Study Notes
Architectural Lighting - Luminaires
- Luminaire definition: A lighting device including a lampholder, electrification means, and support structure. Lighting fixtures that are permanently attached to a building are also luminaires.
Types of Luminaires
-
Stationary: Permanently affixed to a structure, including:
-
Downlights: Produce light primarily downwards. This category includes:
- Direct lights: Emit light predominantly downwards.
- Double-focus: High luminous efficiency despite small aperture.
- Washlights: Asymmetrical lighting distribution that illuminates sections of walls, corners, or adjacent wall sections.
- Uplights: Emit light upwards. Can be used for indirect lighting and mounted on walls or floors.
-
Louvered Luminaires: Designed for linear light sources with wide beam distribution. These include:
- Asymmetric louvered: Radiate light primarily in one direction.
- Direct-indirect louvered: Combine direct and indirect light output.
- Air-handling louvered: May include air conditioning in addition to lighting.
-
Downlights: Produce light primarily downwards. This category includes:
-
Movable: Can be repositioned, commonly used as accent lighting for specific areas or subjects. This category includes:
- Spotlights: Used predominantly for accent lighting, often in limited areas, and adjustable to accommodate changing requirements.
- **Wallwashers:**used for accent lighting and are adaptable for changing needs.
Ingress Protection (IP)
- IP ratings indicate the degree of protection against ingress of solid objects, moisture, or water. Higher numbers indicate better protection.
- Specific numbers, for example, IP 67, and their corresponding levels of protection are detailed in the diagrams.
