ROADWAY ILLUMINANCE CALCULATION

1. INPUT DATA FOR CALCULATION

1) Required illuminance E' = 25 [Lux]
2) Quantity of Fixture No = 1
(One Side or Stagered Installation : 1 / Facing Together Installation : 2 )
3) Type of Lighting Fixture Type = H.P SODIUM 250W
4) Voltage 230V
5) Initial Lumens per Sets F = 26,000 [Lm]
6) Total Coefficient of Utilization ( CU ) CU = 0.43
7) Illumination Factor ( U ) U= 0.77
8) Maintenance Factor( M ) M= 0.7
- LLF is simply the product of multiplying all the contributing factors. Where factors are not known,
or applicate, they are assumed to be unity.
9) Pole Height 8.0
10) Road Width ( Back / Hous / Road Side Distance) 8.00 ( 0.50 / 1.00 / 7.00 )[m]

2. CALCULATION FORMULA

1) Spacing ( Initial Lumens per Lamp )´(No ' s of Lamp per Lumiaire )´(CU )´(U )´( M )
=
2) Typical Roadway Side Elevation View
(E' )´( Road Width )

3) Spacing Methods
< One Side > < Staggered > < Facing Together >
3. SOLUTION
1) Lateral Distance Ratio
= Street or House Side Distance / Mounting Height

Ss Ratio = 7 / 8 = 0.88 [m]

Ss CU = 0.36 < By Typ. Roadway Coefficient of Utilization Curve>

Hs Ratio = 1 / 8 = 0.12 [m]

Hs CU = 0.07 < By Typ. Roadway Coefficient of Utilization Curve>

∴ Total CU = 0.36 + 0.07 = 0.43

2) Going To The Spacing Formula

( 1 Dekalux is equal to 1.076 footcandles. 1 Dekalux = 10Lux )
Spacing = ( 26000[Lm] x 1[Ea] x 0.43 x 0.7 x 0.77 ) / ( 25[Lux] x 8[m] )
= 30.0 [m]

4. RESULT

∴ Road lighting fixture(s) is installed at about 30 meter distance.
