24、naire. 1.0 SCOPE The methods of calculating average luminance contained in this Guide cover various open bottom apertures as well as flat and drop lensed units, including units with multiple openings in the light emitting area. The candela values of interest are obtained by means of IES techniques f

25、or relative or absolute photometry, and are not obtained from field measurements in application. Note: Average lumi-naire luminance is not a reliable indicator of either direct or reflected glare due to potential luminance non-uniformity. The averaging of data from spot luminance mea-surements obtai

26、ned with luminance meters or high resolution imaging systems is not within the scope of this document. This calculation is based solely on the candela values obtained by goniometric measurement of the luminaire and the luminous projected area. All light sources, for which there are current stan-dard

27、s for luminaire photometry, are covered by this Guide. These include incandescent, fluorescent, high intensity discharge (HID), low pressure sodium, and LED sources. 2.0 NORMATIVE REFERENCESANSI / IES RP-16-10, Nomenclature and Definitions for Illuminating Engineering.

35、ressed in cd/m2Metric (SI) units (as just shown) are preferred, although it is recognized that individual circum-stances may require that the equation be implement-ed in the following Imperial System version: Equation (3)where: angle is the viewing angle in degrees (see definition) luminous intensit

36、y at angle is in candelasprojected luminous area at angle is in ft2average luminance (calculated) is expressed in candelas/ft2Note: Earlier methods, and even some of todays literature, express luminance in “footlamberts“ (fL), a lambertian unit of luminance that equals 1/cd/ft2. This terminology is

37、obsolete and actually repre-sents a -multiple of luminance as calculated in the Imperial System. It is often presented as:Equation (4)where: angle is the viewing angle in degrees (see definition) luminous intensity at angle is in candelas projected luminous area at angle is in ft2average “luminance“

For more complex shapes, please refer to Annex A for calculation methods.Caution: These calculated average l

39、uminance results are best suited to describe emitter sources that are uniformly diffuse, and do not accurately convey the comfort level of non-uniform luminance distributions. Misleading conclusions can be reached regarding com-fort or glare comparisons between products, especially with clear source

40、s and/or specular reflector surfaces. 4.1 Circular Luminaire Openings (Open Bottom or Flat Lens) For flat lensed or open bottom luminaires as illustrat-ed in Figure 1, the equation for projected luminous area at angle is:Equation (5)where: ABP is the projected luminous area at angle AB is the lumino

43、area A simple, straight (vertical) side drop lens would have a side projected area .4.3 Square or Rectangular Luminaire Openings (Open Bottom or Flat Lens) For square or rectangular luminaire openings (see Figure 3), use an appropriate projected area formula for a given geometry. Each unique situati

The area projection cal-culation shall be made at this same horizontal angle. 4.4 Square or Rectangular L

45、uminaire Openings with Drop LensesThis case, of a square or rectangular luminaire opening with a drop lens (see Figure 4), is more complex than the flat lens/open bottom situation due to the fact that the amount of luminous side area in the drop portion of the lens changes with both hori-zontal and

46、vertical viewing angles. For a luminaire side (viewing the length dimension) use the formula: total projected luminous side area = ASP + ABPEquation (7)where: ASP is the projected luminous side area (length) viewed at angle ABP is the projected luminous bottom area (length) viewed at angle These are

47、a projections are calculated at “side“ hori-zontal positions for given vertical angle “. The total projected side area is used with the side candela value measured at angle to get the average side luminance of the luminaire. For a luminaire end (viewing the width dimension) use the formula: total pr
