BASIC DEFINITIONS
• Light : That part of radiant energy from a hot body which produce visual
sensation on human eye
• Luminous intensity (I) :Luminous Intensity is a measure of the wavelength-
weighted power radiated by a light source in a particular direction per unit
solid angle and is measured in Candela.
• Luminous Flux (L) : From the light source, energy is radiated in the form of
light waves. This flow of light from the source is known as Luminous Flux
(L) and unit is lumen
• Lumen : One lumen is the luminous flux emitted per unit solid angle from a
point source of one candle power
BASIC DEFINITIONS
• Illuminance (E) : Illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit
area and is measured in lux.
• 1lux=lumen/area= 1lumen/m2
• Luminaire ( light fitting ): It is the apparatus which distributes, filters or transforms
the light given by a lamp. It includes all the items necessary for fixing and
protecting the lamps and for connecting them to the supply circuit.
• Candle power: Number of lumens given out by a source per unit solid angle in a
given direction is called candle power
Solid angle =4π steradians in a full sphere
• Total luminous flux= CP*4π lumens
• CP is the unit of luminous intensity
LAWS OF ILLUMINATION
INVERSE SQURAE LAW:
States that the illumination (E) of a surface is directly proportional to
the luminous intensity and inversely proportional the square of the
distance between the source and the illuminated surface, as long as
the source remains the same.
E = I/r2
I= luminous intensity
E- illumination of the surface
r- distance between the source and surface to be illuminated
This is true only when the surface to be illuminated is placed normal
to the direction of the light beam.
esd m2.ppt Lighting schemes and calculations
COSINE LAW
• When the plane to be illuminated may not be
normal to the direction of luminous flux, and is
inclined by an angle θ, where θ is the angle
between the line of flux and the normal to the
illuminated plane.
• The law states that the illumination on a surface
is proportional to the cosine of the angle
between the normal to the surface and the line
of flux and also to power of the source. E is
inversely proportional to r2.
• E = I cos θ/r2
• These laws are applicable only to point
sources( no reflecting surfaces)
COSINE LAW
• Consider a point 'P' on a plane surface and the distance between the
source of light (S) and the point 'P' is 'r' meters. The source (S) is located
at height of 'h' meters from the surface and its luminous intensity is 'I'
candle power as shown in Figure
• E = I Cos θ/r2
• r= h/Cos θ
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR A GOOD LIGHTING SCHEME
• Intensity of illumination
 Intensity of illumination required for different types of
work differ from place to place.
• Selection of lamps or selection of luminares
The choice of lamps for different types of application differs
 Fluorescent lamps and tungsten filament lamps are used
when lighting is needed in small areas
 In large areas, the lighting can be provided by high
intensity lamps such as mercury or discharge lamps
 Depending upon the type of illumination required,
the type of luminare is decided
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR A GOOD LIGHTING SCHEME
• Size of the room
 The lumen output of the source or lamp is not fully utilized at the work place.
 A part of the light is lost in the fittings and some part is directed to the walls and ceilings where a part will be
absorbed and a part will be reflected .
 This is taken into account by a factor known as Coefficient of Utilization (CU).
 The ratio of lumens reaching the working plane to the total lumens given out by the lamps is known as CU or
Utilization factor.
Factors affecting Coefficient of Utilization (CU).
 Lumen output of the fitting
 Shape of the room
 Reflection factors of walls and ceilings
 Height of the ceiling
 Arrangement of the fittings etc
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR A GOOD LIGHTING SCHEME
• Mounting height and spacing of fitting
 Governed by the type of the building and the type of lighting scheme employed.
 The distance of the light source from the wall should be equal to half of the
distance between the two adjacent light sources.
 Also distance between lighting fitting should not exceed 1.5 times the mounting
height
 Or spacing to mounting height ratio can be upto 1.5
• Condition of use
For different types of buildings, the condition of use of light varies.
 Dust and dirt particles of the surroundings get deposited on the light fitting and
hence deteriorate the lamp efficiency.
 If regular periodic cleaning is adopted and assuming good atmospheric condition,
the maintenance factor (MF) is taken as 0.8 , but for dirty and dusty atmosphere,
the MF is taken as 0.4.
 Depreciation factor (DF) =1/Maintenance Factor
 Maintenance factor is also called Light Loss Factor(LLF)
 Provide light of suitable colour.
 Avoid glare and hard shadows as far as possible.
LIGHT LOSS FACTOR (LLF)
• Periodic schedule and appropriate maintenance is very
essential in maintaining the initial lighting level.
• An LLF would not be required if light output remains
constant throughout the useful life.
• Inherent light loss characteristics of the luminaire and
unfavorable ambient conditions will force the net
output to deteriorate with time
• An LLF is introduced in lighting calculations to make up
for expected loss of light in the lighting system.
The various factors that contribute to light loss are of two
types.
– Recoverable
– Non-recoverable.
The recoverable factors include:
– Luminaire dirt depreciation (LDD)
– Room surface dirt depreciation (RSDD)
– Lamp lumen depreciation (LLD) and
– Lamp burn out (LBO)
Luminaire dirt depreciation (LDD)
• The greatest loss of light output is due to the dirt accumulation on
lamps and luminaire reflecting surface
• Proper selection of maintenance is essential
– Air-conditioned spaces - Once in two years
– Non A/C offices, School, etc - Once in a year
– Industrial areas- 3-6 times a year
– Food preparation area - every week
Room surface dirt depreciation (RSDD)
• This factor takes into account the dirt or dust accumulation on
surfaces
• A proper schedule for cleaning the reflecting surface must be
followed to maintain the reflectance
Lamp lumen depreciation and lamp burn out (LLD and LBO)
• Lamp lumen depreciation is an inherent characteristic
of all lamps.
• Two types
– Spot re-lamping
– Group re-lamping.
• Spot re-lamping refers to changing of lamps as and
when a lamp burns out
• Group re-lamping is the process of replacing all the
lamps in an installation after the useful life period of
the lamps irrespective of the fact whether the lamps
are in working condition or not
Non-Recoverable factors
• These factors present those conditions of a lighting system that
reduce the light output, where nothing in terms of periodic
maintenance can recover the losses
These include:
– Luminaire ambient temperature (LAT)
– Voltage variation (VV)
– Ballast factor (BF)
– Luminaire surface depreciation (LSD)
Luminaire ambient temperature (LAT)
• A variation in the ambient temperature does not have much effect
on the incandescent and HID lamps
• Fluorescents are affected by a change in ambient temperature
• Fluorescent produces a peak output at about 25 °C
Voltage variation factor (VV)
• For incandescent lamps a variation of 1% voltage may cause as much
as 3% variation in light output
• For HID and fluorescents also variation in voltage affects their output
Ballast Factor (BF)
• Ratio of light output by a commercial ballast to
that by reference ballast .
Luminaire surface depreciation factor (LSD)
• Changes in the various components used in the
manufacture of luminaires can cause reduction in
the light output .
• Due to aging, polished surface will have reduced
reflectance.
All four non-recoverable factors will depreciate the
output permanently and nothing can be done to
recover them.
Benefits of LED lamps over yesteryear luminares
1. LEDs use less power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens)
2. LED lighting achieves energy savings of 30% to 90%.
3. LED lamps work at a much lower temperature, reducing the risk of
burns if touched.
4. Maintenance-free and easy to install.
5. Delivering better lighting quality and visibility.
6. Tremendous design flexibility.
7. Smart connectivity features.
8. Lasting for many years (even decades).
9. LEDs have less impact on the environment and human
health.
10. LEDs are more robust.
11. LEDs offer greater cost savings.
Efficacy
• Efficacy is a measure of how much light a light
source produces for the energy put in to it. This
is normally expressed in Ln/W (lumens per watt)
• The luminous efficancy of LEDs can be as high as
300 ln/W, which is over 18 times more than
traditional light bulbs .
• Although LEDs are a more expensive light source,
they are worth choosing due to their high energy
efficiency and long life.
LIGHTING CALCULATIONS
Average lumen method
• Simplified way of calculating an average uniform illuminance level on a plane in
interiors
• Takes into account the effects of surface reflectance
• Simplified and accurate method of quantity evaluation for interiors
• This method is developed from the basic definition of lux, which states that one lux
is the illuminance on a surface of one square meter having a light flux of one
lumen
• Illuminance E= L/A where L = lumens produced by all the luminaries in room and A=
area in sq.m.
• In reality, all the luminous flux generated by the lamps will not fall on the work
plane
• Factors like luminaire candle power distribution, efficiency, room size and shape and
luminaire height, will affect the total number of lumens reaching the work plane
• The formula is multiplied by a coefficient of utilization (CU) to take into
consideration all above factors. Therefore,
E=(L*CU)/A
LIGHTING CALCULATIONS
• The luminaire, lamp and even the surface will accumulate dust over a
period of time and the lamp lumen output will depreciate with time
• To obtain the maintained illuminance level, the formula now must be
multiplied by a light loss factor(LLF) to account for the depreciation in
light output
E=(L*CU*LLF)/A
• The formula can be modified as E=(Ln*N*CU*LLF)/A where
Ln, = Initial lumen output per luminare and
N= total number of luminares or lamps
Number of luminares or lamps N=(A*E)/(Ln*Cu*LLF)
• From the above, it is obvious that for a given level of illuminance and area,
the only means or reducing the number of luminaires is by using the
highest values of Ln, CU and LLF
• The lower the number of luminaires, the less the power consumption.
• Area per lamp luminare (fixture)=Room area/ No.of lamps or fixtures
• Spacing between fixtures or lamps=√Area per fixture
Solution
Working area A= 15m X 9m
Required illumination ,E=200 Lux
Lumen out put of one lamp, L= 3000 Lumens
CU= .75
Maintenance factor(MF)= Light loss factor( LLF)=.8
Number of lamps required, N=E x A/(Lx CU x LLF)
=200 X 15 X 9 /(3000 X .75 X .8)
=15
Determine the power of Lamp in Candela also.
Solution
Working area A= 30m X 15m
Required illumination ,E=200 Lux
Lumen out put of one lamp, L= 2700 Lumens
CU= .6
Depreciation factor DF=1.25
Maintenance factor(MF)= Light loss factor( LLF)=1/DF=1/1.25=.8
Number of lamps required, N=E x A/(Lx CU x LLF)
=200 X 30X 15 /(2700 X .6 X .8) =70
Power of lamp in Candela(I) =Lumen/4π=2700/4π=215Cd

Qn. An office room of size 9X15m is to be illuminated by 2x18W LED
luminaire. The lamps are being mounted at a height of 3m from the work
plane. The average illumination required is 240 lux. Calculate the number
of lamps required to be fitted, assuming a CU of 0.75 and a LLF of 0.8.
Assume the ceiling height of the room as 5m. Draw the layout of the
luminaire arrangement. The lumen output of 2x18W LED may be taken as
4000 lumens.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Lighting design for exterior application will have to consider the
following aspects:-
• Functional lighting-Road lighting, yard lighting (area lighting), flood
lighting
• Decorative lighting- Monumental lighting, façade lighting and special
lighting for festivals
General consideration
• Primary aim of exterior lighting :- Safety and Security
• Luminaires used for exterior lighting can be classified into :-
– Static luminaries-Luminaries fixed on top of a pole, to produce light
in a predetermined manner.
– Adjustable luminaries - Luminaries mounted with adjustable brackets
are referred to as adjustable luminaries. Mostly used for flood
lighting and area lighting
ROAD LIGHTING
Requirements of street lighting
i. Luminance Level.
• Main requirement is to provide driver of a moving vehicle the exact
information continuously and accurately from the road
• Objects should be present with clear contrasts with their
surroundings
• Dangerous objects shall be seen and recognized in time
ii. Luminance Uniformity.
iii. Degree of Glare limitation.
iv. Lamp Spectra
v. Effectiveness of visual guidance.
• The scene should have adequate brightness, at the same time it
should not appear to be so bright to cause discomfort or disability
vii . The patterns created by the road lights shall not be confusing to
the driver
Classification of roads
• Classified based on the volume of traffic, speed and
composition of the traffic
• For roads with width ranging from 6-9m, lamp posts are
arranged on side of the roads
• For roads with width 9-12m, zig zag spacing is
recommended
• For roads with width 12-20m, face to face spacing of
lamp posts on both sides of the road becomes
necessary
• For multi-lane roads, spacing of lamp posts on the
median or on the median plus the curbs on both sides
may have to be chosen depending upon the number of
the lanes of traffic, planned on the road
Classification of roads
Design considerations
• Initial lumen Ln = (E*A)/(LLF*CU)
• Area of the road = Width* Spacing between lamp poles
• LLF= LLD* LDD
– LLD- lamp lumen depreciation
– LDD- lamp dirt depreciation
• Spacing = (Ln*LLF*CU)/(E*W)
• It is necessary that the illuminance directly under the luminaire be the same as the midway between
the poles
• For the purpose of Energy saving, economy and uniformity of illumination the ratio of spacing to
mounting height should not be less than 3 or larger than 5.
• The ratio of average to minimum illuminance should not be greater than 3
• Distance between two light points should not be more than 35m
• For residential areas the ratio can be as high as 6
• Three popular models of the pole placement along the roadway are: – Spaced continuously on the
road side with a spacing of S meter (least expensive and less wiring)
– Staggered spacing on both sides of the road with spacing of S meters between consecutive poles
– Spacing on opposite sides of the road with a spacing of 2S meter between two consecutive poles on
the same side

SOLVED PROBLEMS ON AREA LIGHTING-2
SOLUTION
Selection of light sources
Exterior lighting installations normally use
High Intensity Discharge Lamps (HID)
• Used to designate 3 distinct type of lamp- mercury vapour, metal halide and high pressure
sodium
• Produce light by establishing an arc between two electrodes, the electrodes being few
centimetres apart enclosed in a transparent arc tube
• Arc tube is then enclosed in an outer bulb that is filled with nitrogen and an inert gas
Mercury vapour lamps (MV)
• Outer tube is filled with nitrogen and inner tube contains mercury and argon gas
• Consists of starting electrode and main electrode
• When voltage is applied to starting electrode, an argon arc is produced by main electrodes
adjacent to it which heats up and vaporises mercury
• These ionised mercury atoms decrease the resistance between the main electrodes and
produces arc to strike
• Available from 40-1000W
Metal Halide lamps (MH)
• Contains metallic additives in addition to argon and mercury in the arc tube which produces
different colour rendering in the overall light output
• Higher efficacy (66-100 lumens/watt) than metal vapour lamps
• Better colour rendering
•
High pressure sodium vapour lamps (HPS)
• Produce energy in all wavelengths
• Light produced is golden white colour
• Has highest efficacy of all lamps (60-127 lumens/watt)
• Available in 35-1000W size
• Life is 24000 hours
• Best energy savers in HID lamps
Low pressure sodium vapour lamps
• 183 lumens/watt
• Monochromatic light output (yellow)
• Life of 18000 hours
• Used in street lighting and outdoor area & security lighting
LED Lamps
LEDs are the best choice for outdoor lighting for many reasons.
Outdoor LED lighting benefits include:
• Brighter light: LEDs are a brighter white than traditional halide street lamps,
helping better illuminate streets, sidewalks and parking lots.
• Longer life: LEDs, depending on their usage, can last up to 50,000 hours.

This flow of light from the source is known as Luminous Flux (L) and unit is lumen • Lumen : One lumen is the luminous flux emitted per unit solid angle from a point source of one candle power
  • 4. BASIC DEFINITIONS • Illuminance (E) : Illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area and is measured in lux. • 1lux=lumen/area= 1lumen/m2 • Luminaire ( light fitting ): It is the apparatus which distributes, filters or transforms the light given by a lamp. It includes all the items necessary for fixing and protecting the lamps and for connecting them to the supply circuit. • Candle power: Number of lumens given out by a source per unit solid angle in a given direction is called candle power Solid angle =4π steradians in a full sphere • Total luminous flux= CP*4π lumens • CP is the unit of luminous intensity

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR A GOOD LIGHTING SCHEME • Mounting height and spacing of fitting  Governed by the type of the building and the type of lighting scheme employed.  The distance of the light source from the wall should be equal to half of the distance between the two adjacent light sources.  Also distance between lighting fitting should not exceed 1.5 times the mounting height  Or spacing to mounting height ratio can be upto 1.5 • Condition of use For different types of buildings, the condition of use of light varies.  Dust and dirt particles of the surroundings get deposited on the light fitting and hence deteriorate the lamp efficiency.  If regular periodic cleaning is adopted and assuming good atmospheric condition, the maintenance factor (MF) is taken as 0.8 , but for dirty and dusty atmosphere, the MF is taken as 0.4.  Depreciation factor (DF) =1/Maintenance Factor  Maintenance factor is also called Light Loss Factor(LLF)  Provide light of suitable colour.  Avoid glare and hard shadows as far as possible.
  • 12. LIGHT LOSS FACTOR (LLF) • Periodic schedule and appropriate maintenance is very essential in maintaining the initial lighting level. • An LLF would not be required if light output remains constant throughout the useful life. • Inherent light loss characteristics of the luminaire and unfavorable ambient conditions will force the net output to deteriorate with time • An LLF is introduced in lighting calculations to make up for expected loss of light in the lighting system. The various factors that contribute to light loss are of two types. – Recoverable – Non-recoverable.
  • 13. The recoverable factors include: – Luminaire dirt depreciation (LDD) – Room surface dirt depreciation (RSDD) – Lamp lumen depreciation (LLD) and – Lamp burn out (LBO) Luminaire dirt depreciation (LDD) • The greatest loss of light output is due to the dirt accumulation on lamps and luminaire reflecting surface • Proper selection of maintenance is essential – Air-conditioned spaces - Once in two years – Non A/C offices, School, etc - Once in a year – Industrial areas- 3-6 times a year – Food preparation area - every week Room surface dirt depreciation (RSDD) • This factor takes into account the dirt or dust accumulation on surfaces • A proper schedule for cleaning the reflecting surface must be followed to maintain the reflectance
  • 14. Lamp lumen depreciation and lamp burn out (LLD and LBO) • Lamp lumen depreciation is an inherent characteristic of all lamps. • Two types – Spot re-lamping – Group re-lamping. • Spot re-lamping refers to changing of lamps as and when a lamp burns out • Group re-lamping is the process of replacing all the lamps in an installation after the useful life period of the lamps irrespective of the fact whether the lamps are in working condition or not
  • 15. Non-Recoverable factors • These factors present those conditions of a lighting system that reduce the light output, where nothing in terms of periodic maintenance can recover the losses These include: – Luminaire ambient temperature (LAT) – Voltage variation (VV) – Ballast factor (BF) – Luminaire surface depreciation (LSD) Luminaire ambient temperature (LAT) • A variation in the ambient temperature does not have much effect on the incandescent and HID lamps • Fluorescents are affected by a change in ambient temperature • Fluorescent produces a peak output at about 25 °C Voltage variation factor (VV) • For incandescent lamps a variation of 1% voltage may cause as much as 3% variation in light output • For HID and fluorescents also variation in voltage affects their output
  • 16. Ballast Factor (BF) • Ratio of light output by a commercial ballast to that by reference ballast . Luminaire surface depreciation factor (LSD) • Changes in the various components used in the manufacture of luminaires can cause reduction in the light output . • Due to aging, polished surface will have reduced reflectance. All four non-recoverable factors will depreciate the output permanently and nothing can be done to recover them.
  • 17. Benefits of LED lamps over yesteryear luminares 1. LEDs use less power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens) 2. LED lighting achieves energy savings of 30% to 90%. 3. LED lamps work at a much lower temperature, reducing the risk of burns if touched. 4. Maintenance-free and easy to install. 5. Delivering better lighting quality and visibility. 6. Tremendous design flexibility. 7. Smart connectivity features. 8. Lasting for many years (even decades). 9. LEDs have less impact on the environment and human health. 10. LEDs are more robust. 11. LEDs offer greater cost savings.
  • 18. Efficacy • Efficacy is a measure of how much light a light source produces for the energy put in to it. This is normally expressed in Ln/W (lumens per watt) • The luminous efficancy of LEDs can be as high as 300 ln/W, which is over 18 times more than traditional light bulbs . • Although LEDs are a more expensive light source, they are worth choosing due to their high energy efficiency and long life.
  • 19. LIGHTING CALCULATIONS Average lumen method • Simplified way of calculating an average uniform illuminance level on a plane in interiors • Takes into account the effects of surface reflectance • Simplified and accurate method of quantity evaluation for interiors • This method is developed from the basic definition of lux, which states that one lux is the illuminance on a surface of one square meter having a light flux of one lumen • Illuminance E= L/A where L = lumens produced by all the luminaries in room and A= area in sq.m. • In reality, all the luminous flux generated by the lamps will not fall on the work plane • Factors like luminaire candle power distribution, efficiency, room size and shape and luminaire height, will affect the total number of lumens reaching the work plane • The formula is multiplied by a coefficient of utilization (CU) to take into consideration all above factors. Therefore, E=(L*CU)/A
  • 20. LIGHTING CALCULATIONS • The luminaire, lamp and even the surface will accumulate dust over a period of time and the lamp lumen output will depreciate with time • To obtain the maintained illuminance level, the formula now must be multiplied by a light loss factor(LLF) to account for the depreciation in light output E=(L*CU*LLF)/A • The formula can be modified as E=(Ln*N*CU*LLF)/A where Ln, = Initial lumen output per luminare and N= total number of luminares or lamps Number of luminares or lamps N=(A*E)/(Ln*Cu*LLF) • From the above, it is obvious that for a given level of illuminance and area, the only means or reducing the number of luminaires is by using the highest values of Ln, CU and LLF • The lower the number of luminaires, the less the power consumption. • Area per lamp luminare (fixture)=Room area/ No.of lamps or fixtures • Spacing between fixtures or lamps=√Area per fixture
  • 21. Solution Working area A= 15m X 9m Required illumination ,E=200 Lux Lumen out put of one lamp, L= 3000 Lumens CU= .75 Maintenance factor(MF)= Light loss factor( LLF)=.8 Number of lamps required, N=E x A/(Lx CU x LLF) =200 X 15 X 9 /(3000 X .75 X .8) =15

Solution Working area A= 30m X 15m Required illumination ,E=200 Lux Lumen out put of one lamp, L= 2700 Lumens CU= .6 Depreciation factor DF=1.25 Maintenance factor(MF)= Light loss factor( LLF)=1/DF=1/1.25=.8 Number of lamps required, N=E x A/(Lx CU x LLF) =200 X 30X 15 /(2700 X .6 X .8) =70 Power of lamp in Candela(I) =Lumen/4π=2700/4π=215Cd
  • 27. Qn. An office room of size 9X15m is to be illuminated by 2x18W LED luminaire. The lamps are being mounted at a height of 3m from the work plane. The average illumination required is 240 lux. Calculate the number of lamps required to be fitted, assuming a CU of 0.75 and a LLF of 0.8. Assume the ceiling height of the room as 5m. Draw the layout of the luminaire arrangement. The lumen output of 2x18W LED may be taken as 4000 lumens.

  • 30. Classification of roads • Classified based on the volume of traffic, speed and composition of the traffic • For roads with width ranging from 6-9m, lamp posts are arranged on side of the roads • For roads with width 9-12m, zig zag spacing is recommended • For roads with width 12-20m, face to face spacing of lamp posts on both sides of the road becomes necessary • For multi-lane roads, spacing of lamp posts on the median or on the median plus the curbs on both sides may have to be chosen depending upon the number of the lanes of traffic, planned on the road
  • 32. Design considerations • Initial lumen Ln = (E*A)/(LLF*CU) • Area of the road = Width* Spacing between lamp poles • LLF= LLD* LDD – LLD- lamp lumen depreciation – LDD- lamp dirt depreciation • Spacing = (Ln*LLF*CU)/(E*W) • It is necessary that the illuminance directly under the luminaire be the same as the midway between the poles • For the purpose of Energy saving, economy and uniformity of illumination the ratio of spacing to mounting height should not be less than 3 or larger than 5. • The ratio of average to minimum illuminance should not be greater than 3 • Distance between two light points should not be more than 35m • For residential areas the ratio can be as high as 6 • Three popular models of the pole placement along the roadway are: – Spaced continuously on the road side with a spacing of S meter (least expensive and less wiring) – Staggered spacing on both sides of the road with spacing of S meters between consecutive poles – Spacing on opposite sides of the road with a spacing of 2S meter between two consecutive poles on the same side

  • 48. Selection of light sources Exterior lighting installations normally use High Intensity Discharge Lamps (HID) • Used to designate 3 distinct type of lamp- mercury vapour, metal halide and high pressure sodium • Produce light by establishing an arc between two electrodes, the electrodes being few centimetres apart enclosed in a transparent arc tube • Arc tube is then enclosed in an outer bulb that is filled with nitrogen and an inert gas Mercury vapour lamps (MV) • Outer tube is filled with nitrogen and inner tube contains mercury and argon gas • Consists of starting electrode and main electrode • When voltage is applied to starting electrode, an argon arc is produced by main electrodes adjacent to it which heats up and vaporises mercury • These ionised mercury atoms decrease the resistance between the main electrodes and produces arc to strike • Available from 40-1000W Metal Halide lamps (MH) • Contains metallic additives in addition to argon and mercury in the arc tube which produces different colour rendering in the overall light output • Higher efficacy (66-100 lumens/watt) than metal vapour lamps • Better colour rendering •
