2. Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light. In practice, color temperature is only
meaningful for light sources that do in fact correspond somewhat closely to the radiation
of some black body.
The color temperature of the electromagnetic radiation emitted form an ideal black body
is defined as its surface temperature in KELVINS.
Color temperatures over 5,000K are called cool colors (bluish white), while lower color
temperatures (2,700-3,000 K) are called warm colors (yellowish white through red).
COLOR TEMPERATURE OUTDOOR / INDOOR
3. COLOR TEMPERATURE:
-Defined as the tone of light or how the light looks in terms of whiteness
-Higher the color temperature = whiter/cooler the light source
-Unit measurement = kelvin (K)

6. The color rendering index (CRI), sometimes called color rendition index, is a
quantitative measure of the ability of a light source to reproduce the colors of various
objects faithfully in comparison with an ideal or natural light source.
Color rendering: Effect of an illuminant on the color appearance of objects by
conscious or subconscious comparison with their color appearance under a reference
illuminant.
Finishes should be evaluated under the type of lamp (lamp and/or daylight) which will
actually be used in the interiors.
Color rendition depends on lamp color spectrum, reflective property of surfaces and
context and condition in room.
Judgment of apparent surface color depends also on the experience and expectations
of and individual with normal color vision.

8. Light fixture is integral part of building electrical system,
transforming energy into usable illumination.
Light fixture requires: electrical connection (power
supply), lamp holder, lamp (design to diffuse, reflect,
focus light).
Form of lighting fixture, lighting source, light illumination:
point sources, linear sources, planar sources, volumetric
sources.

HOW?

THE WIRE HEATS IT TO
INCANDESCENCE, AND THE
WIRE EMITS LIGHT. USE
STANDARD VOLTAGE CIRCUIT.
34. INCANDESCENT LAMP
Inside the glass is a gas
such as argon and/or
nitrogen. At the center of
the lamp is a tungsten
filament. Electricity heats
this filament up to about
2,500 degrees Celsius.
Just like any hot metal,
the tungsten gets “white
hot” at that heat and
emits a great deal of
visible light in a process
called incandescence.

50. TUNGSTEN - HALOGEN
A halogen bulb has a filament made of
Tungsten, which glows when electricity is
applied, same as a regular incandescent bulb.
The halogen gas removes the carbon deposits
on the inside of the bulb, caused by the
burning of the tungsten filament, and
redeposit it back on the filament, resulting in
a light bulb which can be burned at a higher

55. LOW - VOLTAGE LAMPS
• LOW – VOLTAGE LAMPS – incandescent and tungsten – halogen
lamps that operate between 6V and 75 V.
• Standard building current of 115 V-125V must be stepped down
by the use of transformer.
• Low–voltage luminaries with integrated transforms are larger in
size and bulkier.
• Practical system is line-voltage equipment.

through a vapor or gas, rather than through a
tungsten wire as in incandescent lamp.

69. HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMPS (HID LAMPS)
• Type of electrical gas-discharge lamp which produces light by
means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed
insides a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused
alumina arc tube.
• This tube is filled with both gas and mental salts. The gas
facilitates the arc’s initial strike. Once the arc is started, it heats
and evaporates the metal salts forming a plasma, which greatly
increases the intensity of light produced by the arc and reduces its
power consumption. High-intensity discharge lamps are a type of
arc lamp.

When energy efficiency and/or
light intensity are desired.
These areas include
gymnasiums, large public
areas, warehouses, movie
theaters, football stadiums,
outdoor activity areas,
roadways, parking lots, and
pathways. Ultra-High
Performance (UHP) HID lamps
are used in LCD or DLP
projection TV sets or projection
displays as well.
74. LED LIGHT
Red and infrared LEDs are made with gallium arsenide
Bright Blue is made with GaN-gallium nitride
White LEDs are made with yttrium aluminum garnet
There are also orange, green, blue, violet, purple, ultraviolet LEDs.
77. BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING
LED lights are usually around 3mm-
8mm long. The small size and
profile of the LED lights allow them
to be used where other light bulbs
may not fit.
78. BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING
Where other lights give off more energy
by shining in different areas, LED lights
only shine in a specific direction
becoming more efficient.
79. BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING
35,000 to 50,000 hours, compared to
750 to 2,000 hours for an
incandescent bulb, 8,000 to 10,000
hours for a compact fluorescent and
20,000 to 30,000 hours for a linear
fluorescent bulb.
80. BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING
LEDs remain cool. In addition, since
they contain no glass components, they
are not vulnerable to vibration or
breakage like conventional bulbs.
LEDs are thus better suited for use in
areas like sports facilities and high-
crime locations.
81. LED LIGHTING
LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit
easily into an electrical circuit. But
unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs,
they don’t have a filament that will
burn out, and they don’t get especially
hot. They are illuminated solely by the
movement of electrons in a
semiconductor material, and they last
just as long as a standard transistor.
The lifespan of an LED surpasses the
short film of an incandescent bulb by
thousands of hours.
