So it is important to first understand few basic terms about lighting design before
beginning the calculations.
Room Index- It is based on shape and size of the room. It describes the ratios of the
room’s length, width and height. It’s usually between 0.75 to 5.
Maintenance Factor:
It is ratio of the lamp lumen output after a particular interval of time as compared to
when it was new. The lumen output of a light fitting decreases with time because of
aging of many of its components by internal (saturation of elements) or external
factors (dust deposition). For example maintenance factor of a light fitting used in a
cool dust free area will be better than the light fitting used in hot and dusty area.
Utilization Factor
Utilization factor (UF) is the ratio of effective luminous flux to the total luminous flux
of light sources. It is the measure of the effectiveness of the lighting scheme.
It depends upon
Where,
Hm = Mounting height
A = Total floor area
N = No. of Luminaires
It should not exceed maximum SHR of the luminaire as provided by the
manufacturer.
For ease of the calculation all the light fittings and their ratings taken into account are
of Phillips make. You can check the various fixtures and their specification here
provided by Philips.

The below table is a reference table for calculating Utilisation factor for light fittings. It
differs from model to model and make to make. For just understanding the concept
we are using a single reference table for all the light fittings. The actual table is
provided by the manufacturer and can be little different from the one below.

UTILISATION FACTOR TABLE FOR SHRRoom = 1.5
Reflectance code for classroom = 752
i.e. 70% reflectance for ceiling, 50% for wall and 20% for floor (General standard for
white/light coloured walls)
For R.I. = 1.8 and reflectance code = 752, Utilization Factor(U.F) = 0.66
For R.I. = 1.82 and reflectance code = 753, Utilization Factor (U.F) = 0.66
M.F. = 0.8 (Standard)
If we use Philips MASTER TL5 High Efficiency ECO 35 W
Lumen/Watt: 3650 lm/35 W
For R.I. = 1.26 and reflectance code = 752, Utilization Factor (U.F) = 0.55
So we can use single LED tube in sharing for both the bathrooms.
Lighting Design Calculation for Toilet Washroom Area
Cross section area of Washroom = 6×6.6 = 40 m2, h = 3m
Lumens required = 49.5×215 = 10642 lm
For R.I. = 1.05 and reflectance code = 752, Utilization Factor (U.F) = 0.49
M.F. = 0.8 (Standard)
If we use Philips Pacific LED Waterproof Batten 35 W
Lumen/Watt: 4200 lm/35 W
Colour Rendering Index – 85
Average Lifetime: 50,000 hours
Note: The luminaires should be placed equidistance to each other for uniform
distribution of light in the room. The actual number of luminaires used in the
classroom will be less than what we have calculated since the utilization factor of
LED lights is better than what we have taken in the calculation although steps will be
the same.
