Basic setup🔗
Each light source produces less luminous flux over time. This is due to the service life of the LEDs and power supply, clouding of the light diffuser or reflector, and dust accumulation.
The basic setting allows you to initially compensate for the over illumination in some areas, resulting from the factor of reserve built into the design or mistakes made by the designer.
The luminaire power reserve is needed to:
- spend energy more efficiently;
- avoid excessive lighting;
- Compensate for future light reductions caused by luminaire performance deterioration.
Guidelines for basic setup🔗
Info
Lighting standards vary from room to room. They are specified in GOST R 55710-2013. The auto brightness adjustment is done during commissioning, so be careful and check the values with a luxmeter to make sure that the lighting is not below the norm.
Maximum luminance of luminaires.
- Try to set no higher than 95-97% to minimize light element degradation and have a margin to maintain.
- The maximum luminance should not be lower than that specified in the lighting calculation or national standard.
- If any work surface has a much higher light level than normal (e.g., due to too close a luminaire), reduce the brightness to the GOST standard or calculation.
Minimum luminaire brightness
- Adjusted individually according to the technical specifications.
- The light zone in which the luminaire is located is taken into account. For more information, see Combination with natural light
On/Off Time
Depends on the type of site:
- Classrooms, classrooms etc. - from 1.4 sec.
- Corridors - 0,7-1 sec.
- Warehouses with high ceilings - no longer than 0.7 sec.
- Warehouses with low ceilings - 1-1.4 sec.
- Bathrooms - 0.7-1 sec.
- Halls and rooms with large light area - 0.7 sec.
- Halls and rooms with small lighting area - 1-1.4 sec.
- Objects with perimeter lighting - 0 sec.
- Objects with cycle work (e.g. poultry houses) - from 1 min. It is not allowed to switch on the light abruptly.
