Light Calculation: Space Height Ratio (SHR) Is 1.25

An office space measuring 20m x 10m x 3m high is to be illuminated to 250 lux using 32W CFL luminaires arranged in a grid pattern. Based on the lumen output and spacing requirements, the calculation determines that 21 luminaires arranged in a 4 x 5 grid with a spacing of 4m between rows and 2.5m between columns would provide the required illumination level.

Light Calculation

An office area is 20meter (Length) x 10meter (width) x 3 Meter (height).

The ceiling to desk height is 2 meters.

The area is to be illuminated to a general level of 250 lux using twin lamp 32 watt CFL
luminaires with a SHR (SPACING TO MOUNTING HEIGHT RATIO ) of 1.25.

Each lamp has an initial output (Efficiency) of 85 lumen per watt.

The lamps Maintenance Factor (MF) is 0.63 ,Utilization Factor is 0.69 and
space height ratio (SHR) is 1.25
Calculation:

Calculate Total Wattage of Fixtures:


Total Wattage of Fixtures= No of Lamps X each Lamp’s Watt.
Total Wattage of Fixtures=2×32=64Watt.

Calculate Lumen per Fixtures: Lumens measure how much light you are getting from a
bulb
Lumen per Fixtures = Lumen Efficiency(Lumen per Watt) x each Fixture’s Watt
Lumen per Fixtures= 85 x 64 = 5440Lumen
 
Calculate No’s of Fixtures:
Required No of Fixtures = Required Lux x Room Area / MFxUFx Lumen per Fixture
Required No of Fixtures =(250x20x10) / (0.63×0.69×5440)
Required No of Fixtures =21 No’s

Calculate Minimum Spacing Between each Fixture:


The ceiling to desk height is 2 meters and Space height Ratio is 1.25 so
Maximum spacing between Fixtures =2×1.25=2.25meter.
 
Calculate No of Row Fixture’s Row Required along with width of Room:
Number of Row required = width of Room / Max. Spacing= 10/2.25
Number of Row required=4.
 
Calculation:

Calculate No of Fixture’s required in each Row:


Number of Fixture Required in each Row = Total Fixtures / No of Row = 21/4
Number of Fixture Required in each Row = 5 No’s:

Calculate Axial Spacing between each Fixture:


Axial Spacing between Fixtures = Length of Room / Number of Fixture in each Row
Axial Spacing between Fixtures =20 / 5 = 4 Meter
 
Calculate Transverse Spacing between each Fixture:
Transverse Spacing between Fixtures = width of Room / Number of Fixture’s row
Transverse Spacing between Fixtures = 10 / 4 = 2.5 Meter.
