beam classification.The
relevant light beam creates these effects only, without any supplementary
lighting.

Road lighting
The luminous intensity distribution of a road lighting or a residential area
lighting luminaire is presented in the form of a polar diagram. The diagram
gives one, two or threee curves for the intensity in cd/1000 lm in vertical
planes called C planes:
- For rotationally symmetrical light distributions one curve is given,
representing the distribution in all C planes. The curve is drawn as a solid
line.
- For distributions with a maximum intensity in a plane perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis of the luminaire, two curves are given: one for the
vertical plane through the longitudinal axis of the luminaire, called the C90
and C270 plane (broken line curve), and one for the plane perpendicular to
that axis, called the C0 and C180 plane (solid line curve).
- For distributions with a maximum intensity in the plane between the
plane through the lonitudinal axis of the luminaire and the plane
perpendicular to that longitudinal axis, threee curves are given: one ofr
the plane through the longitudinal axis of the luminaire, called the C90 and
C270 plane (broken line curve), one for the plane perpendicular to that
axis, called the C0 and C180 plane (solid line curve), and one for the plane
containing the maximum intensity, called the C[m] plane (dotted line
curve).
It is supposed that the longitudinal axis of the luminaire is perpendicular to
the road axis.
If the luminaire has no apparent longitudinal axis, it may be possible to take
the longitudinal axis of the lamp (PL-L or TL-D).
The polar diagram is given for a tilt of the luminaire of 0.
LVX999999999 is an internal Philips code referring to the origin of the
photometric data.
The utilization factor hE represents the fraction of the luminous flux of the

In the utilization factor diagram, the utilization factor is given as a function of
the road width, expressed as a multiple of the luminaire mounting height.
A quick and easy way to calculate the average horizontal illuminance for a
straight road alongside which the luminaires are equally spaced, is by using
the utilization factor curve diagram in conjunction with the following
formula:

h . L . n . M
.
Where
EH = average horizontal illuminance
E = utilisation factor
L = luminous flux of the lamp
n = number of lamps per luminaire
MF = maintenance factor
W = width of the road
S = spacing between the luminaires
The utilisation factor diagram is given for a luminaire tilt of 0.
In most cases the luminaires are slightly tilted, and this affects the calculation
result somewhat.
The luminance yield
Represents the efficiency in creating luminance on a road surface, as
determined by the light distribution of the luminaire, the reflection
properties of the surface and the position of the observer.
The reference surface used in this catalogue has reflection properties
according to class R3 of publicatin C.I.E. 66.
Lighting Schemes
The lighting schemes give the lighting results for three types of installations.
The types of installation are as follows:
1. Single left
2. Single sided right
3. Staggered
4. Central suspended
5. Central twin bracket
6. Central catenary
The lighting results are given for 5 combinations of mounting heights and
spacings, with zero overhang.
The observer position used for this catalogue is at a distance equal to the
mounting height, to the right (street side) of the row of luminaires. In the
luminance yield diagram, the luminance yield is given as a function of the
width of the road expressed as a multiple of the mounting height of the
luminaire. A quick and easy way to calculate the average luminance at a
fixed observer position, of a straight road with a surface according to class
R3, alongside which the luminaires are equally spaced, is by using the
luminance yield curve in conjunction with the following formula:
L

Flood lighting
The luminous intensity distribution of a floodlight is presented in the form of
a cartesian diagram.
The diagram gives curves for the luminous intensity in cd/1000 lm in one
planes or in two mutually perpendicular planes.
For floodlights in which the axis of the lamp is perpendicular to the front of
the floodlight, the curves are given for one plane throug the axis of the
lamp.
For floodlights in which the axis of the lamp is perpendicular to the front of
the floodlight, the curves are given for two mutually perpendicular planes:
- The main or K J plane (solid line curve); a plane perpendicular to the
front of the floodlight and perpendicular to the axis of the lamp, passing
through the light-centre of the lamp. The angles to the horizontal axis of
the cartesian diagram for the K J plane are relative to the perpendicular
to the front of the floodlight. The angles on the K side of the
perpendicular to the front of the floodlight are negative; the angles on the
J side are positive.*
- The LM plane (broken line curve); a plane perpendicular to the main
plane and containing the maximum luminous intensity of the main plane.
The angles to the horizontal axis of the cartesian diagram for the LM
plane are relative to the intersection line of the LM and K J planes.
The angles on the L side of the perpendicular are negative; the angles on
the M side are positive.
Imax in the K J plane is such an important design criteriion that the value is
printed explicitly at the top of the diagram, together with the angle between
the direction of Imax and the perpendicular to the front of the floodlight.
The widths of the beam in the two planes are given by the angles of the
directions of the
1
/2 Imax intensities; to the perpendicular to the front of the
floodlight in the K J plane, and to the intersection line of the K J plane and
the LM plane, respectively.
Angles on the right side of the cartesian diagram are positive, angles on the
left side are negative.

Innovative OLC optics
All-round glare control with OLC optics
OLC stands for Omnidirectional Luminance Control - all-round glare
control. These optics (TL-5: C7, D7, M7, C7H, D7H, M7H; TLD: C6, D6,
M6) combine optimum luminance efficacy and light distribution with
excellent all-round glare control.
The computer-designed shape of the side reflectors and the 3-dimensional
lamellae with Fresnel structure on the upper side, made from high-grade
aluminium, have given rise to new optical qualities:
All round glare control in accordance with the standard (EN 12464)
(average luminance 200 or 1000 cd/m

These optical features create comfortable and highly efficient office lighting:
Flexible office design due to all-round glare control, computer displays
can be positioned anywhere in the room without any disruptive reflected
glare
Thanks to the high light output ratios, the lighting is very costeffective
The DELTA-shaped light distribution ensures uniform lighting, even in the
case of wider luminaire spacing
No disturbing (patch) luminances for glare, guarantees a high level of

Optics to suit all requirements
The 'optic' in a luminaire is the reflector and/or refractor system that
controls the light direction and beam pattern of the luminaire.
It is an essential control device. Not surprisingly then, Philips offers many
different types of optics, each one designed to perform a specific function.
But which optic is best for the particular situation at hand?
The function of the area to be illuminated and the task to be
performed usually determine the optic and luminaire you need, while
the ceiling system often determines the dimensions of the luminaire.
However, the luminaire-optic combination must fulfil the lighting
requirements for each specific area.
The number of lamps and the optic selection depends on the importance of
the task to be performed in the area, and the area's dimensions.
In addition, other requirements, such as image, efficiency and aesthetics, will
influence the decision.
Glare control
Glare is one important factor which often influences the performance of
lighting.There are in general two aspects described in the European standard
EN12464-1. (See page 14 and page 17 lighting for workstations with display
screen equipment).

What is Calculux?
Calculux is a powerful analysis, simulation, and system selection software
package:
You can use Calculux to simulate real lighting situations and analyse
different lighting installations until you find the solutions which suits your
technical as well as your financial and aesthetic requirements best.
Calculux not only uses luminaires from an extensive Philips database, but
can also use photometry, which is stored in the Philips Phillum external
format.
Simple menus, logical dialogue boxes and a step-by-step approach helps
you to find the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for your lighting
applications.
What you can do with Calculux Road?
Specify and calculate Standard Road Lighting Schemes for which
predefined calculations are set in a Profile. Profiles are lighting class and
national recommendations dependent.
Specify, within the Profile, the lighting requirements and save them to a
file for use in future road projects.
Within the Profile, you can set the calculation Grid Method (which
determines how the calculation points are put onto the road and
surroundings,) based on local standards, European norms and
international recommendations (CIE, DIN, CEN, CIBSE, etc.).
You can specify road Schemes, optimising individual or multiple Schemes
based on the installation parameters, to give the best installation
specifications within the Profile requirements.
Calculate a wide range of quality figures covering almost all-existing
national and international recommendations.
Select luminaires from an extensive Philips database or from specially
formatted files for luminaires from other suppliers.
Perform lighting calculations on areas not directly related to the main
road (e.g. on the footpath or the front of a house).
Specify, separately from the main Scheme, additional rows of luminaires
parallel to the main road.
Specify maintenance factors.
Possibility to import and export Autocad files.
Compile reports displaying results in text and graphical formats. Display a
summary of the Schemes, a detailed summary, the chosen calculation
presentation formats of one specified Scheme and/or the results of the
different Schemes.
It enables all the lighting quality figures, according to national or
international recommendations, commonly used in road lighting to be
specified and calculated. The required lighting parameters and related
calculation areas can be redefined in a requirement profile. In this profile
its also possible to define the limits for the quality figures. Therefore a
profile consists of Profile Options and Profile Requirements.
The Calculux Road package comes with a number of predefined profile
requirement sets.
Calculux Road is designed for single and dual carriageways. Within the
set-up parameters, the program already predefines the carriageways. For
instance, when a dual carriageway is selected, the out-lines of the
carriageway are automatically generated together with the calculations
and calculation method as set in the profile.
In the Schemes Editor the program calculates, compares and optimizes in
the different Schemes.
The road is defined by setting the following parameters: Type of road
single or dual carriageway)
Central reserve
Road width
Number of lanes
Road reflection table
Q0 of road reflection table
Calculux Road supports the following standard installations for the
luminaires allocation:
Single sided left
Single sided right
Opposite
Staggered

Specification data lamps
Colour characteristics of lamps
Lamps do not all emit light of the same colour.There is, for example, a
striking difference between the pronounced amber light from standard
sodium lamps, and the white light from most other lamps. Even then, one
white light is not the same as another. To select the proper light source for
their colour characteristics, two parameters are important: the colour
temperature of the emitted light and the colour rendering.
Colour temperature
The colour of the light has an important influence on the colour impression
of the area, the colour temperature of the light source plays an essential
role. Light is popularly termed cool or warm. However, to enable an
objective comparison of the colour impressions from various sources,
subjective impressions such as these are inadequate. A precise scale is
required, and this is given by the term correlated colour temperature; the
colour gradation of the light is compared with the light emitted by an
intensely heated iron bar of which the temperature is known. In this way, the
light colour can be specified by a value in Kelvin (K).
Four categories, as a practical guideline, are:
2500 - 2800 K.Warm/Cosy.
The colour from incandescent lamps, the fluorescent and compact
fluorescent lamps in the colours /827 and /927 and the SDW-T White SON
lamp. Generally used for intimate and cosy environments where the
emphasis is on a peaceful relaxing ambience.
2800 - 3500 K.Warm/Neutral.
The colour from halogen lamps, colour /830 and /930 fluorescent lamps and
MASTER Colour /830 lamps. Used in places where people are active,
requiring a welcoming comfortable ambience.
3500 - 5000 K. Neutral/Cool.
The light colour from /840 and /940 fluorescent lamps as well as MASTER
Colour /942 and MHN metal halide lamps. Usually applied in commercial
areas and offices where a look of cool efficiency is desired.
5000 K and above. Daylight.
Daylight and cool daylight.The light colour that best matches natural
daylight, such as fluorescent colours /850, /865, /950 and /965.
Colour rendering
It is often assumed that once a colour temperature has been chosen, the
colour impression is determined. This is not the case. The colour impression
is not solely determined by the colour temperature of the light source, but
also by the colour rendering properties. Moreover, colour temperature and
colour rendering are completely separate parameters. Cool daylight and
incandescent lamps have fully natural colour rendering properties.The same
is true for halogen lamps. The reason for this is the continuous spectrum of
the sources. On the other hand, most gas discharge sources have an
interrupted or line spectrum.This has an influence of the quality of their
colour rendering properties, which varies from very poor (with SOX
lowpressure sodium gas discharge lamps) to excellent (with the colour /90
series fluorescent lamps and mastercolour /942 lamps).
In selecting a particular lamp type, a clear understanding of the colour
rendering properties is essential. A fair indication is given by the colour
rendering index (CRI), which is a standardized scale with 100 as maximum
value. Colours are best shown under a light source with the highest colour
rendering index. Incidentally, it is only worthwhile to compare CRI values of
lamps with similar colour temperature.
In practice, three categories are normally found.
CRI between Ra 90 and 100.
Excellent colour rendering properties.
Applications: mainly where correct colour appraisal is a critical task.
CRI between Ra 80 and 90.
Good colour rendering properties.
Applications: in areas where critical colour appraisal is not the primary
consideration but where good rendition of colours is essential.
CRI below Ra 80.
Moderate to poor colour rendering properties.
Applications: in areas where the quality of colour rendering is of minor
importance.
This classification is of course dependent upon the demands that a particular
application makes on a lamp. For example, an Ra of 60 is inadequate for
shop lighting, but is good for functional road lighting.

Colour temperature and colour rendering
Correct light colours and correct reproduction of colours assists us in
recognising our surroundings.The colour climate of an artificiallylit space is
determined by the light colour and the colour rendering. Room furnishings
of wood and fabrics in warm or pastel colours require warm lighting in the
colour /827 or /927.
The more business-like the interior are, the cooler the light can be.
Furniture using chromium, glass and marble, or in black and white, are
emphasised by the cool light colours /840 and /940.

Glossary of lighting terminology
Damage factor / Fading
Radiation in the form of light or heat can cause damage to objects or
merchandise being displayed.The extent of deterioration of objects upon
exposure to light, such as fading colours and disintegration of structure and
material, depends on:
- the sensitivity of the material and the capacity of the material to absorb
and be affected by radiant energy
- the illumination level
- the time of exposure to radiation
- the spectral composition of the radiation.
Having no classification for the sensitivity of materials related to the amount
of damage under a certain light source, the only indication which can be
given is the probable damage caused to an object. This method ignores the
spectral sensitivity of the object concerned, and only results in the relative
damage caused by one light source compared to another. Each light source
can be characterised by the damage factor DF, which yields the relative
damage caused by this source compared to other sources, provided the
illuminance and exposure times are constant.
The fading risk (FR) is the damage caused by one light source, calculated for
a certain period of time, relative to a reference.
A fading risk FR=160 is obtained in a worst-case situation, e.g. an object in
a shop window illuminated by bright sunshine (10,000 lux) for a period of 1
hour.
Example 1: the formula mentioned in the table for an illuminance of 500 lux,
realised with fluorescent lamps /830, results in a fading risk FR=2.
The fading of pigments occurs here 80 times slower than at the reference
FR=160, i.e. it is negligible.
Example 2: an accent projector produces 10,000 lux at a certain
display.Applying e.g. a MASTER Colour CDM lamp results in a fading risk
FR=40.
Light sources with more ultraviolet radiation, such as metal-halide lamps
without UV-filter or open halogen lamps, might, at high lighting levels, result
in damaging radiation.

Correction factor used in lighting design to compensate for the rate of
lumen depreciation, caused by lamp ageing (lumen depreciation and lamp
failures) and dirt accumulation (luminaire and environment). It determines
the maintenance cycle needed to ensure that illuminance does not fall
below the maintained value.
MASTER Colour CDM
Series of metal-halide discharge lamps with excellent colour rendering and a
warm or neutral colour impression. MASTER Colour lamps are applied in
projectors and downlights in shop and office applications.
Mercury lamps
High-intensity discharge lamps for use in industry and large public spaces.
Metal-halide lamps
Single- or double-ended discharge lamps for use in industry, public spaces
and shops. Metal-halide lamps combine a natural white colour with a
pleasant light and a high luminous intensity.
Mounting height
The distance between the reference plane and the lane of the luminaires.
Movement detection
To control lighting in a specific area, sensing of occupancy by movement
detection ensures lights are activated only when needed.
Non-maintained emergency lighting
Emergency lighting where the emergency lighting lamps come into operation
only when the power supply to normal lighting fails.
Obtrusive light
Spill light which because of quantitative, directional and spectral attributes in
a given context, gives rise to annoyance, discomfort, distraction or a
reduction in the ability to see essential information.
OLC
Omnidirectional Luminance Control, a Philips-patented series of optics for
TL5 and TL-D lamps offering optimal lighting efficiency in combination with
excellent glare and luminance control all around the luminaire.
PL
Single-ended fluorescent lamp in which the discharge tube is folded to two,
four or six limbs. PL lamps are characterised by unusually high light output
for length. PL lamps are to be applied in compact luminaires for professional
and domestic use.
Power factor
The ratio of the circuit power in watts to the product of the rootmean-
square values of voltage and current. For sinusoidal waveforms, it is equal to
the cosine of the angle of phase difference between voltage and current. For
electronic ballasts the power factor is 0.95; no extra compensation is
required.
QL
See Induction lighting.
SDW-T
White SON or SDW-T lamps offer a high luminous efficacy in combination
with a warm white light.The colour rendering is excellent. SDW-T lamps are
applied in shops and public spaces where the atmosphere should be warm
and cosy.
Sky glow
The brightening of the night sky that results from the reflection of radiation
(visible and non-visible), scattered from the constituents of the atmosphere
(gas molecules, aerosols and particulat matter, in the direction of
observation. It comprises two separate components as follows:
a. Natural sky glow: That part of the sky glow which is attributable to
radiation from celestial sources and luminescent processes in the earths
upper atmosphere.
b. Man-made sky glow: That part of sky glow whihc is attributable to man-
made sources of radiation (e.g. outdoor electric lighting), including
radiation that is emitted directly upwards and radiation that is reflected
from the surface of the earth.
Spill light (stray light)
Light emitted by a lighting installation which falls outside the boundaries of
the site for which the lighting installation is designed.
Starter
Device for starting a discharge lamp (in particular a fluorescent lamp) that
provides the necessary preheating of the electrodes and/or causes a voltage
surge in combination with the series ballast.
Switching and dimming control
As more and more light sources can be economically dimmed, lighting
controls need to provide both switching and dimming capabilities.
Threshold increment (TI)
The measure of disability glare expressed as the percentage increase in the
contrast required between an object and its background for it to be seen
equally well with a source of glare present.
Note: Higher values of TI corresponds to greater disability glare.
TL5
Linear double-ended fluorescent lamp with a diameter of only 16 mm. In
combination with OLC optics and high-frequency ballasts, the TL5 system
offers a superb performance, both light-technically and in terms of energy
consumption.
TL-D
Linear standard double-ended fluorescent lamp with a diameter of 26 mm.
Uniformity ratio
The ratio between the minimum and the average illuminance over an area
(Emin/Eave). If so defined, the uniformity ratio is the ratio between the
minimum and the maximum illuminance over a specified surface (Emin/Eave).
Utilisation Factor
The Utilisation Factor (UF) of a lighting installation represents the
percentage of the luminous flux of the lamp(s), that reaches the defined
working plane. The UF can be seen as the efficiency of the lighting
installation.The UF is used to calculate the number of luminaires required.
Vertical illuminance
Illuminance on the vertical surface
2
Symbol Evert
Visual guidance
The sum of the measures taken to give the user of a space an unambiguous
and immediately recognisable picture of the course of the path ahead.Visual
guidance is important in shops and public buildings.
The lighting designer takes the demands for visual guidance into
consideration.
Visual performance
The quantiative assessment of the visual system in the performance of a
visual task.
