Determine Area Lighting Needs and Operational Factors

L

The selection of the proper luminaire/lamp
combination and the determination of the
number of luminaires required is a function of
the desired quantity and quality of light
required, together with consideration of any
special factors arising from the nature of the
work operation.
Several aspects of this selection process are
discussed below. The conditions will vary
from job to job. It is important to consider
these conditions if the lighting system is to
yield optimum results.

A) Determine Illumination Quantity
Required

The Illuminating Engineering Society in the
current IES Lighting Handbook gives a
comprehensive listing of footcandle levels
recommended for all types of Industrial
Lighting. A condensed version of this listing is
given in Table I and is presented according to
the types of visual tasks encountered.

B) Determine Illumination Quality Required

Quality of illumination pertains to the
distribution of brightness in the visual
environment. Care must be taken to avoid
discomforting glare within the normal visual
field.
Luminaires normally selected for lower
mounting should be designed to limit
brightness below the 45° zone.

C) National Electric Code Compliance

The National Electric Code delineates some
areas as hazardous, depending on materials
or atmosphere within an area. The choice of
luminaire and lamp is therefore somewhat
restricted if the area is classified as
hazardous.
In hazardous areas, luminaire design and
operating temperature of both luminaire and
lamp must meet strict limitations. These
limitations are detailed under Step 3 of this
selection guide.

Table 1 / Recommended Levels of Illuminance

Seeing Task Typical Type of Work

Difficult Difficult assembly and

inspection, color coding, paper
manufacturing (Inspection and
Rewinder) finishing operations.

Moderate Moderately difficult assembly

and inspection, checking and
sorting, service garage repair
areas, medium bench work,
instrument panel (vertical
illumination).

Casual Simple assembly, rough bench

work, grinding, simple
inspection, wrapping, packing
and labeling, control house
general lighting.

Easy Rough active storage,

washrooms, dry lumber
warehouse, compressor
houses.

Limited Inactive storage, stairway B 5 to 10

NOTE: For other industrial footcandle levels such as petrochemical, refer to the Illuminating
Engineering Society’s Lighting Handbook (Application Volume) for more information.

Illuminance
Category Footcandles†

F 100 to 200

E 50 to 100

D 20 to 50

C 10 to 20

If the area is non-hazardous in nature, the
selection of the proper luminaire and lamp is
less restrictive and should be based on
general operational and environmental
conditions.

D) Maintenance Considerations

In order to insure optimum performance of
the lighting system at a reasonable cost,
some of the following related factors must be
introduced into the selection process:
ɀ Atmospheric Conditions: Luminaires for use
in extremely wet locations should be
enclosed and gasketed.
Luminaires for use in extremely dirty
locations should provide a minimum of light
depreciation under the anticipated
maintenance schedule (i.e., reflector with
open top and bottom should be used where
maintenance is infrequent). Luminaires for
use in extremely corrosive atmospheres
should have protection for the optical system
and have finishes to withstand the particular
corrosive agent (i.e., epoxy power finish;
enclosed Alzak reflector; Krydon
reinforced polyester reflector).
ɀ Accessibility: Since it may be necessary to
locate luminaires in inaccessible areas, the
luminaire and lamp selected should minimize
need for maintenance and maximize ease of
maintenance when required (i.e., high bay
open reflector with mercury lamp).
ɀ Area Usage: The selection of the proper
lamp/luminaire combination will depend
greatly on the required burning hours per
year. The anticipated usage should be a
major factor in lamp selection.

Values recommended are average maintained footcandles

Select Type of Lamp

After identification of the factors discussed in
Step 1, the following guide can be used in
selecting the proper lamp:

A) Illumination Level

High (30FC or more): high intensity
discharge (H.I.D.) lamps are generally the
most economic choice.
ɀ Exception: where luminaires must be
placed within an operator’s normal visual
span, a low brightness light source such as
fluorescent should be used.
Low (less than 30FC): all light sources can be
considered. Selection of best lamp is usually
based on other factors.
ɀ Exception: at medium to high mounting,
high intensity discharge is generally best.

B) National Electrical Code

Hazardous locations – all light sources can
be considered.
ɀ Exception: Article 500 of the National
Electrical Code classifies the various
categories of hazardous locations and
provides general rules for the application of
luminaires in these areas. (See Step 3 of
Selection Guide.)
ɀ Exception: where process must be shut
down for relamping, high intensity discharge
is best due to long lamp life. Non-hazardous
locations – all light sources.

®

C) Accessibility

High intensity discharge lamps should be
used where luminaires are relatively
inaccessible because of long life and the
need for infrequent relamping.

D) Area Usage (Burning Hours)

At more than 2,000 burning hours per year,
high intensity discharge and fluorescent
lamps generally yield the lowest system cost.
At less than 2,000 hours per year,
incandescent may be the best system
depending on the size of the area, mounting
height and illumination level required.

E) Other Considerations

ɀ Energy cost: where energy cost is high,
high intensity discharge lamps generally
prove most economical. H.I.D. lamps
produce more lumens per watt of electricity
than other lamp types.
ɀ Safety: due to warmup and restart
characteristics of high intensity discharge
lamps, auxiliary or emergency lighting should
be used in critical areas.
