Light sources
Fluorescent lamp
• Phosphor coated discharge tube consists of inert gases & mercury vapour
• Luminous efficacy – 25-100 lm/W; Lamp-life – 6,000-15,000 hours
• Type of phosphor coating decides its CRI & CCT; diffuse light quality
• Dimmable with appropriate control gear
• Coding – T; Wattage – 6-100W

Control gears & systems
Ballast
• Ohmic current limiter
• Electromagnetic – conventional & low-loss varieties; requires a starter
• Electronic – dimmable & non-dimmable varieties; does not require a starter
• Advantages of electronic – smaller, lighter, low power loss, instant restart & flicker-free

Control gears & systems
Transformer
• Interface between mains voltage (AC) & low voltage (DC)
• Applicable for operating all low-voltage tungsten-halogen lamps & LEDs
• Types – electromagnetic & electric
• Advantages of electronic – smaller, lighter & low power loss

Luminaires
Properties of luminaires
• Complete lighting unit, consisting of:
• Light source – lamps, socket & other parts that hold the lamp in place & protect it
• Electrical components - wiring & control gear that connects to a power source
• Optical accessories – reflector, lenses, louvres or diffusers that direct & distribute light

Luminaires
Properties of luminaires
• Cut-off angle – angle where bulb can no longer be seen when directly viewing luminaire
• Beam spread – angle between two opposite directions of light beam over the beam axis
• Quality evaluation metrics for all luminaires
• Performance criteria to predict & control the comfort

Luminaires
Properties of luminaires
• Ingress Protection (IP) – degrees of environmental protection provided by enclosures for electrical
equipment against intrusion of solid and water
• Provides more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as ‘water-proof’
• Consists of the letters IP followed by two digits

Luminaires
Properties of luminaires
• Impact Protection (IK) – degrees of protection by enclosures for electrical equipment against
external mechanical impacts
• Provides means of specifying capacity of enclosures to protect its contents from impacts
• Consists of letter IK followed by two digits

Luminaires
Types of luminaires
• Movable luminaires – can be adjusted, repositioned & allows changes in light direction
• Stationery luminaires – rigid mounting, occasionally allows changes in light direction
• Light structures – comprise modular elements with integrated luminaires
• Special purpose luminaires – unique components for specialised lighting requirements

Luminaires
Downlight
• Radiates vertically downward light
• Application – direct lighting of floor & horizontal surfaces
• Mounting location – ceiling, wall
• Mounting type – carrier, profile, recessed, surface
• Attachments – diffusers, lenses, louvres, reflectors

Luminaires
Uplight
• Radiates vertically upward light
• Application – indirect light reflected from ceilings, grazing light for walls
• Mounting location – floor, wall
• Mounting type – carrier, free-standing, inground, surface
• Attachments – diffusers, lenses, louvres, reflectors

Luminaires
Up-downlight
• Combines a downlight and an uplight in one fixture
• Application – simultaneous lighting of floor & ceiling, grazing light for walls
• Mounting location – ceiling, floor, wall
• Mounting type – free-standing, pendant, surface
• Attachments – diffusers, lenses, reflectors
