Bachler, J M

This paper provides some guidance to assist plant managers and engineers in managing their light energy problems. Incandescent, flourescent, and high-intensity discharge lamps are compared. Flourescent is still predominant, incandescent is not recommended-and HID is rapidly gaining favor. Lamp life and lumen depreciation must be determined. Light loss factors which are not recoverable are: luminaire ambient temperature, voltage to the luminaire, ballast factor, and luminaire surface dirt depreciation. Light loss factors which can be recovered by plant maintainence are: room surface dirt depreciation, lamp failures, lamp lumen depreciation, and luminaire dirt depreciation. A method to determine the savings that may result from group relamping versus spot replacement is given. Finally, energy management steps, to maximize performance, are listed.
