Q

Believe it is flats per unit of projected area and unit solid angle leaving a surface, either reflected or transmitted. By definition, the unit is the candela per square meter, also called the net. In the older inch – pound system, the unit is the footLambert, where 1 foot Lambert is 1/pi cd/sf. This takes into account the reflectance and transmit its properties of materials and the direction in which they reviewed. Thus, 100 lx striking a 1 m² service with 50% reflectance result in aluminate of 50 cd per square meter. This is sometimes called brightness, although brightness includes the physiological sensation of the adaptation of the eye, whereas this is measurable state of object luminosity

Q

To conserve energy most codes require designers to develop a power budget for a project based on the building type and design lighting systems within that budget. What does this mean for determining illumination per category

A

This most often requires that the recommended illumination level be provided for task areas only and that general background illumination or ambient light be less, about 1/3 of the task level.

Q

This type of glare occurs when a light source is reflected from a viewed surface into the eye. It is this that interferes with the viewing task, it is also called a veiling reflection. The effect of this is to decrease the contrast between the task and its background. For example, a strong light on paper with a pencil writing can bounce off the reflective graphite, making the graphite almost as bad as the paper, and effectively obliterate the writing

Q

Light is produced by the incandescence of the filament, but there is a small amount of halogen, such as iodine or Breaux mine, and the follow up with inert gas. Through a reoccurring cycle, part of the tungsten filament is burned off as the lamp operates, but it mixes with the halogen and its redeposited on the filament instead of on the wall of the bulb as in standard incandescent lamps. The result is low lumen depreciation overall the lamp of the life of the lamp, longer lamp life, and more uniform light color. Because the filament burns under high pressure and temperature, the bulb is made from quartz and is much smaller than those of standard incandescent lamps. These lamps are often referred to as quarts halogen. Standard 120 V and low-voltage lamps are available 

A

Tungsten halogen

43
Q

These lands operate at a lower voltage than 120, usually 12. However, they operate at a higher current or amperage, so they’re filaments have to be thicker to carry the added current. Because the filaments are thicker, there are also more compact, resulting in smaller lamps and Lance with better beam control

A

Low voltage lamps

44
Q

What is the main disadvantage to low-voltage lamps

A

These lamps require a transformer to step down the line voltage. The results in a volunteer luminaire in higher initial cost

45
Q

Contain a mixture of inert gas and low pressure mercury vapor. When the lanterns energized, a mercury arc is formed that creates ultraviolet light. The invisible light in turn, strikes the phosphor coated Bob, causing it to fluoresce and produce visible light.

A

46
Q

How many types of fluorescent lamps are there and what are they 

A

There are three types of fluorescent lamps they are pre-heat, rapid start, and instant start

52
Q

Is it more or less expensive to dim a fluorescent light then a incandescent light

A

More expensive

53
Q

What are some of the fall backs to fluorescent lights

A

They are larger than incandescent so it is more difficult to control them precisely so they are usually better for general illumination rather than specific

54
Q

A

Mercury vapor lamp

59
Q

These types of lamps have a long lamp like but poor color rendering. They use is generally limited to outdoor lighting and industrial applications such as warehouses

A

Mercury vapor lamps

60
Q

Similar to mercury lamps except that halogens of metals are added to the arc tube. This increases the efficiency and improves color rendition but decreases lamp life. These provide the best combination of features of high intensity discharge lamps. They have color rendering index is between 60 and 90, high efficiency, and relatively long life.

A

Metal halide lamps

61
Q

What are the disadvantages of metal halide lamps

A

These lamps experience a large shift in a parent color temperature over their lives. Like all high intensity discharge lamps, metal halide lights have an outer bulb to protect the art tube and protect people from the dangerous ultraviolet light.

62
Q

65
Q

These types of lamps are used in specific recessed down light fixtures installed and low ceilings for metal halide lamps

A

Diffuse 

66
Q

These types of lamps are used as ceramic art tubes rather than quartz tubes, which allows the lamp to burn at a higher temperature, improving color rendition in light control. The efficiency of these lamps is better than the older mellow metal halide and there is better color consistency over the lamps lifetime.

A

Ceramic metal halide CMH

67
Q

What are the disadvantages of ceramic metal halide lamps

A

Higher initial cost, difficulty in Deming, and the requirement for a ballast.

68
Q

These types of lamps produce light bypassing an electric arc through hot sodium vapor. The octave must be made of a special ceramic material to resist attack by the hot sodium. Hi these types of lamps have efficiencies from 80 lm per watt to 140 lm per watt making them among the most efficient lamps available. They also have extremely long life spans from about 10,000 hours for improved color lamps and up to 24,000 hours for other types

A

High pressure sodium lamps

69
Q

What are the disadvantages of high-pressure sodium lamps

A

These lamps produce a very yellow light. However with available color correction versions, color condition is acceptable for some interior applications. It is possible to get these lamps with color rendering index is up to 70.

70
Q

How much time does each have high intensity discharge lamp required to restart

A

Mercury vapor lamps need 3 to 10 minutes, metal halide lamps need about 10 to 20 minutes, and high-pressure sodium lamps need about one minute

Q

The most commonly used types for residential in some commercial interior design. As the name implies, the Lumineers directly attached to the fix to the finished surface of the ceiling, directly all or majority of the light into the space. These pictures are used where there is not sufficient space above the ceiling to recess a fixture or where fixtures are added after the ceiling has been constructed

A

Surface mounted fixtures

81
Q

Why do used in residential and commercial installations. Residential recessed lighting is usually limited to incandescent down lights because these can be located in the limited space between the floor and ceiling joists. Commercial installations utilized these lights as well as recessed choppers that could fit in a suspended acoustical ceiling system. When the entire ceiling is made up of lighting, a luminous ceiling is formed. These can be general downloads for overall illumination or wall washers, which direct light in only One Direction. Continuous, narrow strips of fluorescent luminaires can also be recessed next to the wall to wash the wall uniformly with light

A

Recessed fixture

82
Q

Lumineers drop below the level of the ceiling. These include indirect incandescent or fluorescent fixtures, track lighting, indirect systems, chandeliers, and other types of specialty lighting. This type of mounting is required for indirect systems. The fixture must be located far enough below the ceiling to allow for some proper spread of light to bounce off the surface. This is also used when the designer needs to get a great source of light closer to the task area in a high ceiling room. Sometimes specialty fixtures are use strictly for aesthetic reasons

A

Suspended fixture

83
Q

Can provide indirect, direct indirect, or direct waiting period for general illumination, sconces direct most of all the way towards the ceiling.
