< 15 Illumination Parameters Calculators

Number of Lamps Required for Illumination

Go Number of Lamp = (Illumination Intensity*Area of Illumination)/(Luminous Flux*Utilization Factor*Maintenance Factor)

Index of Refraction

Go Refractive Index of Medium 1 = (Refractive Index of Medium 2*sin(Refracted Angle))/sin(Incident Angle)

Luminance

Go Luminance = Luminous Intensity/(Area of Illumination*cos(Illumination Angle))

Luminous Flux

Go Luminous Flux = (Area of Illumination*Luminous Intensity)/(Length of Illumination^2)

Reduction Factor

Go Reduction Factor = Mean Spherical Candle Power/Mean Horizontal Candle Power

Mean Horizontal Candle Power

Go Mean Horizontal Candle Power = Sum of Candle Power/Number of Lamp

Solid Angle

Go Solid Angle = Area of Illumination/(Radius of Illumination^2)

Maintenance Factor

Go Maintenance Factor = Final Illumination/Initial Illumination

Illumination

Go Illumination Intensity = Luminous Flux/Area of Illumination

Mean Hemi-Spherical Candle Power

Go Mean Hemi Spherical Candle Power = Luminous Flux/(2*pi)

Mean Spherical Candle Power

Go Mean Spherical Candle Power = Luminous Flux/(4*pi)

Lamp Efficiency

Go Lamp Efficiency = Luminous Flux/Input Power

Candle Power

Go Candle Power = Luminous Flux/Solid Angle

Lumens

Go Lumen = Candle Power*Solid Angle

Depreciation Factor

Go Depreciation Factor = 1/Maintenance Factor

Depreciation Factor Formula

Depreciation Factor = 1/Maintenance Factor
DF = 1/MF

What is the purpose of illumination?

Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants. Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures and is a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an intrinsic component of landscape projects.

How to Calculate Depreciation Factor?

Depreciation Factor calculator uses Depreciation Factor = 1/Maintenance Factor to calculate the Depreciation Factor, Depreciation factor refers to a value or percentage used to calculate the reduction in value of an asset over time due to factors such as wear and tear, obsolescence, or aging. The depreciation factor is applied to the original cost or value of the asset to determine its current or remaining value. Depreciation Factor is denoted by DF symbol.

How to calculate Depreciation Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depreciation Factor, enter Maintenance Factor (MF) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depreciation Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.5 = 1/2.
