Spacing Criteria
What is the maximum distance that luminaries may be spaced while still providing uniform illumination on the work plane.
EOC stands for
Environment of Care
key factors considered when calculating average illuminance for interiors.
luminous flux of lamps, number of lamps, Maintenace factor, utilization area
Identify coefficient of utilization
Accounts for a lighting system's operation at less than initial conditions. The CU indicates the ratio of initial lamp lumens to the lumens on a work surface.
Divide the luminous flux reaching the desired plane by the luminous flux emitted by the fixture.
A device that turns a load on or off based on events such as sunset or sunrise, accounting for geographic location and day of the year
Details that should be in lighting specs
What is brief description of the product, a manufacturer product ordering number, and lamp information (including lamp type, lumens produced, wattage, voltage, dimmability, and color temperature).
