• Maxima and Minima
• Recommendations as to “Gauge” (Max, Min, Ave)

New Illuminance Determination Procedure: Adaptation
• Research in Visual Performance at Mesopic Adaptation

under illuminances of different spectra
–Realistic and simulated tasks
–Reaction time measurements
–Mesopic adaptation states
–Various spectra
• Photometry Based on Intermediate (mesopic) v( )

Functions Predicts Reaction Times
Scotopic Adaptation
Luminance < 0.001 cd/m2
Mesopic Adaptations
0.001 cd/m2 < Luminance < 10 cd/m2
Photopic Adaptation
Luminance > 10 cd/m2
• Adaptation State
–Expressed as a Photopic Luminance
• Spectrum
–Expressed as a Ratio of Scotopic to Photopic Lumens
• The New Handbook recommends the Average Photopic

Luminance in the Field of View be used to Determine the
State of Adaptation
• The New Handbook recommends that the Spectrum be

specified by its S/P
• S/P: Ratio of Scotopic to Photopic Lumens

–A single number that indicates the relative amount of
short wavelength optical radiation in a spectrum S( )
Scotopic Lumens 1700  S( ) v’()d
–S/P = =
Photopic Lumens 683  S( ) v()d
• The New Handbook recommends the use of Mesopic

Multipliers to Scale Photopic Recommended Illuminances
–Multipliers depend on adaptation state
–Multipliers depend on spectrum, as expressed by S/P
–Multipliers provide the transformation (scaling) from
mesopic to photopic photometry
–All analyses uses only photopic photometry
Luminance (0.03)
Source S/P (1.81)
Recommendation
multiplier (0.70)
• Mesopic Multipliers can be used to:

–Determine how the State of Adaptation and
–The Spectrum of the Proposed Lighting System
–Modify a Photopic Recommended Illuminance
• Mesopic Multipliers should NOT be used to modify

Photopic Recommended Illuminances in Applications
where Vehicular Traffic Moves at Speeds > 40 kph (25
mph)
Determining a Mesopic Multiplier Requires Estimating the

Adaptation Luminance
The Average Luminance in the Field of View can be Used as
the Adaptation Luminance.
Recall that if a surface is diffusely reflective with a

reflectance of ρ and enjoys an average illuminance of E,
then its average luminance L is:

LE

If the illuminance is in lux, the luminance will be
candela/m2
If Other Information is not Available, it is Reasonable to

Assume that:
–The photopic illuminance recommendation, Erec, will
be produced by a proposed lighting system
–Thus, the average surface illuminance will be the
recommended photopic illuminance, Erec
–The average surface luminance will be

L  Erec

•The Adaptation Luminance Depends on How Much of the

Field of View the Surface Fills
–A parking garage floor that fills ½ the field of view
–The other ½ of the field is assumed to be the dark sky
with a luminance of essentially zero
–This would produce an adaptation luminance, La, of
1 1 
La  L  Erec
2 2 
•For Multiple Surfaces, the Average Luminance Depends

on the Luminance and Apparent Size of Each
–The full field of view is 5 steradians in solid angle
–If, for example, there are 3 surfaces with luminances
L1, L2, and L3, and
– 1 , 2 , 3 are the solid angles subtended to the
observer by the surfaces,
–then the adaptation luminance, La, is
L1 1  L2  2  L3 3
La 

•Most of us will probably let Lighting Calculation Software

make these calculations for us
