Light Sources

A Beginning Definition
All objects are emitting and
absorbing EM radiation.
Consider a poker placed in a
fire.
As heating occurs, the emitted EM
waves have higher energy and
eventually become visible.

The Wavelengths of Light

The electromagnetic spectrum spreads over a
tremendous range of frequencies or wavelengths. The
wavelength l is related to the frequency f:
c = fl
c = 3 x 108 m/s
Those EM waves that are visible (light) have wavelengths that range from 0.00004 to 0.00007 cm.

Electrical Lighting
Electrical lighting has following advantages :
Cleanliness
Easy to control
Economical
Easy to handle
Steady output
Better reliability
Suitable for almost all purposes
14

Light
Radiant energy from a hot body which
produced the visual sensation on human eye

is called light.
15

Solid Angle
The angle subtended by the partial surface area of a sphere at its
centre is called as solid angle. It is measured in steradians and

equal to the ratio of area of the surface to the square of radius of
sphere,
= area of surface/ square of radius = A/ r2 steradians
16

Solid Angle
17

A Solid Angle: Steradians

Working with luminous flux requires the use of
a solid angle measure called the steradian (sr).
A solid angle of one steradian
( sr) is subtended at the
(1
center of a sphere by an area
A equal to the square of its
radius ( R2 ).

ISOTROPIC SOURCE

electromagnetic energy equally in all directions.

Four terms are used to describe light

Luminous Flux (lumen)
Luminous Intensity (candela)
Illuminance (lux)
Luminance (candela/m2)
20

Luminous Flux
The total quantity of radiant energy per second
responsible for visual sensation from a

luminous body is called Luminous Flux.
It is represented as F (or) and measured in
lumens.
21

Luminous Flux
Luminous flux is the portion of total radiant power that is
capable of affecting the sense of sight..
Typically only about 10% of

the flux emitted from a light
bulb falls in the visible
region.
The unit for luminous flux is the lumen
22

Lumen
It is the unit of luminous flux. One
lumen is defined as the luminous

flux emitted per unit solid angle
from a point source of one candle
power.
Lumens = candle power * solid angle
23

Luminous Flux (Lumen)
24

Luminous Intensity
The luminous intensity I for a light source is the luminous
flux per unit solid angle.
Luminous intensity:
W
F
I

F

W
Unit is the candela (cd)
A source having an intensity of one candela

emits a flux of one lumen per steradian.
25

Candle power (CP)

Candle power is the light radiating capacity of a source
in a given direction and is defined as the number of
lumens given out by the source in a unit solid angle in
a given direction.
Candle Power = Lumens / solid angle
26

Candela
It is the unit of luminous intensity. It is defined as 1/60th
of the luminous intensity per cm2 of a black body
radiator at the temperature of solidification of
platinum.
27

Luminous flux for Isotropic Source

An isotropic source emits in all
directions; i.e., over a solid
angle of 4 steradians.
Thus, for such
a source, the
intensity is:
F F
I
W 4
Luminous flux: F = 4I
28

W = 4p sr
Illumination of a Surface
The illumination E of a surface A is defined as the luminous
flux per unit area (F/A)
(
in lumens per square meter which is
renamed a lux (lx).
An illumination of one lux

occurs when a flux of one
lumen falls on an area of
one square meter.

Lux or Metre Candle

It is the unit of illumination and is defined as the luminous
flux falling per square meter on the surface which is every
where perpendicular to the rays of light from a source of
one candle power and one meter away from it.
31

Foot-Candle
It is unit of illumination and is defined as the luminous
flux falling per square foot on the surface which is
every where perpendicular to the rays of light from a
source of one candle power and one foot away from it.

reaching the eye.

Luminous Efficacy or efficiency
- measure of a lamps efficiency
-Ratio of the luminous flux to the electrical
power consumed
-- Unit is in lm/W

It is defined as the mean of candle powers in all

directions in all planes from source of light.
Mean Hemi Spherical Candle Power
It is defined as the mean of candle in all directions
above or below the horizontal plane passing through the
source of light.
Mean Horizontal Candle Power
It is defined as the mean of candle powers in all
directions in horizontal plane containing the source of
light.
39

Reduction Factor
Reduction factor of a source of light is
the ratio of its mean spherical candle
power to its mean horizontal candle
power.
Reduction factor = MSCP/ MHCP
40

Important terms
Specific Consumption
It is defined as the ratio of the input to the average candle power.
Glare
It is defined as the brightness within the field of vision of such a
character as to cause annoyance, dis-comfort, interference with
vision or eye fatigue.
Space Height Ratio
It is defined as the ratio of horizontal distance between adjacent
lamps and height of their mountings
41

Important terms
Utilization Factor or Coefficient of Utilization
It is defined as the ratio of total lumens reaching the
working plane to total lumens given out by the lamp.
Maintenance Factor
The ratio of illumination under normal working
conditions to the illumination when the things are perfectly
clean is known as maintenance factor.
Depreciation Factor
It is defined as the ratio of initial meter-candles to the
ultimate maintained meter-candles on the working plane.
42

Important terms
Waste Light Factor:
Whenever a surface is illuminated by a number of sources of
light, there is always a certain amount of waste of light on
account of overlapping and falling of light outside the edges of
the surface. (1.2 for rectangular area, 1.5 for irregular area)
Absorption Factor:
The ratio of total lumens available after absorption to the
total lumens emitted by the source of light is called the absorption
factor.(unity for clean atmosphere and 0.5 for foundries)
Beam Factor:
The ratio of lumens in the beam of a projector to the lumens
given out by lamps is called Beam Factor(0.3-0.6)
43

Reflection Factor
The ratio of reflected light to the incident light is called
the reflection factor.
Solid Angle
It is angle generated by the line passing through the point
in space and the periphery of the area.it is denoted by W.
Steradian
It is the unit of solid angle and is defined as the solid
