If you, as a user of the IESNA Lighting Handbook, 9th Edition, believe you have located an error not covered by the following revisions, you should e-mail your information to Pat McGillicuddy at: pmcgillicuddy@ies.org or send a letter to: Pat McGillicuddy, Manager of Technology, IES, 120 Wall Street 17th Floor, New York, NY 10005. Additions will be posted to this list as they become available. This errata list was last updated on August 4, 2006. Color headings indicate the latest postings. Please confine your comments to specific typographical errors or misstatements of fact in the Handbook text and/or graphics. Do not attempt to revise or update the Handbook itself.

In the right-hand column, six lines up from the bottom, the reference to Figure 2-18 is incorrect. The reference should be to Figure 2-19.

Also, two of the defined terms immediately following equation 3-13 should be revised:
The last definition should be modified. Here, lower-case pishould replaced with upper-case
Pi for agreement with the notation used in Equation 3-13. Immediately below the list of defined terms, where the main text resumes, the first sentence should be replaced with the following: This formula generally results in UGR values ranging from 10 to 30 where a high value indicates significant discomfort glare and a low value indicates little discomfort glare. Electric lighting systems producing UGR values of less than 10 are assumed to produce no discomfort. These changes will allow consistent presentation for the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) equation, which appears again on page 9-28.
In Figure 4-3 under Standard Illuminant, read down the column marked (nm) until you get to 740. Then read across the row to column C where the number given is 91.50. This number is incorrect and should be 61.50. 5

Cutoff
A luminaire light distribution where the candela per 1000 lamp lumens does not numerically exceed 25 (2.5%) at or above an angle of 90 above nadir, and 100 (10%) at or above a vertical angle of 80 above nadir. This applies to all lateral angles around the luminaire. A luminaire light distribution where the candela per 1000 lamp lumens does not numerically exceed 50 (5%) at or above an angle of 90 above nadir, and 200 (20%) at or above a vertical angle of 80 above nadir. This applies to all lateral angles around the luminaire.

In the middle of the right-hand column, Equation 9-24 is wrong because a subscript error. The equation should read: Mc = M0c + c(Mwfcw + Mf fcw) (9-24)
(Note: the corrected term c stands for ceiling reflectance. It also appears immediately below Equations 9-24, 9-25, and 9-26 where it is typeset properly)
Also, three of the defined terms immediately following this equation should be revised to include subscripts:

Figure 9-44 contains a typographical error. In the column labeled 15E read up four numbers from the bottom. The entry here should be the number 50 (not S0) In the middle of the left-hand column, under 6. Solve the Equations the expression given for cos is incomplete. This equation should read: yi cos i = Di (Note: the subscript i is missing from the left-hand cos term as originally published. This equation is part of Example 3, which begins on page 9-62)

Corrected letter assignments for the Casino and Gaming section are shown below:
In Section I. INTERIOR, page Interior-4: Under Educational Facilities, the row labeled Shops (see Section II, Industrial) should be BLANK all the way across the page. There should be no solid blue rectangle at the intersection of this row and the column titled Notes on Illuminance see end of section.

In Figure 20-2 some of the information given for Swimming (Water Sports) does not agree with a tabulation of the same data given in Table 5 of RP-6-01, Recommended Practice for Sports and Recreational Area Lighting. Therefore, Figure 20-2 should be revised so that the four values identified in the Lighted Area column as Luminances of the Pool Surface (Candelas per Square Meter) are as follows: Class of Play I II III IV 376 269 161 161
Note: you must refer to Table 5 as it is presented in the hard copy Errata insert for RP-6-01. Do not use the original Table 5 bound into RP-6-01 because it is incorrect.
Also in Figure 20-2, page 20-5, in the Lighted Area column (just below the statement Luminances of the Pool Surface (Candelas per Square Meter), the phrase Illuminances on Pool Deck is incorrect. It should say: Illuminances on Pool

This equation converts a stream of equal annual amounts into a single present value. There is no cost difference between making annual payments of A dollars for the next y years and paying P dollars today. In many cases it is helpful to extend present worth values over the life of a system. If present worth (P) is known, then the equivalent annual payment amount (A) can be found from: i(1 + i)y A=P (1 + i)y 1 where: A = amount of each annual payment (dollars) P = present worth, or amount at present (dollars) y = number of years i = opportunity or interest rate as a decimal fraction [i(1 + i)y] / [(1 + i)y 1] is called the uniform capital recovery factor Note that reciprocal of the uniform present worth factor is the uniform capital recovery factor. A stream of equal annual payment amounts (A) equivalent to one specified amount paid at a specific time in the future (F) can be found from: i A = F (1 + i)y 1 where: F = future worth, or amount in the future (dollars) A = amount of each annual payment (dollars) y = number of years i = opportunity or interest rate as a decimal fraction i / [(1 + i)y 1] is called the uniform sinking fund factor There is no cost difference between the offer of F dollars y years from now and the offer of A dollars each year for y years.
