Architecture and Planning Miscellaneous

Direction: A room of size 100 m2 is illuminated by 10 lamps of 40 W having a luminous efficacy of 50 lm/W.

  1. If utilization factor is 0.5, at a working height of 90 cm above the floor level, the illumination in lux would be
    1. 100
    2. 200
    3. 500
    4. 1000
Correct Option: A

Luminous Flux (F) = 20,000 lux
Area (A) = 100 sqm
Utilization Factor (UF) = 0.5
Maintenance Factor (M) = 1 (on assumption)

Illution =
F × UF × M
=
20000 × 0.5 × 1
= 100 lux
A100
