= (/A)* r2
= E* r2 Candela
Inverse square law: Double the Radius:
Surface area bounded by a solid angle of 1 sr now increases to 4m2
Luminous flux remains = 1lm
Illuminance E drops from 1 lux to lux
What can we do with this?
Its the basic building lighting
We can find the illuminance on a desk from a incandescent light
bulb overhead:
LUMINOUS EFFICACY
Is the ratio of the luminous flux emitted by a lamp to the power taken
by it. (unit: LUMENS PER WATT, lm/W)
Calculation of point illuminance level:
Ep
Which are generated by individual light source:
}E = I/r2
But, r = h/ cos ( )
So,
E p = I /h2 cos3
} Where,
} Luminous Intensity(I)
} Hieght (h)
} Light Incidence Angle ( )
Factors affected on illuminance calculations
1. Room Reflectance
} The room is considered to
consist of three main
surfaces:
(a) the ceiling cavity,
(b) the walls, and
(c) the floor cavity (or the
horizontal working plane).
