 COMMON LIGHTING
INSTALLATIONS AND
TYPES OF LUMINAIRES
PENDENT

a luminaire that
is hung with a
cord, chain, or
tube.
UPLIGHT
luminaire where a
shielded light source
directs its light to the
ceiling, where it is
reflected back to the
space.
DOWNLIGHT
a luminaire that is
usually attached
to or recessed in
the ceiling
HIGH HAT

type of downlight,
canister-shaped
luminaire with a
shielded lamp
 RECESSED
LUMINAIRES

mounted above
the ceiling or
behind a wall or
other surface
SCONCES

decorative, wall-
mounted
luminaires that
provide ambient
illumination
HIGH BAY LUMINAIRES
installed in a grid pattern

used in high-ceiling areas,

20 ft (6 m) or higher

provide ambient
illumination in warehouses,
gymnasiums, and retail
superstores
LOW BAY LUMINAIRES
designed for use in low- to
medium-ceiling areas, 12
to 20 ft (3 to 6 m)

used for general

illumination in offices,
retail spaces, and loading
dock areas
DIRECTIONAL
LIGHTING
light illuminating an
object is incident
predominantly from
a particular
direction
SPOTLIGHT
designed to emit an
intense, concentrated
beam of light with
usually no more than a
20° divergence
(spread) from where it
is directed
FLOODLIGHT
a broad-beamed,
high-intensity
artificial light

produce wider
beams of light,
usually up to 120
degrees.
TRACK LIGHTING
a directional
lighting installation
where luminaires are
attached to and are
moveable along a
metal track
DIFFUSED LIGHTING
cast and
disbursed over a
large area
frequently used to
provide soft,
background
lighting.
CORNICE LIGHTING
light source is
shielded by a panel
that is parallel to
the wall and
attached to the
ceiling
COVE LIGHTING
light source is
shielded by a ledge
or recess with light
dispersed over the
ceiling and upper
wall.
VALANCE LIGHTING
the light source
is shielded by a
panel that is
parallel to the
wall at the top
of a window.
INCANDESCENT LIGHTING
commonly used in
desk lamps, table
lamps, hallway
lighting, closets,
accent lighting,
and chandeliers.
FLUORESCENT LIGHTING
widely used
for general
lighting
installations
in buildings
HALOGEN AND COMPACT
FLUORESCENT LAMPS
small, offer low
maintenance, and
have excellent
light and color
qualities.
MERCURY VAPOR
gas-discharge
lamp that uses an
electric arc
through vaporized
mercury to
produce light
METAL HALIDE LAMPS
have good color
rendering qualities
and work well in
spaces with high
ceilings

HPS LAMPS
used when color
rendition is not
important such as
in warehouses and
factories
HIGH-PRESSURE SODIUM

Interior-ambient (medium and large spaces)

Low ceiling spaces (e.g., offices, classrooms,

retail, supermarket, shops)
High ceiling spaces (e.g., warehouses, hangers

General exterior (e.g., parking areas, tunnels,

roadways)
LPS LAMPS
rarely used in
building interiors
because they
produce a
monochromatic
yellow light
LOW-PRESSURE SODIUM

General exterior (e.g., parking areas,

tunnels, roadways)
REFLECTOR LAMPS
are incandescent,
compact
fluorescent, or HID
lamps with a built-
in reflecting
surface.
ELLIPTICAL REFLECTOR (ER)
LAMP
an incandescent
lamp with an
elliptically
shaped
reflector
PARABOLIC ALUMINIZED REFLECTOR (PAR)
LAMP
a precision
pressed-glass
reflector lamp
rely on both the
internal reflector
and prisms in the
lens
REMOTE-SOURCE LIGHTING (RSL)
an advanced
lighting technology
that transports
light from a single
source over a
distance to one or
more light outlets
FIBER OPTIC RSL SYSTEM

consist of a light source,

reflectors, filters, and lenses
FIBER OPTIC RSL SYSTEM
LIGHT PIPE RSL SYSTEM

a hollow tube with a reflective inne

surface -directs light through the
tube.
