3. A drawing hall 30 m x 15 m with a ceiling

 

3. A drawing hall 30 m x 15 m with a ceiling height of 5 m is to be provided with an illumination of 120 lux. Taking the coefficient of utilization of 0.5, depreciation factor of 1.4, determine the No. of fluorescent tubes required and their spacing, mounting height and total wattage. Take luminous efficiency of fluorescent tube as 40 lm/W for 80-W tube. (A.M.I.E. Sec. B, Summer) 4. A room 40 m x 15 m is to be illuminated by 1.5 m 80-W fluorescent tubes mounted 3.5 m above the working plane on which an average illumination of 180 lm/m is required. Using maintenance factor of 0.8 and the utilization factor of 0.5, design and sketch a suitable layout. The 80-W fluorescent tube has an output of 4,500 lm. (Electrical Technology, Bombay Univ.)
