Guidelines for easy selection – Explanation of type numbers 

To help you specify we have developed two product categories: 

Luminaire programmes and Modular programmes. 

Each category has its own specifying and ordering procedures: 

Luminaire programmes 

A ‘Luminaire specification’ 

table is a simple product listing. 

Each product is listed alongside 

its standard features such as the 

number of lamps, lamp colour 

optic type, etc. Please order 

these through your normal 

Philips Lighting supplier. 

Modular programmes 

Modular programmes describe 

product ranges that offer a wide 

choice of features and optional 

extras – you choose the 

combination.The ‘Luminaire 

specification’ tables (see example 

below) show what is possible. 

Simply choose one item from 

each column to form the full 

type number.

Safety and protection of luminaires 

Approvals and standards 

Luminaires sold in the market are expected to comply with the 

appropriate safety rules as laid down in the European standard EN 

60598 prepared by the CEN/CENELEC (the European Committee 

for Electrotechnical Standardisation). 

AEE 

MARKA DE CONFORMIDAD A NORMAS UNE 


As European norms are taken over in the national norms and 

published as such, all electrical equipment available in Europe should 

comply with these norms.The European testing institutes 

introduced the ENEC logo in January 1993. 

All luminaires supplied by Philips Lighting comply with the most 

recent European directives as indicated by the ENEC and CE marking 

on the product and packaging.

Electrical supply 

An important step to harmonise the European market is the definition 

of a uniform electrical voltage. From 2003 onwards the voltage 

is 230 V/400 V with a tolerance of 10%. 

Philips Lighting indoor luminaires are designed for the future and will 

operate well on the supply of today and tomorrow.An example is 

electronic ballasts designed for a rated mains voltage of 220-240 V, 

with tolerance for safety of +/- 10% and tolerances for performance 

of –8% and +6% covering the full range between 202 V and 254 V. 

Ambient temperature 

Philips indoor luminaires are designed to meet the (environmental) 

conditions under which they are most likely to be used. 

The maximum ambient temperature Ta under which a luminaire can 

be safely applied, is indicated on the label on the products; if no 

indication is given the product is meant for a maximum ambient 

temperature of 25°C.The ambient temperature always refers to the 

typical use of the luminaire: indoors or outdoors.The majority of 

luminaires developed for office, shop and general indoor applications 

show no T a , thus meaning 25°C. Luminaires designed for industrial 

high-bay applications are designed for ambient temperatures as high 

as 40 to 45°C.The use of luminaires above their specified maximum 

ambient temperature may reduce safety margins and will in any case 

lead to a reduction of the lifetime of the various components; 

especially electronic equipment (ballasts and controls) is sensitive to 

overheating and lifetime will be reduced.Although using luminaires at 

(extremely) low temperatures does not normally affect safety, the 

operating (especially starting) of the lamp may be influenced. 

Fluorescent lamps should not be used below –5°C to –10°C, 

whereas high-intensity discharge lamps function well below –20°C. 

Upon request special solutions are often possible for higher or lower 

ambient temperatures. 

Electrical safety (classes) 

Electrical equipment is classified according to protection against 

electrical shock. In normal operation as well as during service and 

maintenance, luminaires should be protected against electrical shock. 

The safety of a luminaire depends on electrical, mechanical and 

thermal aspects; both under normal and fault conditions. 

The electrical safety classification drawn up by the IEC embraces 

four luminaire classes: Class 0, I, II and III. Class 0 luminaires are not 

available from Philips Lighting. Class III is only applicable to Safety 

Extra-Low Voltage luminaires (SELV).The table gives a brief 

description of each electrical safety class.The official definitions are 

too long to be reproduced in full here, but can be summarised as 

printed below. If a proper earth connection is available, Class I 

luminaires are applied. However, when no earth connection, or only a 

poor-quality earth connection is available, or where eddy currents 

are present, Class II luminaires shall be applied. Class II waterprotected 

luminaires are applied in (semi-)outdoor locations. Local 

electricity boards can provide the appropriate advice. 

Class I - symbol 

Luminaires in this class, besides being electrically insulated, are also 

provided with an earthing point (labelled) connecting all those 

exposed metal parts that could conceivably become live in the 

presence of a fault condition. 

Where the luminaire is provided with a flexible power lead, this must 

include an earth wire.Where this is not the case, the degree of 

electrical protection afforded by the luminaire is the same as that 

afforded by Class 0. 

Where a connection block is employed instead of a power lead, the 

metal housing must be connected to the earth terminal on the block. 

The provision made for earthing the luminaire must in all other 

respects satisfy the requirements laid down for Class I. 

Class II - symbol 

Class II luminaires are so designed and constructed that exposed 

metal parts cannot become live.This can be achieved by means of 

either reinforced or double insulation, there being no provision for 

protective earthing. In the case of a luminaire provided with an earth 

contact as an aid to lamp starting, but where this earth is not 

connected to exposed metal parts, the luminaire is nevertheless 

regarded as being of Class I. 

A luminaire having double or reinforced insulation and provided with 

an earth connection or earth contact must be regarded as a Class I 

luminaire. 

However, where the earth wire passes through the luminaire as part 

of the provisions for through-wiring the installation, and it is 

electrically insulated from the luminaire using Class II insulation, then 

the luminaire remains Class II. 

Class III - symbol 

The luminaires in this class are those in which protection against 

electric shock relies on supply at Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV), 

and in which voltages higher than those of SELV (50 V a.c. r.m.s.) are 

not generated. An a.c. operating voltage of 42 V maximum is common. 

A Class III luminaire should not be provided with a means for 

protective earthing.

Protection against ingress of solid bodies, dust and 

moisture 

The Ingress Protection system (IP) EN 60529, 1991 defines various 

degrees of protection against the ingress of foreign bodies, dust and 

moisture.The term ‘foreign bodies’ includes things like fingers and 

tools coming into contact with the electrical live parts of the 

luminaire. 

Both safety aspects (contact with live parts) and harmful effects on 

the function of the luminaire are defined.The exact testing method 

for each IP classification is described in EN 60529. 

Note that the conditions during testing might differ from the specific 

conditions in an application. 

The designation to indicate the degree of protection consists of the 

characteristic letters IP followed by 2 digits indicating conformity 

with the conditions stated in the two tables.All Philips Lighting 

luminaires fulfil the minimum classification: IP 20 (protected against 

finger contact with live parts), however a selection of luminaires, 

especially those for industrial applications, meet a higher IP 

classification. 

It is important to realise that the specification and safety of 

luminaires are only secured if the necessary maintenance according 

to the instructions of the manufacturer is carried out in time. 

Luminaires are not available in all possible combinations of ingress 

and moisture protection.The most common applications of the IP 

classifications for luminaires are: 

IP 20 

Luminaires which can be applied indoors only if no specific pollution 

rates are expected. Offices, dry, heated industrial halls, shops, 

shopping malls and theatres are typical application segments. 

IP 21/22 

Luminaires which can be applied in unheated (industrial) halls and 

under canopies as the luminaires are drip-and condensation-waterprotected. 

IP 23 

Luminaires which can be applied in unheated industrial halls or 

outdoors. 

IP 43/44 

Luminaires and bollards for outdoor street lighting and street 

lanterns. Bollards mounted at a low height are protected against 

small solid objects and against rain and splash. 

A common combination within an industrial high-bay luminaire or 

street lantern is IP 43 for the electrical part of the luminaire, to 

secure safety, and IP 54/65, for the optical part of the Iuminaire, to 

prevent pollution of reflector and lamp. 

IP 50 

Luminaires which are applied in dusty environments, to prevent rapid 

pollution of the luminaire. 

The exterior of IP 50 luminaires can be cleaned easily. In the food 

industry, closed luminaires are specified to prevent glass particles 

from accidentally broken lamps entering the production area and 

contaminating the products under preparation. 

Although ingress protection is specified to protect the luminaire 

function, it also means that particles cannot leave the luminaire 

housing, thereby meeting the specification of the food industry. 


In the ‘wet’ food industry, luminaires meeting the IP 50 classification 

shall not be applied. 

IP 54 

The traditional water-protected classification. Luminaires can be 

cleaned with water without any harmful effect.This classification is 

often specified in the food processing industry, for industries where 

dust and moisture are generated in the hall, and for use under 

canopies. 

IP 60 

Luminaires which are completely sealed against dust accumulation, 

and are used in very dusty environments (wood and textile industry, 

stone carving) and in the food industry as explained above. IP 60 

luminaires are rarely applied; IP 65/IP 66 is usually applied instead. 

IP 65/66 

Jet-proof Iuminaires which are applicable where the surroundings are 

hosed down frequently by water jets, or where luminaires are 

applied in a dusty environment.Although the luminaires are not fully 

watertight, the potential ingress of moisture will not have any 

harmful effect on the luminaire function. IP 65/66 luminaires are 

often available in impact-protected versions. 

IP 67/68 

Luminaires complying with this classification are suitable for 

immersion in water. 

Typical application areas are underwater lighting of swimming pools 

and fountain Iighting. 

Deck lighting on ships should also meet this classification. 

The test method does not imply that IP 67/68 Iuminaires meet the 

IP 65/66 classifications as well. 

High-bay luminaires illuminate an IP 20 classified area.

Protection against mechanical shock 

The impact resistance of a luminaire defines the protection of the 

luminaire against mechanical shock.The European norm EN 50102 

defines the degrees of protection against external mechanical impact 

(IK code) and the method of testing.The luminaire housing should 

withstand the defined energy of the mechanical shock without losing 

its electrical and mechanical safety, or the basic luminaire function. 

Translated into a more practical implementation, this means that 

after withstanding the shock, deformation of the mirror and housing 

is allowed, although broken lamps, an unsafe electrical situation and 

failure to meet the specified IP classifications are not permitted. 

The impact resistance is expressed as a group numeral, for instance 

IK06, which is related to the impact energy in joule. 

Ball impact resistance 

Especially for indoor sports halls, ball-impact-resistant luminaires are 

essential.As no European norms have been developed, Philips 

Lighting has classified the relevant luminaires according to the 

German DIN 18032.According to this norm, luminaires should be 

tested with a ball shooting machine: the luminaire should be targeted 

by 36 handballs with a speed of 60 km/h. 

After the test, no essential damage to the luminaire should have 

occured. 

No loose particles should drop down from the luminaire. 

The symbol for a ball-impact-resistant luminaire is a football. 

Luminaires with a grid width exceeding 60 mm are not to 

be used in tennis sports halls. 

Flammability 

From the point of view of flammability, luminaires can always be 

mounted on non-flammable building materials like concrete and 

stone. However, when mounting luminaires on flammable materials 

special measures should be taken. Luminaires for discharge lamps 

with an F-sign are suitable to be mounted on building surfaces which 

do not ignite below 200°C. 

Luminaires for discharge lamps with an FF-sign have a limited surface 

temperature, and are suitable to be mounted on easily flammable 

surfaces. 

All types of luminaires of Philips Lighting have a minimum impact 

resistance of 0.2 J.The table shows the ten IK classifications and the 

defined shock energy in joule. 

For example: an IK07 classified luminaire can withstand a mechanical 

shock of a pendulum hammer, a spring hammer or a free-falling 

hammer of 2 joule (e.g. a hammer of 0.5 kg falling 0.40 m). 

Note that vandal-proof Iuminaires are not available: vandal-protected 

and vandal-resistant are the best achievable classifications.

Safety distance 

Especially in the application of reflector lamps and luminaires with 

narrow beam distributions, a minimum distance between light source 

and illuminated surface has to be ensured.This is to prevent too high 

temperatures.Values for safety distances are specified on the 

luminaire's packing.The specified values must be considered as the 

shortest distances permitted between the light source and the 

illuminated surface or object.


Gear types 

Fluorescent lamps and high-intensity discharge lamps require a device 

to limit the current due to the negative current-voltage 

characteristics.Traditionally this is realised with electromagnetic 

control gear in combination with either a glow-switch or electronic 

starter.Almost the complete range of fluorescent and high-intensity 

discharge luminaires of Philips Lighting are available with the 

electromagnetic ballast system. From the point of view of energy 

consumption, the electromagnetic control gear system is not 

efficient: the losses in the ballast system are relatively high, and 

significant improvements are possible by applying electronic control 

gear instead. 

Electronic control gear offers a number of advantages in comparison 

with traditional electromagnetic ballasts: 

- The electronic ballast offers interesting cost savings, such as a 

reduction in energy consumption of about 25%, a substantial 

extension of the lamp life up to 50% and thus a lowering of 

maintenance costs. 

- Application of electronic ballasts adds to the comfort in numerous 

ways: no cathode flicker occurs; at the end of lamp life the lamp is 

automatically switched off; smooth and rapid starting is ensured 

without flickering; and no stroboscopic effects can arise due to the 

high frequency at which the lamps are operated. 

- Extra safety is assured through over-voltage detection, protected 

control of the mains voltage input and a noticeably lower operating 

temperature. 

- Flexibility is enhanced: installations with fluorescent lamps, for 

instance, are dimmable if a regulating ballast is selected, allowing for 

adjustment of lighting levels to personal preference and the 

opportunity for additional savings on energy, e.g. by daylight-linked 

lighting control. 

Following the trend towards greater efficiency and comfort, some 

of the newer fluorescent lamps like all TL5 and high-wattage 

PL-L types will operate only on electronic control gear. 

Philips offers four options when selecting high-frequency ballasts 

for fluorescent lamps: HF-BASIC for situations with infrequent onand-off 

switching; HF-PERFORMER where the demands are 

greater; HF-REGULATOR for areas where there is frequent 

dimming; and HF-DALI ballast working in accordensie with the 

DALI Protocol. 

- HF-DALI (HFD): 

Electronic regulating ballast for TL5, PL-L and TL-D lamps. 

The high-frequency regulating ballasts permit light output 

regulation down to 3% of the DALI control input. 

- HF-REGULATOR (HFR): 

Electronic regulating ballast for TL5, PL-L and TL-D lamps. 

These high-frequency regulating ballasts permit light output 

regulation down to 3% of the maximum light output by the 1-10 V 

control input. Up to 60% reduction in energy consumption can be 

achieved by using automatic lighting control systems like Luxsense 

or Multisense.All Philips HF-Regulator electronic ballasts are fitted 

with alpha-control.This dedicated integrated circuit ensures that 

lamp life is unaffected by the dimming position; that lamp burning is 

stable in every dimming position; and that energy savings are 

maximised when dimming. 

- HF-PERFORMER (HFP): 

Electronic ballast for TL5, PL-L and TL-D lamps. 

These high-frequency ballasts offer low energy consumption. 

A warm-start circuit preheating the lamp electrodes enables the 

lamp to be switched on and off without reducing useful life. 

- HF-BASIC (HFB): 

Electronic ballast for TL-D lamps (only for 36 W and 58 W lamps) 

These high-frequency ballasts offer low energy consumption. 

Luminaires with these ballasts are only to be applied in situations 

where switching is infrequent as the lamp electrodes are not preheated 

(‘cold start’) before ignition.

False ceilings 

Ceiling types – introduction 

Today, architects and building contractors can choose from an 

enormous variety of ceiling systems, especially ones designed for 

offices and other general applications. Use of climate ceilings 

(cooled) is growing. 

The four main standard ceiling types are: 

1.Visible profile ceilings 

2. Concealed profile ceilings 

3. Strip ceilings 

4. Panel ceilings 

Obviously, there are small differences between ceiling types, but the 

application of luminaires and the accessories you will need for 

mounting them are the same for all the systems. 

The four standard system types discussed here represent the vast 

majority of ceiling systems currently available.Also real “projectmade” 

plaster ceilings are used more and more and seen as 

aesthetical pleasing solutions. If you decide to use another type of 

system, contact your Philips organisation and they will inform you 

about the options in your specific situation. If no standard solution is 

available, a special solution in the luminaire concept can be discussed. 

1. Visible profile ceilings 

In this very common system, profiles are 

always visible. Ceiling tiles rest on the 

profiles and are in most cases made from 

a mineral material. 

The two standard module sizes are 

300 mm and 312,5 mm. 

The most popular tiles in this type of 

ceiling are for ceiling grids of 600x600 mm 

and 600x1200 mm, or 625x625 mm and 

625x1250 mm. In this type of ceiling, 

luminaires will be mounted as an inlay. 

Applications 

These ceiling types are usually used when 

electrical wiring, LANs and other technical 

installations are hidden behind the ceiling. 

Also in this application the ceiling should 

contribute to the acoustic environment. 

All Philips recessed luminaires are suitable 

for this kind of ceiling. 


Ceiling tile materials 

Different ceiling types use panels or tiles of different materials. 

The most popular materials are: 

Mineral (hard and soft) 

These are produced in thicknesses between 14 and 20 mm. 

Mineral tiles are usually painted and always mechanically vulnerable. 

Acoustic qualities of these types of ceilings are reasonable. 

Plaster 

Plaster ceilings are usually 10-15 mm thick and are non-removable 

ceilings. If recessed luminaires are to be used in this kind of ceiling 

an opening has to be cut out before mounting the luminaire. 

Metal 

Metal is used in tiles, strips and/or panels. In some cases they are 

perforated and have a sound-insulating layer on top.This layer helps 

to create good acoustic quality. Recessed luminaires are usually 

designed so that they can replace a complete ceiling tile.


2. Concealed profile ceilings 

In this type of ceiling, the profiles are 

covered by the tile and are not visible. 

Tiles are made from a mineral type of 

material or metal. In these types of 

systems, suspension brackets are always 

needed. 

3. Strip ceilings 

This ceiling system consists of main 

carriers on which metal strips are clicked. 

They have various widths. Luminaires are 

usually mounted in line with the strips and 

perpendicular to the main carriers. In that 

case, a length profile mounted to the side 

of the luminaire is required, or suspension 

brackets at the head of the luminaire when 

the luminaire fits in exactly between two 

main carriers. (See figures) 

4. Panel ceiling systems 

The main carriers of these systems are 

usually placed at the main building modules. 

These are often 1200 or 1800 mm. Ceiling 

panels are mounted between the main 

carriers. In this type of ceiling, metal and 

mineral panels are used. 

If the distance between the main carriers 

does not fit with the luminaire length 

these luminaires can be lengthened so that 

they can be mounted between the main 

carriers. For profile A, the luminaire can 

be mounted as an inlay. Safety brackets 

can be delivered on request with the 

luminaire. 

When profile B is used, brackets are 

required and must be ordered separately. 

Also a 100% copy of the ceiling tile can be 

used with integrated luminaires. 

Applications 

Areas like corridors, airports, etc. 

Applications 

Areas where removable partition walls are 

used and acoustic performance of 

highquality is required. In corridors each 

panel can span the total width (e.g. 1.8 m).

The Utilisation Factor table enables the lighting designer to 

determine the number of luminaires required, or to calculate the 

illuminance realised with a certain lighting installation.Although a lot 

of calculation work has been taken over by computer, the Utilisation 

Factor table is still a handy tool for lighting designers.The Utilisation 

Factor (UF) of a lighting installation represents the percentage of the 

luminous flux of the lamp(s) that reaches the defined working plane 

in the room, which has to be seen as the efficiency of the lighting 

installation.The Utilisation Factor depends on: 

- light distribution of the luminaire 

- luminaire efficiency 

- reflection of ceiling, walls and floor/working plane of the room 

- room index k

The quantity estimation diagram gives a quick insight into the number of 

luminaires that will be needed to reach the desired illuminance in a room. 

The diagram gives the number of luminaires of one type needed for 

different lighting levels, as a function of the area to be illuminated.Three 

different diagrams exist.They are based on three fixtures' mounting 

heights (2.8, 6 or 9 m, depending on the typical application,) and are made 

for fixed reflection factors, as indicated in the diagram.The quantity 

estimation diagram should only be used when the luminaires are placed 

in a regular pattern, in, on or suspended from the ceiling. For calculation 

purposes the space to be illuminated is considered to be rectangular. 

The example shows that if 750 lux is required in an area of 100 m 2 

,32 

luminaires have to be installed.The information from this diagram should 

be considered as a guideline. For exact figures, the lumen method or 

computer calculations are required.The maintenance factor used for this 

diagram is 1.0 but in practical situations a real maintenance factor has to 

be taken into consideration.

The Unified Glare Rating is an indication of the direct glare 

perceived in a certain space illuminated by artificial lighting. 

According to CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) the 

Unified Glare Rating (UGR) should be determined according to the 

CIE tabular method.


UGR is given in 5 classes (UGR= 16, 19, 22, 25 and 28; the lower 

the UGR, the less direct glare is perceived from the total of the 

luminaires in the installation).As the CIE tabular method does not 

give a quick insight into the UGR characteristics of a specific 

installation, Philips Lighting has developed the UGR diagram. 

For each installation with one type of luminaire, the UGR value to 

be expected in the application can be determined from this diagram. 

Note that the UGR values are given for two viewing directions to 

the luminaire, endwise and crosswise, and that the UGR might vary 

depending on the size of the space under consideration.The highest 

UGR value determines the quality of the installation. In the UGR 

diagram the UGR is represented for the specified height and 

reflection factors.

luminaire spacing (m) 

Downlights are often used for general lighting.Applying downlights, 

very attractive lighting with high contrast can be realised, but also 

diffuse uniform lighting.This very much depends on the light 

distribution of the specific downlight. 

The visual ambience diagram gives information on: 

- The spacing between the downlights required to obtain a certain 

average illuminance level at a specific mounting height. 

- The uniformity of the chosen lighting solution for different 

horizontal planes. 

Spacing: 

At the horizontal top axis, the average horizontal illuminance level is 

given (800, 400, 200, 100 and 50 lux). For each illuminance two 

curved lines are visible in the diagram: 

- the left curve is valid for a small room with 4 x 4 luminaires in a 

square arrangement. 

- the right curve is valid for a large room with 10 x 10 luminaires in 

a square arrangement. 

For narrow-beam luminaires the differences between the small-room 

luminaire arrangement and the large-room installation are minor, 

resulting in one curved line only. 

The distance between the luminaire and the reference plane, on 

which the average horizontal illuminance is calculated, is indicated on 

the left vertical axis. 

The luminaire spacing to obtain the selected horizontal illuminance 

at the specified distance from the ceiling can be found on the lower 

horizontal axis.

Uniformity: 

The resulting uniformity for the selected spacing can be read from 

the diagram for various horizontal planes.The uniformity is defined 

as Emin /Emax.Three straight sloping lines in the diagram indicate three 

uniformity values: 0.1, 0.3 and 0.6.The uniformity determines the 

lighting effect that will be obtained: 

-Emin /Emax > 0.6 (in the diagram below the 0.6 uniformity line).The 

arrangement of downlights creates diffused, uniform lighting, and so 

a ‘functional’ lighting ambience. 

- 0.1 < Emin /Emax < 0.6 (in the diagram in between the 0.6 and 0.1 

uniformity lines).The arrangement of downlights creates a lighting 

ambience that varies from lively to very contrasting. 

-Emin /Emax < 0.1 (in the diagram above the 0.1 uniformity line). 

The arrangement of downlights results in a non-uniform horizontal 

illuminance.The effect of the individual luminaires is clearly visible on 

the horizontal surface. 

In practice, it is important to check uniformity not only on the 

working plane, but also at different heights, for example at eye level. If 

the resulting uniformity is not in accordance with to the requirements 

of the application, another type of luminaire should be selected.

The isolux diagram shows the illuminated area for rotationally 

symmetrical light distributions by means of isolux curves. 

The horizontal illuminance is indicated in relation to the distance 

(vertical and horizontal) to the luminaire. 

The shape of the isolux curves is dependent on the beam spread of 

the luminaire.

/ 2 Imax indicate this in the graph.Additionally, the connected 

table offers the user information on: 

- the resulting illuminance at the beam centre. (E 0) 

- the diameter of the area in which the illuminance is better or equal 

to 50% of the illuminance E 0. 

- the diameter of the area in which the luminous intensity is better 

or equal to 50% of Imax, the intensity in the beam centre. 




However, the luminous intensity graph in the cartesian intensity 

diagram gives a much better indication of the beam shape.The 

luminous intensity in the cartesian diagram is given in absolute candela 

values.Along the horizontal axis the -values of the C-plane are given, 

while the vertical axis shows the absolute intensity values in candela.

of the application, another type of luminaire should be selected.

For more detailed information on the Accent Factor see the relevant 

section in this chapter. 

With the visual impact diagram, the accent lighting effect of a 

projector can be determined as a function of the average horizontal 

illuminance and the distance from the projector to the object. 

The visual impact diagram can be used in two ways: 

- It can determine the distance from projector to object to achieve 

specific accent factor at a given horizontal illuminance. Example 

(see solid line in diagram): an accent factor of 10 (theatrical) at a 

horizontal illuminance of 300 lux is realised at a distance from 

projector to object of 4 metres. 

- It can determine the accent factor when the horizontal illuminance 

and the distance from projector to object are given. Example (see 

dashed line in diagram): at a horizontal illuminance of 500 lux with 

distance from projector to object of 2 metres, an accent factor of 

approx. 30 (dramatic) is realised.

The beam diagram shows the characteristics of the light beam 

produced by the luminaire / lamp combination (projectors, 

downlights, reflector lamps, fibre-optic terminations).The diagram 

gives the Visual Beam Angle (VBA), the beam spread angle (1/2 Imax) 

and the sharpness of the contour as indicated by the K value. 

Additionally, it offers the user information about the diameter of the 

visual light patch and the diameter of the area whose boundary has a 

luminous intensity equal to 50% of the maximum value. 

These diameters are available for a range of vertical distances below 

the luminaire.The illuminance in the centre of the beam (E 0) is 

available for the same range of vertical distances below the luminaire. 

The VBA specifies the angle at which the contour of the beam is 

clearly visible. In contrast to the beam spread angle, the VBA reflects 

what is perceived when looking at the visual light patch. 

The beam-spread angle ( 1 

/ 2 Imax) reflects the angle over which the 

luminous intensity drops to 50% of its peak value.The beam-spread 

angle does not reflect the visual appearance of the visual light patch.

UGR according CEN recommendation 

Glare and glare-reducing techniques are important aspects in interior 

and especially in office and industrial lighting. Since the 1970s the 

lighting industry and standardisation institutes have developed various 

methods to evaluate glare.Additional to this, the lighting industry has 

developed advanced optical techniques to reduce the glare to 

required levels. However a clear distinction should be made between: 

- Direct glare 

- Reflected glare cause by a combination of a bright source and 

reflection in a polished surface. (See drawing.) 

Standards in lighting are developed to define both. In the 1970s 

methods were developed to standardise the direct glare restrictions. 

With the introduction of computer screens, especially early models, 

there were highly reflective dark screens which gave rise to problems 

in office environments. Subsequently, methods to analyse reflected 

glare in computer screens have been developed for direct lighting. 

Direct lighting uses luminaires designed to emit the majority of their 

light output directly onto the working plane. Direct luminaires can be 

surface-mounted, recessed into the ceiling or suspended.They are 

generally viewed as individually lit objects in the space, and for this 

reason can appear as a distinct and distracting object when reflected 

on a display screen. 

If the screen displays light characters (words and numbers, etc) on a 

dark screen background, (as originally the case with the firstgeneration 

VDUs) the reflected image will be seen against this dark 

background. However, if the information is displayed with dark 

characters on a light background, the reflections will be less visible 

against the lighter background. Most modern screens and user 

software programs today are set like this.To avoid glare problems, 

CEN established luminance limits for luminaires, for typical screen 

qualities.These are shown in Table 1. 

Table 1. 

≤ 200 cd/m 2 

Note: 

a) The appropriate (CEN) luminance limit for luminaires can be selected when the 

nature of the screens and software to be used is known. If this information is 

unknown or subject to doubt, the lower limit of 200 cd/m 2 

should be selected. 

b) The DSE and, in some circumstances the keyboard, may suffer from reflections 

causing disability and/or discomfort glare. It is therefore necessary to select, 

locate and arrange the luminaires to avoid high brightness reflections. The 

designer should determine the mounting zone causing disturbance, then choose 

equipment and plan mounting positions which will cause no disturbing reflections. 

Luminaire luminance limits with downward flux 

Table 1 gives the limits of the average luminaire luminance at 

elevation angles of 65° and above from the downward vertical, 

radially around the luminaires for workplaces where display 

screens, which are vertical or inclined up to 15° tilt angle, are used. 

65° 

L ≤ 1000 cd/m 2

Note: 

For certain special places using, for example sensitive screens or variable inclination, 

these illuminance limits should be applied for lower elevation angles (e.g. 55°) of 





1. Noticeable visual effect (Factor 2:1). 

2. Low theatrical effect (Factor 5:1). 

3. Theatrical effect (Factor 15:1). 

4. Dramatic effect (Factor 30:1). 

Can only be achieved with relatively 

low general lighting levels. 

5. Very dramatic effect (Factor 50:1). 

Can only be achieved with relatively low 

general lighting levels. 


Accent factor 

The visual effect when highlighting an object is determined by two 

things: the contrast between the object and its surrounding 

background, this is called contrast; and, the shadow effects in the 

object itself caused by the form of object and the position of the 

spotlight, this is called modelling.The main lighting characteristics of 

light sources to achieve the required contrast are the size and the 

sharpness of the contour of the visual beam. In a first approximation, 

the contrast between an object lit by a projector and its surrounding 

background is given by the ratio Eobject/Ebackground. In most diffuse general 

lighting schemes, Ebackground is closely related to Ehorizontal.When planning 

accent lighting, it is important to determine the required effect or 

accent factor, which may vary from ‘noticeable’ to ‘very dramatic’.The 

issue is the relationship between the amount of general lighting in the 

direct vicinity of the object and the brightness of the spot on the 

object. It is calculated by dividing the lighting level in the spot by the 

general lighting level in the horizontal plane, approximately 1 metre 

above the floor in the direct vicinity of the object. 

Lighting level in the spot (on illuminated object) 

Accent factor = General lighting level (horizontal plane) 

To obtain satisfactory effects in situations where the level of general 

lighting is high, powerful accent lighting should be used.

5 50:1 Very dramatic


K1 is a profile spot without any spill 

light; this effect is achieved by equipping 

the luminaire with a mechanical or 

optical device that cuts off the spill 

light; in this way, beams of different 

shapes can be produced. 

This classification can have high- or 

low-intensity beams, depending on the 

power and efficiency of the system. 

K2 is a spot which stands out due to its 

sharp shift to a minimal amount of spill 

light; this type of beam is excellent for 

creating theatrical and dramatic effects. 

This classification is usually associated 

with very high-intensity beams. 

K3 has a hard shift from a highintensity 

spot to spill light; the spill light 

is seen as a narrow ring of light around 

the spot. 

This classification is usually associated 

with high-intensity beams which are 

very suitable for creating theatrical 

effects. 

K4 has a soft shift from a relatively 

strong spot to a great deal of spill light; 

the spill light assists considerably in 

lighting the general surroundings. 

K5 is a uniformly wide beam without 

any visible spot and is, as a result, 

suited to general or supplementary 

lighting. 

Beam characteristics – K-beam categories 

Accent lighting requires a controlled beam of light, obtained by a 

lamp and a reflector, which in many cases is integrated into the lamp 

itself.The ultimate effect is largely determined by the characteristics 

of the beam.The important factors are the intensity, the shape and 

the dimensions of the spotlight created by the beam and the amount 

of spill light. Spill light is the amount of light that is allowed to spread 

outside the actual beam. 

A 'hard-edged' beam is a light beam with little or no spill light and 

gives a sharply defined contrast. It lends itself to very dramatic 

lighting effects. 

A 'soft-edged' beam has a higher degree of spill light and will result 

in a lower contrast with the surrounding area.The effects are much 

softer than those obtained with a hard-edged beam.To help you 

make the right selection, Philips has a special classification for its 

reflector lamps and lamp/reflector combinations, identifying five socalled 

K-beam factors.The final effect is, of course, influenced by the 

contrast between the ambient lighting and the lighting intensity of 

the beam. 

Identifying the five K-beam categories 

The illustrations here give a good impression of the effects of the 

various types of light beams identified by the Philips K-beam 

classification.The relevant light beam creates these effects only, 

without any supplementary lighting. 



Optic guide – Specifications 

Optics to suit all requirements 

The 'optic' in a luminaire is the reflector and/or refractor system 

that controls the light direction and beam pattern of the luminaire. 

It is an essential control device. Not surprisingly then, Philips offers 

many different types of optics, each one designed to perform a 

specific function. 

But which optic is best for the particular situation at hand? 

The function of the area to be illuminated and the task to be 

performed usually determine the optic and luminaire you need, while 

the ceiling system often determines the dimensions of the luminaire. 

However, the luminaire-optic combination must fulfil the lighting

requirements for each specific area. 

The number of lamps and the optic selection depends on the 

importance of the task to be performed in the area, and the area's 

dimensions. 

In addition, other requirements, such as image, efficiency and 

aesthetics, will influence the decision. 

Glare control 

Glare is one important factor which often influences the performance 

of lighting.There are in general two aspects described in the 

European standard EN12464-1. (See page 14 and page 17 lighting for 

workstations with display screen equipment).

Information – Specification data lamps 

Colour characteristics of lamps 

Lamps do not all emit light of the same colour.There is, for example, 

a striking difference between the pronounced amber light from 

standard sodium lamps, and the white light from most other lamps. 

Even then, one white light is not the same as another.To select the 

proper light source for their colour characteristics, two parameters 

are important: the colour temperature of the emitted light and the 

colour rendering. 

Colour temperature 

The colour of the light has an important influence on the colour 

impression of the area, the colour temperature of the light source 

plays an essential role. Light is popularly termed ‘cool’ or ‘warm’. 

However, to enable an objective comparison of the colour 

impressions from various sources, subjective impressions such as 

these are inadequate.A precise scale is required, and this is given by 

the term ‘correlated colour temperature’; 

the colour gradation of the light is compared with the light emitted 

by an intensely heated iron bar of which the temperature is known. 

In this way, the light colour can be specified by a value in Kelvin (K). 

Four categories, as a practical guideline, are: 

2500 - 2800 K.Warm/Cosy. 

The colour from incandescent lamps, the fluorescent and compact 

fluorescent lamps in the colours /827 and /927 and the SDW-T 

White SON lamp. Generally used for intimate and cosy 

environments where the emphasis is on a peaceful relaxing 

ambience. 

2800 - 3500 K.Warm/Neutral. 

The colour from halogen lamps, colour /830 and /930 fluorescent 

lamps and MASTER Colour /830 lamps. Used in places where people 

are active, requiring a welcoming comfortable ambience. 

3500 - 5000 K. Neutral/Cool. 

The light colour from /840 and /940 fluorescent lamps as well as 

MASTER Colour /942 and MHN metal halide lamps. Usually applied 

in commercial areas and offices where a look of cool efficiency is 

desired. 

5000 K and above. Daylight. 

Daylight and cool daylight.The light colour that best matches natural 

daylight, such as fluorescent colours /850, /865, /950 and /965. 

Colour rendering 

It is often assumed that once a colour temperature has been chosen, 

the colour impression is determined.This is not the case.The colour 

impression is not solely determined by the colour temperature of 

the light source, but also by the colour rendering properties. 

Moreover, colour temperature and colour rendering are completely 

separate parameters. Cool daylight and incandescent lamps have fully 

natural colour rendering properties.The same is true for halogen 

lamps.The reason for this is the continuous spectrum of the sources. 

On the other hand, most gas discharge sources have an interrupted 

or line spectrum.This has an influence of the quality of their colour 

rendering properties, which varies from very poor (with SOX lowpressure 

sodium gas discharge lamps) to excellent (with the colour 

/90 series fluorescent lamps and mastercolour /942 lamps). 

In selecting a particular lamp type, a clear understanding of the 


colour rendering properties is essential.A fair indication is given by 

the colour rendering index (CRI), which is a standardized scale with 

100 as maximum value. Colours are best shown under a light source 

with the highest colour rendering index. Incidentally, it is only 

worthwhile to compare CRI values of lamps with similar colour 

temperature. 

In practice, three categories are normally found. 

CRI between Ra 90 and 100. 

Excellent colour rendering properties. 

Applications: mainly where correct colour appraisal is a critical task. 

CRI between Ra 80 and 90. 

Good colour rendering properties. 

Applications: in areas where critical colour appraisal is not the 

primary consideration but where good rendition of colours is 

essential. 

CRI below Ra 80. 

Moderate to poor colour rendering properties. 

Applications: in areas where the quality of colour rendering is of 

minor importance. 

This classification is of course dependent upon the demands that a 

particular application makes on a lamp. For example, an Ra of 60 is 

inadequate for shop lighting, but is good for functional road lighting.

Colour temperature and colour rendering 

Correct light colours and correct reproduction of colours assists us 

in recognising our surroundings.The colour climate of an artificiallylit 

space is determined by the light colour and the colour rendering. 

Room furnishings of wood and fabrics in warm or pastel colours 

require warm lighting in the colour /827 or /927. 

The more business-like the interior are, the cooler the light can be. 

Furniture using chromium, glass and marble, or in black and white, 

are emphasised by the cool light colours /840 and /940.

Information – Specification data lamps 

Damage factor / Fading 

Radiation in the form of light or heat can cause damage to objects or 

merchandise being displayed.The extent of deterioration of objects 

upon exposure to light, such as fading colours and disintegration of 

structure and material, depends on: 

- the sensitivity of the material and the capacity of the material to 

absorb and be affected by radiant energy 

- the illumination level 

- the time of exposure to radiation 

- the spectral composition of the radiation. 

Having no classification for the sensitivity of materials related to the 

amount of damage under a certain light source, the only indication 

which can be given is the ‘probable damage’ caused to an object. 

This method ignores the spectral sensitivity of the object concerned, 

and only results in the relative damage caused by one light source 

compared to another. Each light source can be characterised by the 

damage factor DF, which yields the relative damage caused by this 

source compared to other sources, provided the illuminance and 

exposure times are constant. 

The fading risk (FR) is the damage caused by one light source, 

calculated for a certain period of time, relative to a reference. 

A fading risk FR=160 is obtained in a ‘worst-case’ situation, e.g. an 

object in a shop window illuminated by bright sunshine (10,000 lux) 

for a period of 1 hour. 

Example 1: the formula mentioned in the table for an illuminance of 

500 lux, realised with fluorescent lamps /830, results in a fading risk 

FR=2.The fading of pigments occurs here 80 times slower than at 

the reference FR=160, i.e. it is negligible. 

Example 2: an accent projector produces 10,000 lux at a certain 

display.Applying e.g. a MASTER Colour CDM lamp results in a fading 

risk FR=40. 

Light sources with more ultraviolet radiation, such as metal-halide 

lamps without UV-filter or open halogen lamps, might, at high lighting 

levels, result in damaging radiation.

Colour change 

The ability to change the colour temperature of a lighting installation 

makes it possible to create either a more comfortable working 

environment or introduce dynamic lighting effects. 


The ability of a light source to render colours naturally, without 

distorting the hues seen under a black full spectrum radiator (like 

daylight or incandescent lamps).The colour-rendering index CRI 

ranges from 0 to 100. For further details see ‘Specification data 

lamps’. 

Colour rendering index CRI

Where the size of the two parts differs greatly and where: 

L1 = Luminance of the smallest part (the object) 

L2 = Luminance of the greatest part (the background). 

DALI 

Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, a standardised communication 

interface to regulate lighting levels and to switch electronic HFD 

ballasts on and off. 

Daylight linking 

Natural light is energy saving and beneficial to individual users. 

Daylight linking is a technique that regulates light output according to 

daylight conditions, maintaining a constant level of indoor lighting and 

ensuring comfort at all times.

Incandescent lamp in which the inclusion of halogens in the gas 

filling and a high-temperature quartz envelope promote the 

tungsten halogen cycle, permitting higher filament temperature.The 

result is a higher colour temperature and a significantly extended 

life. Halogen lamps are often applied to create sparkling lighting 

effects. 

Halogen HV 

High-voltage (230 V) halogen lamp 

Halogen LV

Luminaire constructed to withstand a direct jet of water from any 

direction. 

Light output ratio (L.O.R.) 

The ratio of the total light emitted by a luminaire to the total light output 

of the lamp(s) it contains.The light output ratio is always less than 1. 

Lumen depreciation 

Decline of light output of a light source during its lifetime. 

Luminaire

source, luminaire or illuminated surface (cd/m 2 

).Where surfaces are 

lit, the luminance is dependent upon both the lighting level and the 

reflection characteristics of the surface itself. 

Unit: cd/m 2 

Symbol: L 

Luminous efficacy 

The quantity of light a light source emits per watt of electrical power 

of energy consumed. Note that both the lamp luminous efficacy and the 

system (lamp and ballast) luminous efficacy can be specified.The system 

luminous efficacy is always lower than the lamp luminous efficacy. 

Luminous flux 

The total light output emitted by a light source.Also the total light 

falling on a surface. Light output of a light source is measured in 

lumen. 

Unit: lumen 

Symbol: 

Luminous intensity 

The luminous flux in a given direction (e.g. from a floodlight, projector). 

Unit: candela (cd) = one lumen per steradian 

Symbol: I 

Lux 

The standard unit of illuminance of a surface being lit. One lux is one 

lumen per square metre. 

Maintained emergency lighting 

Emergency lighting where the lamps are in operation from the 

normal supply during standard conditions. In an emergency situation 

the emergency lamp (usually one lamp in luminaires of two or more 

lamps) remains in operation. 

Maintained illuminance

not allowed to fall.The maintained illuminance is specified at the end 

of the maintenance cycle, taking into consideration the maintenance 

factor. 

It is one of the main specification elements for the lighting designer. 

In the various norms, the maintained illuminance is specified for 

various activities. 

Unit: lux 

Symbol: Em 


Maintenance factor 

Correction factor used in lighting design to compensate for the

it is equal to the cosine of the angle of phase difference between 

voltage and current. For electronic ballasts the power factor is 0.95; 

no extra compensation is required. 

QL 

See Induction lighting. 

SDW-T

lighting controls need to provide both switching and dimming 

capabilities. 

TL5 

Linear double-ended fluorescent lamp with a diameter of only 

16 mm. In combination with OLC optics and high-frequency ballasts, 

the TL5 system offers a superb performance, both light-technically 

and in terms of energy consumption.
