Power management company Eaton’s Cooper Lighting and Safety business has published a new ‘Lighting Design Guide’. The firm says it’s for help designers and architects to find the right lighting for the right application.
A section is on the complex subject of emergency lighting that advises on how to comply with fire safety legislation in a way that is visually acceptable and meets the user’s needs for ease of operation and maintenance.
The guide advises on how to design and install mains, interior and emergency lighting schemes, offering details on levels of illumination, energy efficiency and lighting regulations. The guide is now available online and can be downloaded for free at: http://bit.ly/LightingDesignGuide .
Uniformity and ratios of illuminance, glare, colour, room reflectance and energy efficiency are among criteria that when designing and installing an effective and efficient lighting scheme. The guide covers how to estimate a suitable level of illumination and comply with energy and building regulation requirements.
