Objectives Describe the lighting parameters Learn about lamps Define project 2 Photometrics Luminous intensity [candela, cd] Define the ability of light source to generate light (illumination) in given direction Power – luminous flux [lumen, lm] Quantity of light Illuminance – light power density [foot-candela, fc] [lux, lx] SI units Density of light (illumination) incident on a surface Luminance - surface brightness [foot-lambert, lm/ft2] directional emission of visible light Illuminance (E) depends on angle Example: Spot light with luminous intensity I= 5000cd is aimed at painting at the wall 5 ft from the light and the angle φ=45°. What is the illuminance level (E) at the center of the painting? Solution Distance: Illuminance orthogonal to the beam E=I/L2=5000/ Ebeam= 100 fc Illuminance orthogonal to the painting Epainting= Ebeam/ Epainting=71 fc Color of light Color temperature is used to express the color of the light Surface color rendering Depending on the light type the surface colors can be different Depends on spectral energy distribution Color rendering lamp source can cause a color shift Color rendering index (CRI) Indicate if a lamp source will cause a color shift. Definition: CRI =100 for incandescing lamp with color temperature 3000K Luminous efficacy Define the light output per unit of electric power input Efficacy = Lumens/Watt Lifetime of lamps Rated life of lamp is time elapsed when 50% of group of lamp remain burning. Lumen deprecation Data for fluorescent lamps Lumen output fall during the life time Ref: Tao and Janis (2001) Types: Incandescent Electric discharge Fluorescent HID High-intensity Discharge Lamp Incandescent Thomas Edison first incandescent lamp Efficacy of 1.4 lumens/watt Life – 750 to 1000 hours 10 – 20 % decay in output Specialty Incandescent Lamps Halogen Low voltage Long-life Infrared Interference filters Is D
