LUMEN METHOD CALCULATION

Project Area: Kitchen Bulb being used: Bright lamp

LED.

Input parameters:
Room Length (L): 11.83 ft
Room Width (W): 7.25 ft
Height of wall (hT): 12 ft
Ceiling Cavity (h): 3 ft
Height of luminaire plane (hL): 0.92 ft
Height of horizontal reference plane (hp): 3.12 ft
Luminaire type: Standard light receptacle

Distance of luminaire to reference plane (hm): hT −h−h L−h p=¿ 4.96 ft

#of lamps per luminaire (n): 1 Total Lamp Flux (Φ): 2175

Lamp Lumens Maintenance Factor (LLMF): 0.7 Maintained Illuminance (E): 75 fc

Calculation:

E ×(L× W ) 75 ×(11.83× 7.25)

N= = =8.8 ≅ 9luminaires
MF ×UF ×(n ×Φ) 0.7 × 0.48×(1 ×2175)

Where, N = Number of luminaires required

E = Maintained Illuminance (fc)

φ = Initial lamp output (lumens)

n = Number of lamps in luminaire

MF = Maintenance factor

UF = Utilization factor A = Area of room
