The maximum permissible surface temperature and static load on the fitting<br />
for a maximum protrusion above the ground by ground recessed fittings is<br />
indicated by the ‘C’ prefix followed by one number. All luminaires should<br />
meet both IP65 and IP67 protection ratings.<br />

Performance Cones<br />
Cones are for single luminaires<br />
Performance cones indicate beam spread, ie. a narrow, medium or broad<br />
beam of light. The illuminance values given (lux/Klm) are the maximum values<br />
within the beam for horizontal planes at various distances below the<br />
luminaire. The beam diameter, ie. the approximate size of the light coverage,<br />
is also given. The cone widths are calculated for an illuminance at the edge of<br />
the cone of 50% of the maximum. By spacing luminaires at the beam<br />
diameter for the appropriate height, the combined effect of adjacent cones is<br />

to produce an acceptable uniformity along the centre lines between<br />
luminaires (figure 1).<br />

Polar Diagram of luminous intensity distribution<br />
These provide a graphic representation of the distribution of light from a<br />
luminaire. Often referred to as polar curves, they indicate the intensity,<br />

The tables provided use luminaire Photometric data that has been measured<br />
and tested in accordance with British Standard 5225 Parts 1 & 3 ‘Photometric<br />
Data for Luminaires’.<br />
Additional photometric data can be provided upon request.<br />
All data is also available in CIBSE TM14, EULUMDAT and<br />
IES NA formats.<br />
A complementary lighting design service is also available, to provide<br />
guidance and recommendations and to ensure lighting solutions are tailored<br />
to customer requirements. Supporting this service are the latest computer<br />
software facilities enabling accurate predictions and performance checks to<br />
be carried FIG out. 9.<br />
