What is Lighting?
 The deliberate use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic
effect.
 Includes the use of both artificial light sources and Natural
lights.
 Natural illumination by capturing daylight.
Purpose of Lighting…
 Ensure the safety of people.
 Ensure the safety of properties (Security Lighting).
 Provide the facility to performs visual tasks.
 Make a pleasant visual environment.
Diversifications of lighting…
 Natural and Artificial Lighting.
 Indoor and Outdoor Lighting.
natural Lighting…
 Major source is the Sun.
 Optimizing of day light is important.
 Saves energy.
 100% greener.
 Use windows, skylights, or light shelves.
Artificial Lighting…
 Generate light using electrical energy.
 Use lamps.
 Design according to purpose of area (Usage).
Indoor lighting…
 Lighting systems inside the buildings, warehouses, factories
etc…
Outdoor lighting…
 Lighting of outdoor areas such has roads, landscaping areas,
sports arenas, grounds, gardens etc…
 Automobile lighting.
Lamp…
 A replaceable component such as an incandescent light bulb,
which is designed to produce light from electricity.
 Usually have a base of ceramic, metal, glass or plastic, which
makes an electrical connection in the socket of a light fixture.
 May be made with a screw-thread base, two metal pins, two
metal caps or a bayonet cap.
Types of lamps…
 Incandescent Lamp
 Fluorescent Lamp
 Compact Fluorescent (CFL)Lamp
 Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lamp
 Sodium Vapor Lamp
 Metal Halide Lamp
 Halogen Lamp
 Laser diode lamp
Glare…
 Occurs when part of an interior is much brighter than
general brightness in the interior.
 Have two effects.
 Can reduce the vision level (Disability glare).
 Can discomfort the vision (Discomfort glare).
Standards for Lighting …
 BS EN 12464-1:2011-Light and lighting, Lighting of work
places. Indoor work places.
 BS 5266 :2011 - Emergency lighting.
 BS 1376 :1974 - Specification for colours of light signals.
 BS 5489-1 :2013 - Code of practice for the design of road
lighting.
 BS 8206-2 :2008 - Lighting for buildings. Code of practice
for day lighting.
What is Efficacy…?
 The efficient in lighting sources
 Measure in lumens per Watt (lm/W)

Intelligent Lighting..
 Controlling the lights inside a building most efficient manner
using a automatic controlling system.
 Most Building Management Systems (BMS) has provided the
facilities to do so.
 Office working areas, Lobby areas, Toilet areas.
 Mostly occupancy sensors are used.
Green Building Lighting…
 Design to minimize the energy usage.
 Give maximum energy efficacy.
 Most of the time try to capitalized the day light.
 Sometimes use BMS to control lighting of selected areas.
