The term is used in ‘a positive sense and implies that all brightness should contribute favourably to visual performance, visual comfort, ease of secing, safety and acsthetics for the a visual task involved. diffusion, direction, uniformity, ‘colour, luminance and luminance ratios all have a significant effect on. ‘visibility and the ability to see easily, accurately and quickly. Certain seeing tasks such as discernment of fine details, require much more careful analysis and higher quality illumination than others. Areas where seeing tasks arc ‘severe and performed over long periods of time require much higher quality than where seeing tasks are casual or of rélatively short duration. 43.1 Direct Glare we 43.1.1 To reduce direct in industrial areas, the following stey should be taken: laren ind eas 8) Decrease the luminance of light sources or lighting equipment, or bb) Reduce the area of high luminance causing the glare condition; <)Inerete the angle betwen the lae sure and the ne of ios 4) Increase the Iuminanceof the area surrounding the glare source and against which itis cen. 43.412 There is such’ a wide divergence of tasks and environmental 5apts 1S + 6665-1972 conditions in industry that it may not be economically feasible to recom- mend a degree of quality which wil satily all cases. The luminance control required depends on the task, length of time in which the task is performed, and the mounting height of the luminaires. 43.2 Luminance and Luminance’ Ratios 43.2.1 Ratios — The ability, to seé/detail depends upon the contrast between the detail and its background, The greater the contrast, difference in luminance, the more readily, the seeing task is performed. However, the eyes function’ most comfortably, and. more efficiently when the luminances ‘within the remainder of the environment are relatively uniform. Therefore, all Juminances in the field of viey should be carefully controlled, ‘The re- commended procedure for planning brightness pattern and controlling glare is detailed in IS: 3646 (Part 1)-1966" and IS: 3646 (Part 11)- 19664. 43.2.2 To achieve the recommended luminance relationships, it is necessary to select the reflectances of all finishes of the room surfaces and juipment as well as control the luminance distribution. The recommended ‘efletance values for industrial interiors and equipment are given in Table 1. Reflectance should be maintained as near as practical 19 recommended ues.

DAYLIGHTING ‘ 6.1 Most people prefer to work in buildings having good daylighting. One AF the characterises of dayight which gives it ths appeal the obistant change both in quality and quantity, erating interest and avoiding mono- tony. This variation is taken into account when planning a scheme to ensure that at no time will the illumination over the working area be less than that recommended for the particular visual task. In some buildings it will be possible to achieve this by natural lighting alone, but in other buildin ‘specially those located in obstructed city areas, it will be necessary to supple- ment the natural lighting by artifical lighting designed to operate perma- nently during day time; this should be properly co-ordinated with natural lighting as recommended in 1S; 3646 (Part 1)-1966*. For detailed aspects of daylighting, reference may be made to YS: 2440-1968t and IS: 6060-19713. 62 The uniformity of illumination dill depend on the design of the fenestra- Non Sine thirs pat othe overall gi ste buldingtaay itor como into picture.

For areas where the depths of the rooms are much more than the height of the room, and windows may. be available at one or two sides only, it is necessary to bring up the lighting to a level necessary for the task. At the dark spots, supplementary lighting is required. 71.2.2 Brightness’ Considerations — The ye adapts itself to the prevailing brightness of the surroundings. The aia f brightness of the various sur- faces of objects will depend on this adaptation level, For instance, when a room interior is seen through an open dior from outside with bright daylight, it will ‘gloomy. But on entering'the room, after the eye has adapted, things will appear brighter. When’: room is lit by daylight the eye has a {iris high adaptation level due to-ths bright sky seen through the window ‘opening. ‘Therefore, the parts of theitvommiremote from the windows will appear gloomy ‘even if the illumination in’these parts in terms of lux is of the S normally recommended for the. type of visual task. Tt i, therefore, necessary to brighten up these paitsif'a proper balance of brightness is to be restored which will create comfortable visual environment. This second consideration is at least as important as the first while determining the amount of light to be supplied by the supplementary lighting "This Tequirement in some cases, may result in having higher levels of illumination than required for the particular visual task involved or higher than the amenity level. During night time since the entire area is illuminated to a level recommended for the satisfactory nce ofthe task carried out in the work area concerned, no additional problem of balance of brightness is, Jnvolved provided the general requirement of avoidance of high rightness ggutrast by having sulably Snihed sacs in the room is satisfied (see a. 1). 8, SUPPLEMENTARY LIGHTING, 8.1 Difficult secing tasks often require a specific amount or quality of light- ing which cannot readily be obtained by standard general lighting methods ‘To solve such problems supplementary: liipinaires often are used vo provide higher illumination levels for small or restricted areas. Also they are used to furnish a certain luminance, or colour;\9r to permit special aiming or posi- Honing of light sourees to froduce of, avoid Fighlighte or shadows to best portray the details ofthe tak (ee Fig: 2): 82 Before supplementary lighting can be specified it is necessary to recognise the exact nature ofthe Voual task and torunderstand its light reflect transmitting characteristics. An improvement in the visibility of the task wil18 + 6665 - 1972 depend upon one or more of ‘the fous! fmdamontal, visibility faetors— Tuminance, poor contrast, size ai tine fdilable for seeing, 83 The planning of supplementary fighting also entails consideration of the visual comfort of both those workers yi benefit direty and those whe are in the immediate areas. Supplementary equipment must be carefully shielded ‘to prevent glare for the user and ifs associates. Luminance ratios should be carefully controlled. Ratios between task and immediate surroundings should be limited as recommended tarlir. To attain these limits itis neces- tary to co-ordinate the design of supplementary and general lighting. 9, GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS OF DESIGN FOR LIGHTING INDUSTRIAL AREAS 91 The designer of an industrial lighting system should consider the follow- ing factors asthe first and important requirement of good planning: a) Determine the quantity and quality of illumination desirable for the ‘manufacturing processes involved b) Sclect lighting equipment that will provide the quantity and quality requirements by examining photometric characteristics, and mechanical ince that meet installation, oper actual maintenance conditions; ©) Select and arrange equipment so that it will be easy and practical to maintain; and Fo be 4) Balance all the econon{ft: factors including initial, operating and ‘maintenance costs, versigithe quantity and quality requirements for optimum visual The choice of the electricity distri- ution system may affect overall teonomics. 9.2 Types of Lighting Equipiishti.?? wt ‘The manner in which: oe ight fom. es amps is conerale ythe ng equipment governs, to'alarge extent, the important effects of glare, teadows atdution and elon 9.2.2 Most industrial applicafjpis call for either direct or semi-direct types.

Therefore, ventilated types of luminaires have proven their abilityto minimise maintenance of luminaires, 9.2.5 Special attention is required fo’ be paid to the selection of lighting equipment for industrial interiors with highly corrosive atmosphere or fre and explosion hazard [see also 18: 4013-1967*, 18: 4012-1967}, and 6 (Part 1)-19622]. Lighting fittings made of corrosion resistant material specially designed for orrsive'atinoyphere are to be selected for chemical ctories, fertilizer plants and other similar industries where corrosive fumes ate present in the atmosphere: For industil areas containing inflammable tust and gases, the choice of lighting equipment will be guided by relevant fadian SSndeed spectacnteas —? 10.

Where he lighting ean be integrated with natural shape and structure of the build- ing while still meeting the requirements of lighting effect on the working place, a better result can be achieved. The trend is noticeable in our country [i'mmany industrial buildings where instead of the conventional sawtoothed Tooled building on a rectangular plan, other designs like shelled roofing, etc, have been adopted. Close co-ordination between the architect and lighting engineer can result ina lighting installation which is in tune with the archi tectural form of the building and at the same time satisfactorily fulfils the primary funtion of supplying light on the work places. TP teas ope of the little depend TLZA Tn this type of construction there is very little dependence on day- dla eof stars GE vy Ue depen oe ‘quently the work layout is organized on considerations other than daylightin Sequirements, The artificial lighting has to be designed purely on the needs «etre of work layout of machinery, ete. Where fale ceiling fs provided, the lighting fittings may be recessed in the false ceiling giving a more stream: lined appearance to the whole installation (ce Fig. 4). 11.2.2 Generally a continuous mountitg of the fittings is to be preferred, in case of tubular fluorescent lamps fittings, to an arrangement of reflectors ‘at intervals since it gives a more restful view.

The artificial lighting has to be located at a greater height in the roof structure fo allow unobstructed manipulation of crane, etc (see Fig. 6). While for low and medium mounting height fluores- cent lighting is an immediate choice, for highbay lighting it may sometimes. be more advantageous to use less number of high lumen output sources like the high wattage mereury vapout/filament lamp combination or high wattage fluorescent coated meray yvnpour lamps. 11.3.2 Due to high mountingigii¢shorizontal illumination is much more than the vertical illumination, Ifthe lighting ito besmproved, its generally achieved by having additional fittings at & lower Height but fixed to the sides. ceneatlpne Hire 12, MAINTENANCE OF LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS 12.1 Regular maintenance of lightitig installations cannot be neglected with- ‘out prejudicing the level of illumihation and hence the benefits that proceed from good lighting.
