8 Efficient Lighting Fundamentals This morning s presentation will be Aimed towards commercial applications Targeted at the introductory level The presentation will cover Lamps Ballasts Some controls Luminaires aka fixtures, troffers Sustainability, Environmental, and maintenance

9 Energy Use and Cost for Lighting Systems in Commercial Buildings Cost of lamps (bulbs & tubes) and labor cost to replace them is small percentage of total operating costs. Electricity to operate lighting systems far outweighs lamp and labor costs. The higher purchase price of efficient lamps is quickly recovered through lower electricity costs. Source: BOC

10 Light Levels: Considerations Proper light levels required IESNA recommendations State/local standards Where light levels are correct, visual tasks are easier. Too little is bad cannot see, eye strain too much is bad glare, wastes energy Source: BOC

11 Some Definitions

12 Lamp Characteristics: LPW & Average Rated Life Lumens Per Watt (LPW) LPW = light output (lumens) power input (watts) Average Rated Life for Incandescent, HID, and Fluorescent is the point in time at which 50% of a large group of lamps have failed. Ratings in catalogs are result of standard lab tests. (Ex: Fluorescent lamps 20,000 3 hrs./start) Rated life for LED is when lumen output has dropped to 70%, or L70 Source: BOC

13 Light Source Efficacy (LPW) Source: BOC

14 Lamp Characteristics: Lumen Maintenance (lumen light depreciation) Most lamps lose ability to produce light after burning for some time Lumen maintenance measures the rate of depreciation and indicates the remaining light output LLD = mean lumens initial lumens* Ex: 32-w T8 Fluorescent 2,610 LLD = = ,900 *Initial lumens measured at 100 hrs. Source: BOC

15 Color Temperature of Fluorescent Lamps The color temperature represents the appearance of a lamp as rated in degrees Kelvin (K). Phosphor coating sets color temperature and CRI. Colors: 3000K (warm) 3500K (neutral) 4100K (cool) 5000K (daylight) 6500K (daylight) 8000K (SkyWhite) Source: BOC

16 Lamp Characteristics: Color Rendering Index (CRI) Appearance of colored objects when viewed under a light source compared to when viewed under daylight (of same color temp) Relative measure of up to 100 The higher the CRI, the truer the object colors appear. Source: BOC

17 Ballast Factor (BF) Is a value comparing the light output of a given fluorescent lamp and ballast combination, to the light output from the same lamp operating on a laboratory (perfect reactor) ballast. Light output is directly proportional to BF. Use BF to calculate light level for re lighting, or retrofit projects. Ballast factor computed by manufacturers and published in manufacturer s catalogs (or websites) Source: BOC

37 LED T8s There are hordes of sales people trying to sell these, because of potential huge volume and profit Often Pinocchio nose marketing hype But the DOE has not tested one yet is nearly as good as high performance fluorescent T8s with high performance ballasts Lamp cost can often range from $40 to $150 with proposed up to 50,000 hour realistic life Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

38 LED T8s May void UL listing of fixture, that got UL listing as a fluorescent fixture How they are connected Some use existing fluorescent ballast, which consumes extra wattage, and the ballast would have to be replaced when it burns out Ballasts typically have a 50,000 60,000 hour rated life Some have internal driver, which requires removing existing fluorescent ballast and rewiring to lamp holders UL has found fire danger with some LED T8s with internally shunted lamp holders Some come with their external drivers Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

47 Ballasts Electrical devices to start and operate fluorescent lamps Functions: 1. Provides correct voltage to start arc discharge 2. Limits lamp current to design value 3. Provides energy to heat cathodes (fluorescent rapid start & program start only) A ballast prevents the destruction of a lamp by limiting lamp current Source: BOC

63 Dimming Fluorescent Fluorescents with dimming ballasts can dim Input power is reduced, but lumens per watt gets worse, because the more dimming, the more power has to go to heating the cathodes of the lamps Dimming ballasts are more expensive CFLs have some special characteristics Dedicated dimmable screw ins usually cannot dim below 20% CFLs turn grayish or bluish when dimmed Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

83 Retrofit vs. Re lighting Retrofit Re lighting Upgrade existing fixtures with efficient lamps, ballasts,.. If asbestos present in ceiling, then it s more cost effective Limited to lamp/ballast improvements Can be difficult to improve fixture efficiency Retrofit option can be more sustainable than re lighting due to material re use Improved when long life, high efficiency lamps are used Opportunity to optimize efficiency and change layout Opportunity to change more parameters of lighting system Number of lamps/fixture Number of fixtures/system Change to LED s? More electrical contractors know how to install new fixtures than know how to retrofit properly. Source: BOC

84 Retrofit: Reflectors Fluorescent kits available Example: 2x2 w/2 U tubes to 2 or 3,17 w T8 lamps, 2x4 w/4 lamps to 2 lamps Improve troffer efficiency Relocate lamps for max performance You must Perform trial installation Evaluate cost of retrofit fixtures versus replacement Source: BOC

87 TASK AMBIENT LIGHTING Task ambient lighting is having relatively low Footcandle ambient lighting and additional task lighting when and where need it Light levels drop off exponentially as distance increases between source and task For example if double distance, 1/4 the footcandles Much less wattage getting high light levels from a task light 2 away from task, than from ceiling fixtures 6 away from task This strategy may be the most cost effective way to have very low power densities while providing good quality lighting In typical offices, usually watts per square foot is easily attainable Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

88 TASK AMBIENT LIGHTING Ambient, in offices, works very well with either New or retrofitted 2x4 high performance troffers that have 1 high performance & often high Kelvin 32W F32T8 and high performance parallel wired program start ballasting Maybe tandem wire ballast per pair of troffers New or retrofitted suspended indirect/direct fixtures with 1 high performance & often high Kelvin 32W F32T8 per cross section and high performance parallel wired program start ballasting Ambient lighting can provide footcandles on desks Often more light is worse than less light, because more light can cause more glare and higher contrast ratios Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

89 TASK AMBIENT LIGHTING For a long time most modular office systems had fluorescent under cabinet task lights But most of these fixtures Use way too much wattage Are glare bombs Provide too much light Often difficult to replace ballasts Sometimes still T12s with magnetic ballasts or T8s with magnetic ballasts There are some good CFL desk mount task lights But way too many people still use energy hog incandescent or quartz halogen Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

90 TASK AMBIENT LIGHTING There are also integral or one piece fluorescent task ambient lighting systems One example is Tambient Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

91 Fluorescent If you have T12 systems, definitely REPLACE Many existing T8 systems do not have the most efficient lamps or ballasts High performance T8 lamp and ballast systems can often save 20% wattage compared to old, generic T8 systems In many applications could go with a bi level system controlled by an occupancy sensor Before jumping into LEDs, good to raise the bar and see if they are cost effective compared to high performance T8 systems Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

96 ARE LEDS REALLY MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY? Yes, fluorescent, have mercury But the manufacturers have been doing a very good job reducing it Many states require recycling Many fixtures can be kept for a long time, because lamps and ballasts can be easily replaced LEDs do not contain any mercury But there are toxic chemicals used in production There is usually a lot of valuable aluminum or other metals used for heat sinks Many fixtures are currently not designed to be easily and cost effectively retrofitted Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

97 More on Environmental No matter what you specify or buy, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant is highly recommended Already mandated in Europe For example, eliminates lead in solder Also mercury, cadmium, etc. Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

98 What about long term Maintenance? Fluorescent fixtures can easily and cost effectively get new lamps and ballasts to last decades For example, parts and labor for a 2F32T8 fixture Group relamping every 25,000 hours may cost $10 Group reballasting every 50,000 hours may cost $40 $60 total at 50,000 hours with brand new lamps and ballast $70 total at 75,000 hours with brand new lamps and 1/2 old ballast $120 total at 100,000 hours with brand new lamps and ballast Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

99 What about long term Maintenance? At 75,000 hours LED troffer Now with at least the Cree CR 2x2, 2x4 or 1x4 $325 initial parts and labor cost + $175 parts and labor retrofit cost = $500 High performance troffer with 1 F32T8 $225 initial parts and labor cost + $70 parts and labor relamping and reballasting = $295 Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:

Although efficacy can be improved with IS and RS ballasts with T5s and T5HOs, lamp life can be greatly reduced and lamp manufacturers may not warranty lamps. 93% is used as an average EOL lumen maintenance for T5HOs. 90% - 94% range among manufacturers. All wattages based on 277V. EE IS is extra efficient instant start. G IS is generic instant start. EE PS is extra efficient program start. PS is program start. RS E is rapis start electronic. RS M is rapid start magnetic. Extra long life is 36,000 hours with IS and 40,000 hours with PS ballasts at 3 hour cycles. Source: Source: Stan Walerczyk LIGHTING WIZARDS:
