METHOD 2: COLOUR RENDITION
Color rendition is the term used to describe the degree to which

an object or surface color (walls, ceiling, furniture, workpiece)
seems "normal" when viewed under artificial light.

• Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is a measurement of the ability of colour
renditions. It is rated on a scale from 1-100. The lower the CRI rating, the less
accurate colours will be reproduced.
• Color rendering indexs of 70 and above are generally considered good, while CRI
values of 20 and below are considered poor.
• An object can appear different colours under different lights. If the products that
your business sells require accurate colour rendering, selecting the right light
source will be an important consideration.
• For normal lighting projects, the outdoor CRI range is RA70 to RA80, while the
indoor CRI is RA85 to RA90. But for special places, such as showrooms, printing
workshops, or any places that require high color renditions, the CRI index can
reach RA95 to RA98 or higher.

2 60 ≤ Ra < 80 Industrial buildings Offices. Schools
3 40 ≤ Ra < 60 Rough industries Industrial buildings
4 20 ≤ Ra < 40 - Rough industries

METHOD 3: COLOUR TEMPERATURE
• Color temperature is a measure of

how warm or cold the light
emitted by the lamp is. The way to
measure light is through the Kelvin
Temperature scale. • Incandescent and warm-white fluorescent
lamps have a low color temperature.
• Lamps with low color
temperatures (3000 K and below) • Lamps with high color temperatures (3500
emit warm white light that appears K and above) emit cool white light that
yellowish or reddish in color. appears bluish in color. Cool-white
fluorescent lamps have a high color
temperature.

METHOD 4: SOURCE SIZE
• “Lumen depreciation” refers to the

loss of the original light output of the
lamp or fixture that occurs over
time.
• L70 report that rates the LED high

bay lamp or fixture at 50,000 hours
is predicting that the LED product
will maintain 70% of its original light
output for at least 50,000 hours.

METHOD 5: LIGHT OUTPUT
Light output is an informal term for The formal term for measurements of
how much light a fixture produces, and delivered light is illuminance.
how the fixture emits and distributes Illuminance is the quantity of light or

EXERCISE 1
Given a lighting system for a building has 20 luminaires. Each luminaires has 2 fluorescent
lamps Each lamp has a light output of 2000 lumens. The Cu and LLF (DF – depreciation
factor) are 0.45 and 0.9 respectively (from manufacturer).
Find the total light output from the lighting system.

EXERCISE 2
It is proposed to illuminate an electronic workshop of dimensions 9 x 8 x3 m to an
illuminance of 550 lx at the bench level. The specification calls for luminaires having
one 1500 mm 65 W fluorescent natural tube with an initial output of 3700 lumens.
Determine the number of luminaires required for this installation when the Cu and LLF
are 0.9 and 0.8, respectively. Find the number of luminaire required (N).

Commissioning & Maintenance Impacts to
Cost Effective Lighting System
 Commissioning and Maintenance plays important role in

maximising energy savings.
 Commissioning is necessary because lighting system (particularly

lighting control ) do not perform as designed.
 Maintenance is essential for maximising the efficient

performance of the lighting fixtures.
 Frequent cleaning not only makes the lighting system look better
but increase efficiency of the lighting system.

62
About Luminaire maintenance.
 Cleaning the surfaces of luminaire can be important.

 Presence of dirt on a luminaire can significantly reduce light
output.
 Very clean environment (high quality offices, clean room)
luminaire dirt – reduce light output over a period of 3 years by
10-20%.
 Moderately dirty environment (mill offices, paper processing)
reduce 45% in 3 years.
 Dirty environment reduce light output – 50% < 2 years.

63
Maintenance on reflective surface.
 Dirt accumulating on reflective surface can decrease the

amount of reflected light substantially
 Repainting dark colored walls and ceilings with light colors

adds substantially to the effective light within rooms and
the overall efficiency of the lighting system

64
The maintenance procedure used to counter lumen depreciation is by

performing “relamping”. There are 2 types of relamping:
 (i) Group relamping

- Replacing all lamps in an area or building simultaneously rather
than as each lamp burns out is another strategy for maintaining
high-efficiency lighting systems and often saves time and money
as well.
 (ii) Spot relamping

- Lamp can be replaced as they burnt out.

65
The choice of method depends on cost:
 For spot replacement; C=L+S Eq (4.2)
 For group delamping (using selected lamps as interim replacement),

C = [L + G + (B x S)]/I Eq (4.3)
 For group delamping (with no interim replacement),

C = (L + G)/I Eq (4.4)
Where
C = total replacement cost per lamp
L = net price per lamp
S = spot replacement labor cost per lamp
G = group replacement labor cost per lamp
B = percent of burnouts at end of group relamping interval (from mortality curve)
I = group relamping interval in percent of average lamp life 66
EXAMPLE 2
An office building contains a number of smaller rooms (37 m²) which each has four two
lamp fluorescent fixtures.
Every time a janitor changes the lamps in the room, he must bring a ladder into the room
and need to clear away all furniture before doing the maintenance work. Time taken to
replace a lamp is 15 mins. Meanwhile to replace all lamps, he needs 25 mins. To remove
the existing lamp, clean the luminaires and insert a new lamp, he took 5 mins/lamp.
If one lamp’s cost is $ 0.80, the average lamp life is 4000 h, the labor cost is $10.00/h, the
working hours per day is 8h, and the working day is 5 days per week or approx. 2000
h/year, calculate the actual cost for a lamp. For this scenario as well, give comments
whether group relamping is preferable to spot relamping or what is the best interval for
the relamping.

67
Commissioning & Maintenance Impacts to EXAMPLE 2
Answer:
L = $0.80/lamp
S = 20/60 x $10.00 = $3.33
G = 30/60 x 1/8 x $10.00 = $0.63
If lamp is replaced interval of 6 months: 1000 working hrs

I = 1000/4000 = 0.25
Eq (4.2) and Eq (4.3) yields $4.13 and $5.72/lamp for spot and group relamping respectively.
If interval 1 yr; I = 0.5
Eq (4.2) and Eq (4.4) yields $4.13 and $2.86/lamp for spot and group relamping respectively.
If group relamping is performed every yr and is supplemented by interim of failed lamps, the cost per lamp
from Eq (4.3) is ($0.80 +$0.63 + 0.5 x $ 3.33)/I or $3.10/lamp

 Energy manager who is looking into the lighting energy

management should ask himself the following three questions:
1) How much light is needed?

2) How must the light be controlled?
3) How can lighting be provided most efficiently?
 When examining an existing system, the answers to these

questions can be used to reduce lighting cost and improve lighting
efficiency.

 Lighting improvements provide cost savings in:
1) Reduced energy use and maximum demand

2) Reduced heat production, consequently decrease
the air-conditioning and ventilation needs
3) Lower life cycle lamp costs
4) Reduced need for maintenance
5) Increased productivity
6) Increased safety

 To locate the lighting energy management opportunities, the

energy manager should:
1) Identify the characteristics of the visual tasks, and determine

the contrast of the work to the surrounding surfaces.
2) Look for the potential to use daylighting levels.
3) Determine the appropriate lighting levels and the quantity of
lighting needed.
4) Select alternative lighting systems to meet the needs, and
analyse the cost effectiveness of each alternative.
5) Select the best alternatives to implement.

Performing Delamping/Relamping 02
 Significant energy savings can be achieved through modifications
to the existing lighting system either through reduction in the
total number of active fixtures or by replacing present lamps with
more efficient ones.
 Lamp replacement ranges from changing simple bulb to

complete replacement of the existing system.
 In most plans, the final program will likely to incorporate a variety

of elements, resulting in a program somewhere between the two
extremes.
03 Use Reflector
 Reflector lamp means a lamp that

has a reflective coating applied
directly to part of the bulb surface
and that reflects light in a forward
direction away from the lamp base.
 Function of reflector is to alter the

beam of light.
78
03 Use Reflector
 The most common scenario of

using a reflector is to place it on the
opposite side of the subject,
relative to the light source.
 For example, if the light comes from
the left, the reflector should be on An aluminum-coated reflector on a
the right. If the light comes from in lathe-processed aluminum substrate
front of the subject, the reflector produces a simple paraboloid for
should be behind it. flashlight applications with a specular
surface.

as it makes a key availability, the most provide glare-free
contribution to an difficult aspect is its balanced light,

94
 To achieve reduced cooling, the following criteria must be

met:
1) High-performance glazing is used to meet lighting design

criteria and block solar radiation
2) Electric lights are automatically dimmed or turned off
through the use of photo-sensors
3) Effective shading devices, sized to minimize solar
radiation during peak cooling times, are used
95
 A photoelectric sensor is a device that

detects a change in light intensity. Typically,
this means either non-detection or
detection of the sensor’s emitted light
source.
 The type of light and method by which the

target is detected varies depending on the
sensor. So, photoelectric Sensors can be
used in many different ways and industries.
 For example, they can be used to detect

objects or the orientation of an object on a
production line, they can be used to count,
and they can also be used to stop an
automatic closing door.
96
• Daylight harvesting, also called daylighting control or automatic daylight dimming or

switching, uses a ceiling-, wall- or fixture-mounted light sensor to measure the amount
of illumination at the task surface in the space or at the daylight aperture, then signals a
switch or dimming ballast to adjust light output from the electric lighting system to
maintain the desired level of illumination.
• An effective daylight harvesting control system saves energy while being virtually
unnoticed by occupants.
97
Lighting Automation
98
Lighting Automation
 The light that uses the least power is
the light that is switched off.
 Automation systems can
supplement process changes to
make sure that lights are switched
off when they are no longer
required.
 Automated lighting systems use a
central wireless router to control
special light switches so you can
program all your lighting inside and
outside your home with settings for
time of day, location, and various
scenes to fit any occasion.

Lighting Automation
Reliable and economical device
It can save energy and reduce

Time operating costs by automatically
shutting off lighting and other
clocks electrical equipment when not
needed
Basic function of a time clock

is to turn electrical
equipment on and off at
101 preset times
Lighting Automation …Example 4 Occupancy Sensor
• Called motion detectors, save energy and reduce operating costs
by automatically turning off lighting in unoccupied areas.
• Will be economical in a specific situation depends on the amount
of time the room is occupied and the amount of power needed to
light the room.
• Warehouses and storage areas, conference rooms, lunchrooms,

classrooms, and offices occupied briefly or periodically
• Two types of occupancy sensors are commonly used, infrared and
ultrasonic.
• Infrared sensors detect slight changes in temperature.

• Ultrasonic sensors detect motion by emitting inaudible high-
frequency sound waves and monitoring their Echoes.
102
Lighting Automation …Example 4 Sensor-photo cell
Simply turn interior or exterior lighting on and off depending on the

amount of daylight present
During installation, the photocell is adjusted to shut off lamps when

there is adequate daylight to illuminate the area and turn the lamp
back on when the amount of daylight falls below a predetermined
level.
However, photocell switching doesn't result in a constant level of

illumination, and abruptly fuming lamps on or off is distracting to
many people.

 An energy saving project is done in UTM through the energy efficient

lighting retrofitting. The objective of this project is to reduce the energy
consumption on lightings by up to 50%. This project was conducted by
installing T5 fluorescent lamp in place of T8 in order to reduce the energy
consumption for the lighting system on campus. T5 fluorescent lamp is
capable of producing the same illuminance at low power compared to T8
fluorescent lamp. Table below shows the difference between T5 and T8
fluorescent lamps installed in UTM.

Comparison between T5 and T8 lamps
Lamp Parameter T5 T8

Assume the lights ‘on’ 10 hours a day, 22 days a month.

CASE STUDY
Action Plan
 Energy saving of from 3 to 15% can be realized by adopting best management
practices.
 Turn off office equipment:
o Turn off office equipment and appliances and invoke energy saving features. Computers, monitors, copiers, fax
machines and printers often have energy saving modes which are not activated and most office equipment are
left on unnecessarily
 Check outdoor air levels:

o Check that minimum outdoor air levels are at recommended requirements which maintain proper indoor air
quality, and many building actually bring in much more outdoor air than necessarily
 Check mechanical systems:

o Have mechanical systems checked and maintained on a regularly scheduled basis. At least 10% in energy
savings may be expected for systems that are properly maintained versus those which are serviced only when
problem occurs 126
CASE STUDY
Steps to develop a total energy solution

 Assess your current lighting systems.
 Evaluate the benefits of new energy efficient lighting

technologies. Lighting audits can identify energy saving
opportunities for your facility from simple replacements to total
system upgrades.
 Implement energy efficient energy lighting solutions that can

make a quick impact to your bottom line and the environment.

Summary
128
Summary
• Use the most efficient light source available.

• Always turn light off when they are not needed.
• Use luminaires effectively to provide maximum light for the
task performed.
• Plan proper lighting system maintenance for keeping lights
clean and lighting level adequate.
• Use daylight hours to maximise advantage so that electric
lighting may be reduced.
• Use lighter colors on ceilings, walls, floors, furniture and
equipment to increase reflectance of light.
