A.

SCOPE OF WORK
These items cover all supply items which are required in connection with internal and external
electrification works.

B.

GENEML REQUIREMENTS
Regulations: The supply in general shall be carried out in conformity with the Electricity Rules of the
Govt. of Bangladesh (lndian Electricity Rules and Act as adopted in Bangladesh) and the latest edition
of the British Standard Code of practice for the relevant works. But where the under noted
specification differ from these rules and standards, the specification written hereunder shall be
followed. Any special requirement of the Electrical inspector, Government of Bangladesh or the Power
Development Board or the Telegraph and Telephone Department, Government of Bangladesh or other
legal authority shall also be complied.

C.

CLIMATIC AND ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS

The supply of equipments and materials shall be installed both externally and internally and shall
therefore, be designed and built to give efficient and reliable service continuously at the normal voltage
and current rating in the prevalent climatic and atmospheric conditions at the relevant site. d.
Specifications: Material required which are not covered by the detailed specifications shall be as
recommended by the equipment manufacturer, or consistent with good Engineering practice,

1.

LIGHT FIXTURE AND LAMPS

1.1

Lighting fixtures shall be constructed with the minimum possible number of joints, Joint shall be made
only by means of approved welded brazed. Screwed or bolted construction method, soldered joints will
not be permitted.

1.2

All ferrous parts and supports of lighting fixtures other than parts manufactured of stainless steel shall
be completely rust proof after fabrication and before finishing coats applied. All screws, bolts nuts and
other fastening latching hardware shall be cadmium or equivalent plated.

1.3

Finished thickness of all cast parts shall not be less than 3mm except where specifically indicated to
the contrary, all fixtures shall be provided with a final synthetic high temperature stove enamelled
coating of white color and finished. Unless otherwise specified all stove enamelled reflective surface
shall be white, with a minimum reflectance of 85%,

1.4

Where stainless steel or non-ferrous metal or aluminum is to be utilized as a reflector surface the
stainless steel or non-ferrous metal will be baked on clear lacquer to preserve the surface and the
aluminium shall be treated as specified with alzak or anodizing process to ensure a permanent
reflective surface with a minimum 95% reflectance.

1.5

Recessed fixtures shall be designed so as to properly coordinate with the ceiling construction 1'-0" x 4
-0 or as per ceiling design are to be mounted on.

1.6

Fixture shall be furnished with all appurtenance (trim, plastic frame, etc.) necessary for the proper
support of the fixture. Plaster frame shall either by manufactured of non-ferrous metal or if
manufactured of steel shall be suitably rust proofed after fabrication. All support for lighting fixture
(strim chain, anchors, etc,) shall be adequate for the support of the weight of the fixtures. All skim
hangers shall be furnished with suitable aligner canopies or outlet box covers that the fixtures hang
vertically irrespective of the angle of the surface they are mounted from. When fixtures, or hanger
canopies are mounted flush to the coiling or wall and where raceways and outlet boxes serving the
fixtures are surface mounted to the ceiling or wall, finishing rings shall be provided to concealed the
outlet box. All visible fixture hanging devices and appurtenances shall have the same finish as the
fixture unless specifically other wise indicated.

1.7

Fixture for use in outdoors or in damp locations shall be suitably gasketted to prevent access of
moisture into electrical components or enclosing diffusers, lenses, or globes. All metal parts of fixtures
for use in damp locations that are specified as requiring paintings, shall be painted with suitable
weather proof and moisture resistant paints" exhibiting moisture resisting quilities equal to epoxy
baseo coatings. All aluminium parts of fixture for use in damp locations that are specified as requiring
as unpainted finish shall be anodized.

1.8

Lighting Management is to identify a system flexible enough to have energy efficient Lighting and
Quality Control that may be integrated into other building management system. Trio is a
comprehensive Lighting Control System which is applicable for wide range of indoor application. The
configuration shall be when
a. only movement detector is connected, it will automatically switch the lighting 0N or OFF;
b. but people in the room, will be able to trun the lights 0N or KEEP it in certain level manually
when there is movement detector including an lR Receiver. Trio will automatically switch the
lights OFF when no one is present in the room.

1.9

Compact Fluorescent, sodium discharge lamps, etc.

1.9.1

All discharge lamp lighting fixtures furnished shall conform to the following and the fittings shall be
suitable to operate on the main particulars of which are given below:
Number of Phase
Voltage
Frequency
Type

Single phase
230 volts 5%
50 Hz.
Alternating current

1.9.2

The fluorescent lamp shall be high power factor operation, tubular in shape for general lighting service.

1.9.3

The colour shall be cool white,

1.9.4

Electronic Ballasts and capacitors shall be rigidly mounted to the inside of the top of the fixture
housing, with ballasts surface and housing in complete contact for efficient conduction of ballast heat.
Ballait mounting shall be permanently affixed to the housing.

1.9.5

The diffusers shall be glare free, moulded out of 3mm thick opal plexi material of uniform density and
sturdy construction. The diffusers shall be quick detachable type.

1.9.5

Sockets shall be suitable for the specified lamps and so that lamps are positioned in optically correct
relation to lenses, reflector, baffles, and so on.
All lenses, louvers, or other light diffusing elements contained in fixtures frame shall be removable but
positively held within the frame so that the hanging motion of the frame will not cause the diffusing
elements to drop down.

1.9.6

1.9.7

All glass elements, lenses, diffusers and so on shall be made of thermos pane material equal in
characteristic to that of pyrex.
