The Lighting Handbook
Light is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is
perceived by our eyes.The wavelength range is between
 and  nm. The cones come on during the day and we
see colours, whereas at night the rods take over and we only
see shades of grey.
What is the melanopic eect of light?
The retina also contains photosensitive ganglion cells.
These are sensitive to blue light and suppress the sleep
hormone melatonin at night. Melatonin is responsible for a
good sleep at night. Suppressing melatonin in the morning
helps keep you awake during the day. This means that the
right light controls the circadian rhythm thus a healthy
waking and sleeping behaviour.

The Lighting Handbook
Luminous ux
The luminous ux describes the quantity of light emitted
by a light source.
The luminous eciency is the ratio of the luminous ux
to the electrical power consumed (lm/W). It is a measure
of a light source’s economic eciency.
Luminous intensity
The luminous intensity describes the quantity of light that
is radiated in a parti cular direction. This is a useful measure-
ment for directive lighting elements such as reectors. It is
represented by the luminous inten sity distribu tion curve
(LDC).
Abbreviation: Φ Phi Unit: lm Lumen
Abbreviation: Ι Unit: cd Candela
Abbreviation: E Unit: lx Lux
Abbreviation: L Unit: cd/m
Illuminance
Illuminance describes the quantity of luminous ux falling on
a surface. Relevant standards specify the required illuminance
(e.g. EN  “Lighting of indoor workplaces”).
Illuminance: E(lx) 
luminous ux (lm)
area (m)
Luminance
Luminance is the only basic lighting para meter that is
perceived by the eye.
It describes on the one hand a light source’s impression of
brightness, and on the other, a surface and therefore depends to
a large extent on the degree of reection (colour and surface).

The Lighting Handbook
The right light – traditional and new quality criteria
Illuminance – denition of terminology
Traditional quality criteria
– Sucient illumination level
– Harmonious brightness distribution
– Glare limitation
– Avoidance of reections
– Good modelling
– Correct light colour
– Appropriate colour rendering
Illuminance maintenance value Ē
m
Value below which the illuminance level must
not fall in the visual task area.
Visual task area
Illuminance levels are specied for specic
visual tasks and are designed for the area in
which these may take place.
If the exact location is unknown, the room
as a whole or a dened area of the work-
station is used for specication.
The visual task area may be a horizontal,
vertical or inclined plane.
Area immediately surrounding the visual
task area
Here illuminance may be one level lower than
in the visual task area (e.g. lx to  lx).
New quality criteria
– Changing lighting situations
– Personal control
– Energy eciency
– Daylight integration
– Light as an interior design element
Maintenance factor
The initial value multiplied by the mainte-
nance factor gives the illuminance
maintenance value.
The maintenance factor can be determined
individually, and takes the installation’s
reduction in luminous ux caused by soiling
and ageing of lamps, luminaires and room
surfaces into account.
The maintenance schedule (the cleaning
and maintenance intervals for the lamps and
installation) must be documented.
See also Section  – Checklists.
Uniformity U

In order to perform visual tasks in illuminated
areas, there should not be any great dier-
ences in brightness so that uniformity should

The evaluation of glare
The glare of all luminaires that are in the
room regularly can be evaluated with the
UGR method, as specied in the standard
EN- “Lighting of indoor workplaces”.
However LED luminaires with very bright
light points, which can be perceived indi-
vidually, are crucial.
Classic VDU workstation luminaires
The standard requires the luminance of the
luminaire to be below  or  cd/m at
an angle of °.

The UGR method
The standardised UGR method (unied glare
rating) is used to assess (psychological) glare.
The UGR value is calculated with a formula.
This takes into account all of the luminaires
in the system that contribute to the impres-
sion of glare. The UGR values for luminaires
are determined using the table method
pursuant to CIE . Zumtobel quotes both a
UGR reference value for a reference room
and the UGR tables for other room sizes for
the majority of luminaires in its data sheets
and on their website.
The UGR tables are available for each lumi-
naire via the respective photometric data
sheet: Select a product Photometry
Select a layout
The values are hereby used for a classica-
tion on a glare level. A comparison of indi-
vidual values does not allow any statement.
Example: . is   (level) but not better
than . (same glare level  ).
Note: the glare value R
G
is used outdoors.
It is explained in the standard EN -.
The UGR method takes account of the
brightness of walls and ceilings () as well as
all luminaires in the system that contribute to
the sensation of glare (). The result is a
UGR index.
The UGR limits are specied in the
EN standard for activities and visual
tasks (see tables on pages –).
UGR limits (UGR

) that must not be
exceeded:

The Lighting Handbook
The luminance limit curve method assesses
the mean luminance of a luminaire from a
viewing angle of ° to °.
The new European standard sets UGR  
as the maximum permissible value for
oces, which is equivalent to the luminance
limiting curve for  lx in Quality class .
The limit value method was used in the
former standard DIN  to assess the glare.

Illuminance levels on ceilings
and walls
Spatial illumination
Unlit ceilings and walls create an unpleasant
room impression. Bright surfaces, however,
pleasantly enhance the room climate.
The EN  standard therefore
requires an illuminance level of at least  lx
or  lx* on ceilings and at least  lx or
 lx* on walls. In fact, these levels ought to
be sig nicantly exceeded and should be at
least lx on walls.
* in oces, class rooms, hospitals
In order to enhance people’s and objects’
recognisability in a room, basic requirements
are placed on cylindrical illuminance Ē
Z
and
modelling.
Hence, Ē
Z
should be as high as  lx in
rooms used for communication.
Modelling is the ratio between cylindrical
and horizontal illuminance at a specic point
and should be between . and ..

Light colour
Colour rendering
The light colour describes the colour
appearance of the light.
In addition to the colours of the surfaces, it is also the
light colour that determines a room’s basic atmosphere!
Please refer to Chapter  – Technology for light colours of
light sources and changes to the light colour.
Colour rendering is the ability of a light
source to reproduce surface colours
( test colours R
to R
) as faithfully as
possible compared to a reference light
source. It is identied by the colour rendering
index (CRI). The best colour rendering is
R
a
 .
Light sources are divided up into colour
rendering levels:
R
a
  very good colour rendering
R
a
  good colour rendering
Colour rendering of less than  should not
be selected at workplaces.
If light sources with a colour rendering
index below  are used in exceptional cases,
it has to be ensured that safety colours can
be recognised without any problems.
The saturated test colours R
to R

are
also used occasionally to describe special
functions of a light source. The reproduction
of these colours is then quoted separately.

The denition of individual visual tasks for
the purpose of lighting design in a room,
as provided for in the EN  standard,
opens up new perspectives for lighting
design. The quantity and quality of light can
now be specied exactly for any task area.
Task area related lighting concepts are a
customised tool to fully exploit the additional
options provided. At the same time they
oer nancial scope that can be used to
impro ve lighting comfort and enhance the
eect of a room.
Lighting concepts
Room-related lighting concepts take neither individual task areas nor
dierent visual tasks into account. They are based on the most demand-
ing task performed in the room. The position of the workstation is not
dened, the entire room disposes of a uniform lighting quality.

The Lighting Handbook
Lighting focussed onto individual visual task areas provides for varied
light design in the room. By illuminating walls, for instance, rooms can
be designed to be much more open and attractive; dynamic lighting
situations can enhance their visual quality.

Energy eciency in buildings
The energy requirement of the lighting is

Active Light | Connecting with Nature
Creating Light creates Life
Always reliable yet simultaneously surprising, natural light
has guided and accompanied us since the dawn of time. It is
intuitive to our needs and caters to our natural rhythm. It has
a dynamic inuence on our sight, thus blessing us with new
images every day that set our emotions free. It controls
human processes and inuences our internal clock.
Active Light emulates natural light in a unique way, which,
when unied with architecture, opens the realms of time and
space to various ambiances of human interaction.
Consequently, an exploration in light ow, intensity, color and
focus points are created to achieve what natural light can:
evoking emotion through light.

Active Light in connection with art and nature
Only through light can art truly become an experience. The
perfect presentation of paintings, photographs, sculptures
and archaeological artefacts requires a deep understanding of
the respective space, the medium and the curatorial theme.
Eective lighting concepts follow the planning principles of
museum lighting. A successful lighting design will encompass
the four dimensions of light – direction, illuminance, colour
and time – to create a fascinating single entity.

The requirements on lighting change over
time, and with the place, the person and
work they have to do. A lighting management
system is based on actual needs and provides
the optimum light.
Concentrated work and increasing commu-
nication place changing demands on the
lighting situation. Additional, biologically
eective components of articial lighting that
complement daylight at appropriate times of
day work in harmony with our internal body
clock and are invigorating.
Using time-based management, daylight-
based control and presence-based control,
the system achieves a high level of automa-
tion. This is associated with maximum energy
savings and exibility for adjustments.
Where sta members can individually
control the lighting situation in their work
environment, the technology is accepted
most easily. This requires sucient control
options and small groups of luminaires with
appropriately allocated responsibilities.

Thanks to increasing energy awareness,
more and more dimmable luminaires are
used in retail spaces. Positive material
eects of goods and architecture are lever-
aged by possible changes in colour tem-
perature combined with luminance levels
(tunableWhite).
Skilfully controlled lighting solutions are
characterised by high levels of comfort and
exibility as well as low maintenance eort.
For example, perfect adjustment of the
light spectrum to the illuminated object is
achieved without complicated replacement of
lters. Using adequate control points, time-
lines or daylight-based control, ambient light-
ing is gently modied. The use of daylight not
only helps to save energy, but makes room
zones appear especially attrac tive.
Highly emotional illumination of goods and
surprise eects can be achieved using static
and dynamic lighting scenes.

A lighting management system makes sure
that exhibits which are sensitive to light are
exposed only to the amount of light that is
absolutely necessary: exactly that luminance
level or light colour (tunableWhite) that are
required for good perception. Thanks to
presence-based control, illumination is
restrict ed to the time when visitors are
present.
Times for switching on and o can be
specied for particular times of day. Blinds
management and daylight sensors allow just
the amount of daylight that is absolutely
necessary – as a balance between architec-
ture, human well-being, gentle illumination of
exhi bits and energy costs.
Unobtrusively and with central monitoring,
the emergency lighting system is integrated
into the lighting management system,
ensuring reliable visual conditions in an

Due to age-related changes in the eye, the
demand for light increases with age. For
more sophisticated visual tasks, the articial
lighting can be individually adjusted by
nursing sta and patients. As a result of
process es of degradation in the eye, biologi-
cally highly eective bluish components are
ltered out. The inner clock and the associ-
ated sleeping and resting patterns must
therefore be supported by spending time
outdoors or by biologically eective articial
lighting with high intensity levels or with a
large bluish component at dened times of
the day.
Timelines dened within the scope of the
lighting management system make the inter-
play of articial lighting and daylight perfect
at any time of day.

Shift and night work as well as an absence

tended. This results in high energy saving
potential.
Lighting management perfectly complies
with the required exibility in production
facili ties. As maintenance factors must be
taken into account, the design of new sys-
tems requires over-dimensioning. Functions
such as daylight-based control or Mainte-
nance Control counteract this additio nal
energy consumption by continuously adjust-
ing the lamp output depending on the day-
light situation or service life.
Integral lighting solutions are created by
close interlacing of the control system and
the luminaire portfolio, as perfectly imple-
mented in the TECTON continuous-row light-
ing system. Maintenance and monitoring are
optimised in combination with integration of
the emergency lighting system. In addition,
interfaces with other building services ensure

sociocentric approach, it can be understood
as part of a complete design process. Semi-
autonomous systems are hereby controlled
on the basis of human behaviour (presence
detection), their activities and emotions
(changing colour temperature) and the times

Scenes can be comfortably recalled at the
press of a button with the control units. The
mood in a room can be changed completely
by dened static or dynamic lighting scenes.
For example, a kitchen-cum-living room with
a high luminous intensity and light with few
shadows can be optimised for the needs of
work in the kitchen. It later becomes the
central communication point to welcome
guests with a glass of champagne in cosy
reddish, dimmed light.
The living area can also have a supportive
biological eect on health. Dynamic light
scenes are dened to create a natural and
healthy transition to relaxing sleep in the
evening with a reduced, reddish light. In the
morning, the special sense cells on the retina
are activated to the highest intensity through
a higher share of bluish light.

Colour code
The colour code is a three-digit numerical
value (e.g. ) that describes the lighting
quality of a white light source. The rst digit
denotes colour rendering, the second and
third digits denote colour temperature (light
colour).
Example:

In principle, all light sources have to be
tested with respect to their possible harmful
eect for human eyes (EN - [],
EN  Photobiological safety of lamps and
lamp systems). Their safety is conrmed by
the CEsymbol. Damage to the retina by
optical radiation hereby depends on:
the spectral shares
the radiation strength
how long the person looks into the
light source
Light sources are classied in
risk groups (RG):
RG : No general risk
RG : No risk with normal use
RG : No risk with natural aversion
reactions
RG : Risk with even a eeting glance
If it is dangerous to “stare” into a light source
for a longer period of time, RG  has to be
marked with the following symbol:
Zumtobel luminaires do not in principle
constitute a danger for human eyes. All of
our luminaires fall under RG  or , so that
they do not have to be marked.

Functions and types of LEDs
An LED (light-emitting diode) is an electronic
semiconductor component that emits light
when a current ows through it. The wave-
length of the light depends on the semicon-
ductor material and its doping. The spectrum
of LEDs oers a major benet: only light
(electromagnetic radiation in the visible
range) and no ultraviolet or infrared radiation
is emitted.
Basically, there are three types of LED:
Standard through-hole LED: often used as
indicator light source, although with low
light output. Due to their shorter service
life, higher probability of failure and sensi-
tivity to UV radiation, they are not used in
lighting technology.
SMD (surface mounted device) LED: an LED
that is reow-soldered to the surface of a
printed circuit board (using a reow oven).
Basically, it consists of an LED chip pro-
tected by silicon coating mounted in or on
a housing or a ceramic plate with contacts.
CoB (chip on board) LED: the LED chip is
mounted directly on the printed circuit
board. This allows a dense arrangement of
chips close to each other.

The Lighting Handbook
Light output, output and luminous ecacy
The light output, output and luminous
ecacy are important key parameters to
describe the eciency of LED luminaires. The
luminaire manufacturer has to specify these
parameters for all of their luminaires. This
information contains the losses in the light-
deecting and light-shielding components of
the luminaire and thus the eect of the
operating eciency of the luminaire. The
operating eciency is not normally shown
separately for LED -luminaires.
ATTENTION: The light output and luminous
ecacy for built-in LED modules are higher
than those of the luminaires, so that these
cannot be compared with each other.
The values are quoted as rated values.
This takes into account the fact that minor
uctuations may occur between the individual
measured values during the production
period of luminaire type as a consequence
of production conditions. Unless otherwise
specied, the values apply for an ambient
temperature of  °C.
Rated light output of LED luminaires
Initial illuminance at the start of operation
(lm). The maximum deviation may be –
(tolerance).
Rated output of LED luminaires
Initial input power of a luminaire (W).
The maximum deviation may be 
(tolerance).
Luminous ecacy of LED luminaires
Initial value for the ratio of light output to
input power (lm/W).
Constant light output
If constant light output technology is used,
the light output of a luminaire remains
constant over the lamp life. The measured
output rises to the maximum value relative to
the reduction in light output of the LED type
used. This maximum input power corresponds
to the initial value with a maximum light
output.
Note: CLO: constant light output.
Important LED key gures

The Lighting Handbook
A service life of , h corresponds to
continuous operation for around . years.
When quoting longer service lives, it has to
be considered which operating times would
be necessary for these. With the normal
operating times in oce use of , h per
year, a service life of , h corresponds
to a presence time of  years.
Apart from the mean service life, the total
failure rate AFV (Abrupt Failure Value) can
also be quoted. This refers to the total failure
of the modules in the luminaire and is nor-
mally less than .
A failure of the control gear is excluded
here. This has to be quoted separately and is
normally covered by the warranty terms for
the control gear.
Note to B and B:
By values are statistical values: they mean
that y percent of the product-based criteria
are not fullled. However, a method exists
that allows such statistics to be safely calcu-
lated in advance for a longer operating time.
B identies an approximate man value
for the reduction in luminous ux. B names
  o luminaires that do not satisfy one
criterion. This lead to the false assumption
that B luminaires last longer than B lumi-
naires.
What is correct is that service lives as
long as these cannot be measured but only
calculated. Whereas B can be derived from
known forecasting methods, there is no
method for B that is described in technical
instructions. For this reason, those service life
gures not further specied on a Zumtobel
data sheet relate to B. B has only be-
come established for street lighting.
A maintenance factor can be determined for
dierent presence times for various types of
LED luminaires with a service life specication
(see chapter ).

LED luminaire has dropped to a

Example: Service life “L

White light quality and binning
In the production of LED chips, LEDs of
die rent production batches have dierent
properties with respect to intensity, colour
temperature, colour location, or with respect
to forward voltage.
The properties of each individual LED are
measured after manufacturing and allocated
to a group showing the same features.
These correspond to nely dierentiated
para meters which are divided into so-called
bins. Depending on the application and the
product, these features are weighted
dierent ly.
By using specic binning groups, colour
and brightness tolerances – not just of the
light emitted by individual luminaires, but
also on visible luminous surfaces – are
reduced to a minimum. Thus, illuminated
surfaces and light emitting panels of lumi-
naires are given a uniform appearance. This
selection is especial ly important when it
comes to “single LED” products and applica-
tions with maximum white light quality such
as museums.
In practice, MacAdam ellipses are often
used to give users an idea of how far individ-
ual LED modules dier with respect to colour
perception.
MacAdam ellipses describe the colour
distan ces on the xy coordinates in the stand-
ardised colour table. In theory, we talk about
 MacAdam as soon as there is a visual dier-
ence with respect to colour percep tion.
A colour dierence between individual
LED modules of one luminaire and between
individual LEDs, i.e. individual luminaires in
case of spotlights, of  MacAdam ellipses is at
present considered the maximum of technical
feasibility. The colour dierence between
wide-angle luminaires with high luminous ux
levels (replacing uorescent lamps) is consid-
ered excellent at  MacAdam ellipses.

The Lighting Handbook
Optics
The direction of light is based on three fundamental
principles: reection, refraction and diraction.
These principles are applied to dene the photometric
properties of luminaires in terms of lighting patterns.
High-precision light direction structures made of
tried-and-tested as well as innovative materials extend
the range with a view to both optics and design.
Reection
In physics, reection is the change in direction of a
wavefront at an interface between two media with a
diering refractive index so that the wavefront returns to
the medium from which it originated.
Specular reection
Nearly all light is reected according to
the law of reection (incident angle 
reected angle). The aim is to reect as
much light as possible, absorbing only
little of it.
Lambertian reectance
Nearly all light is reected diusely:
light is reected in all directions, in
accor dance with Lambert’s law, so
that the reecting surface appears
equally bright from any direction of
view. Here, too, the aim is to reect
as much light as possible and absorb
only
little of it.
Total reection
A beam of light coming from a medium
with a higher refractive index that hits
the boundary to a medium with a
lower refractive index will be reected
awa
y from the incident slot. If the
incident angle is further increased, total
reection will occur at a critical angle.
This means that the light beam does
not pass out from the material with a
higher refractive index, but is reected
back.

The Lighting Handbook
Refraction
Refraction indicates the change in direction of a wave
due to a spatial change in its rate of propagation. For
light waves in particular this phenomenon is described by
the refraction index of a medium.
At the transition between two media with a diering
refraction index, the beam therefore changes direction
according to Snell’s law of refraction.
Diraction
If light encounters periodic structures with expansions in
the wavelength of light, it is diracted (see illustration).
Such structures may be transmission grids, reection
grids (phase grids) or holographic grids, for example.
Diraction of chromatic light results in an unfolding of the
light spectrum.

Introduction – History of electric lighting, overview
Our ancestors had to make do with natural
sunlight for many thousands of years. The
story of how humans rst learned to use light
begins  years ago when they rst
tamed re. It then became possible to use
light and heat purposefully, and articial
lighting has extended the natural day length
ever since.
Wood, tallow, fat and oil were burned to
provide light for many years. It was industri-
alisation that brought really revolutionary
changes in its wake: rst gas, then elec tricity
became the dominant method of
distributing energy and producing light.
Articial electric lighting has been an
almost ubiquitous feature of everyday life for
more than  years now. Our modern life-
style is not viable without articial lighting.
We live in a -hour society and spend most
of our time indoors. Even our outdoor envi-
ronment is illuminated, either for trac
management purposes or to obtain decora-
tive eects.
Demand for articial lighting is therefore
huge, and we have high expectations of it:
we expect articial lighting to be available
any time, anywhere and in the required
quality – and we expect it to be produced
aordably and in eco-friendly ways.
Modern light sources are now highly e-
cient and produce good-quality light. Lighting
in Europe nevertheless still accounts for 
of all energy consumption (and around 
of worldwide energy consumption).
Professional lighting accounts for approxi-
mately   of this gure, and lighting in
private homes accounts for roughly  .
That is equivalent to the emission of climate-
relevant greenhouse gases amounting to
roughly  million tonnes of CO
a year.
Saving energy that is used for lighting
therefore also saves CO
. The EU has set
ambitious targets intended to limit global
warming to no more than  °C compared with
pre-industrial levels: –  by  and
– by  compared with  emission
levels.
The lighting industry has come up with a
wide variety of dierent types of lamps since
 when Thomas Alva Edison invented
the incandescent lamp and manufactured it
on an industrial scale. Individual lamps dier
in terms of their design and output and,
especially, the way in which they produce
light. The most important criteria for modern
light sources are lighting quality and e-
ciency – low energy consumption and a long
service life.
Light production
Light can be produced in a large number of
dierent ways – naturally or articially.
Light is produced cost-eectively by using
four main groups of light sources:
Thermal light sources
Low-intensity discharge lamps
High-intensity discharge lamps
Semiconductor light sources

Functional description
Current ows through a lament and heats
it up in exactly the same way as in an incan-
descent lamp. This is why these lamps relea se
relatively large amounts of heat. The halogen
cycle boosts the eciency and prolongs the
service life of these lamps compared with
conventional incandescent lamps.
Low-voltage lamps are very compact and
therefore ideally suitable for directing light
precisely, but they do need a transformer.
Due to European legislation, only the most
energy-ecient versions of this lamp group
are permitted.
More ecient alternatives include compact
uorescent lamps with built-in electronic
ballasts or LED lamps.

duced, is sandwiched between a positive and
a negative substrate inside the LED. Actual
coloured light is produced, depending on
which materials are chosen. Nowadays, high-
quality white light is produced by blue LEDs
with yellow luminescent substances. A mix-
ture of RGB (red, green, blue) also produces
white. The smallest LED chips have a side
length of approx.  µm ( micrometre 
 one thousandth of a millimetre). As a rule,
they are powered via appropriate DC convert-
ers. Their very long service life of over
 hours demands optimised thermal
management in order to prevent overheating.
Today, LEDs are already some of the most
ecient light sources for general lighting.
They are completely superseding traditional
light sources in many applications.

The Lighting Handbook
Properties of conventional lamps
Conventional lamps today are normally only
used as replacements. Nevertheless, there
are reasons as to why ecient conventional
lamps should still be used. Some properties
that have to be taken into account when
working with these lamps are listed below.
On account of their high luminous e-
ciency and long service life, LED light sources
in particular are dominating all applications.
They can rightly be viewed as the light source
of the future.
It is therefore up to the expertise of the
planner to nd the best possible light source
for any lighting task.
The key parameters of lamps can essen-
tially be dened by the following terms:
Warm-up time
Discharge lamps in particular need between
 seconds and several minutes to warm up
and output the full luminous ux.
Re-start
High-pressure discharge lamps need to
cool down for several minutes before they
can be started again.
Dimmability
As well as incandescent and halogen
incandescent lamps, almost all uorescent
and compact uorescent lamps can be
dimmed as required nowadays. Most
manufacturers’ metal halide lamps continue
to be incompatible with dimming because
dimming may have uncontrolled eects on
lighting quality and lamp service life. The
new series of special models for indoor and
outdoor applications constitute an excep-
tion. The output of sodium vapour lamps
and high-pressure mercury lamps can be
restricted in stages. LED light sources can
be switched and dimmed as required.
Operating position
Manufacturers specify the permitted oper-
ating positions for their lamps. For some
metal halide lamps, only certain operating
positions are allowed so as to avoid unsta-
ble operating states. Compact uorescent
lamps may usually be used in any operating
position; however, important properties
such as the lumi nous ux vs. temperature
curve may vary with the position.

Application hints
Luminous ux – temperature curve
As for all uorescent lamps, the lamp’s
luminous ux is temperature-dependent. The
maximum value is obtained at an optimum
ambient temperature, with losses increasing
at higher and lower temperatures. The T
basically follows the same curve as the
T, but the maximum occurs not at an
ambient temperature of  to  °C but at
about  °C.
Reason: the cool spot of T is not located
in the centre of the lamp, but typically at
one end of the tube where the manufacturer
has xed its seal.
The rated luminous ux is generally speci-
ed for an ambient temperature of  °C.
For the T, the maximum value therefore
lies above this rated value. Thus luminaire
eciencies may have levels greater than “”.
Amalgam technology
Special T-I lamps with amalgam technology
are available in order to ensure that the
luminous ux is slightly less temperature
dependent.
Adding amalgam (a mercury compound)
makes it possible to compensate for the
decrease in luminous ux at relatively high
and low temperatures.

¹ LBS Lampen-Bezeichnungs-System [Lamp Code System], a standardised system for designating electric
lamps for general lighting (luminaire manufacturers)
² ILCOSInternational Lamp COding System (lamp manufacturers), Standard IEC TS /DIN 
Various systems are used to designate lamps.
Lamp manufacturers use their own product
name for each lamp. And there are standards
and non-proprietary documents that use gen-
eral designations. The LBS ¹ coding system,
which was devised by the Central Association
of German Electrical and Electronic Industries
(ZVEI), provides an extremely useful over-
view. Every general lighting lamp can be pre-
cisely designated according to the LBS coding
system by an abbreviation consisting of
letters and numbers.
Many luminaire manufacturers use the LBS
coding system to specify appropriate lamps
for their luminaires regardless of the names
used by lamp manufacturers. This makes
sense because many lamps are standardised
and are therefore interchangeable regar dless
of make. International standards use another
system – ILCOS ².
The table below compares the designations
used in various systems.

A bus is a system for transferring data
between several participants via a joint
transmission path.
In electronic engineering, a control line is
a connection (cable, wire) between one
transmitter and one receiver. Via this
connection the receiver is switched to a
dierent operating mode. Communication
is either bidirectional (DALI) or just uni-
directional (DSI).
A communication protocol is an agreement
according to which data transfer bet ween
two or more participants is carried out.
In its most simple form, a proto col can be
dened as the rules deter mining the
structure, meaning and synchronisation of
communication.

DALI is a standard dened by several
manufacturers of luminaires and electronic
ballasts: IEC  allows the combination
of devices of various manufacturers.
However, the standard denes only output
devices (control gear), not input devices
such as sensors or control units. Hence,

DSI: General information
The term DSI stands for “Digital Serial
Interface”.
DSI is not a building management bus sys-
tem, but a protocol for digital addressing of
technical lighting control gear.
DSI is a manufacturer-specic interface
dened by Zumtobel.
DSI is the predecessor of DALI with the
main goal of replacing analogue addressing
(– V) of control gear with digital
addressing.
Devices with DSI and DALI connection are
not compatible and cannot be used jointly
in one control circuit.
Dierences between DALI and DSI
Each DALI control unit may have dierent
intensity levels, while all DSI (and – V)
control units always have the same inten-
sity level.
With DSI, units are allocated to groups
by wiring; with DALI, group allocation is
performed via software.
With DSI (and – V), only a unidirec tional
ow of information (from the controller to
the controlled unit) is possible.
DSI and DALI units cannot be operated
jointly in one control circuit.

DALI and DSI: Control line
Any type of insulated line for mains
voltage is admissible if the voltage drop is
not more than  V at  mA.
DALI components are usually powered
via a separate mains power supply.
The insulation of the digital interface
complies with basic insulation require-
ments; verication is eected in accord-
ance with the IEC  standard.
Thus, SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
is not guaranteed.
The cables connecting the digital interface
with the mains power supply lines (e.g.
V) may be relocated if the in sulation
conditions ( x basic insulation) are
maintained. The two “free” wires of a

DMX: General information
DMX was developed in the United States for
stage equipment in . Previously, the
slider settings for spotlights were converted
to analogue voltage levels between  and
V. Subsequently these voltages were trans-
mitted in parallel to the dimmers via one
control line for each spotlight.
This analogue dimming worked well with a
small number of spotlights. However, stages
and shows became bigger and bigger. The
cabling included a large number of parallel
– V control lines became too complex and
inexible.
Only the positions of the slider have been
converted to digital values for the DMX.
ALL dimming levels are then transmitted one
after the other via ONE joint control line.

Installation of light sensor: sur-
face-mounted on the ceiling,
directed towards the window
Lighting scenes and daylight
settings are entered using key
combinations
If a light sensor is installed,
Lighting Scene 1 will always call
up the daylight programme; all
available groups will always be
subject to daylight-based control
Up to 3 lighting scenes, depen-
ding on the control unit used;
each control unit will always call
up the same scene 1, 2, 3 or OFF
The functions of the “ED-SxED”
ED unit may be selected using the
integrated rotary switch: either
scene module (1, 2, 3, OFF) or
group module (dimming of Group
1, 2, 3, 4).
CIRCLE control unit calls up three
lighting scenes and OFF; the two
rocker control switches will dim
Lighting Groups 1 and 2; Lighting
Groups 3 and 4 cannot be indivi-
dually dimmed
Conventional 230 V momentary-
action switches can be connected
to the momentary-action switch

LITECOM: General information
Lighting control systems
Application
A single LITECOM controller is enough for
small buildings or a single oor. If the system
is expanded to a LITECOM innity system,
several existing controllers are linked with
one another. The opposite way is also possi-
ble at any time. By removing them from the
system, each controller can again be trans-
ferred to the self-sucient LITECOM mode
with  addresses.

SB  Controller
Controlling an emergency lighting system
is much more convenient and safe if it is
networked via a DALI control line and an
SB Controller is connected.
The status of all the luminaires is displayed
on the Controller, all notications such as
lamp faults or battery malfunctions are
captured in a central location and logged
in the test logbook. By doing this, the
Controller takes on full responsibility for
the emergency lighting system.

The Lighting Handbook
Easy operation
Very easy commissioning and addressing of the entire
emergency lighting installation – requires just one person
Easy touch-screen operation
Clearly laid-out, logical menu prompting
Can monitor  luminaires, can be expanded to take
luminaires by tting extenders
Automatic tests and test logs
Test logbook with central logging of
test results for at least three years
Clock and calendar function for
user-programmable test cycles
Facility to manually trigger test functions on Controller
High level of functionality
Display of all luminaires, conguration
with description and addressing
Mode can be selected individually for
every ONLITE luminaire
User-programmable signalling contacts and audible
failure notication
Installation can be disabled to allow servicing work

The Lighting Handbook
Zumtobel’s luminaires are supplied ready to
use with separate battery supply (emergency
sets) for emergency lighting integrated into
general lighting systems. Compliance to
standards is guaranteed here compared to
luminaires converted by the operator. The
emergency sets are connected via DALI and
an ONLITE local SB  Controller.
The emergency lighting consists of a control
unit and battery. In contrast to the RESCLITE
emergency set, the light source of the gen-
eral lighting luminaire is used for emergency
lighting. The ONLITE local emergency sets are
available for backup of one or three hours.

System overview
ONLITE central eBox is perfectly adjusted,
convenient and exible: for each application,
there is the right basic housing in a func-
tional design. The main station is modular
and still boasts a compact size for easy
assembly. Extremely small SUB stations
enable the devices to be used next to the
nal circuits in any recess, small as it may be.
With the optional external modules at the
system bus, the functions of each ONLITE
central eBox system can be extended
individually.

ONLITE central eBox OCM
OCM Output Circuit Modules
Up to three ONLITE central eBox OCMs per
system can be used as an option. In this
context, the dierent functions of the
modules may also be mixed. Each circuit is
separately protected by a . A  x  mm
fuse. In the battery circuit, there is -pole
fusing, in the mains network -pole fusing.
The total output of the three double-circuit
modules must not exceed  VA and
W.

ONLITE central eBox SUB
Cable entry from substation to
main station ONLITE central eBox
The -pole power cable must be installed in a
FP cable up to the place of installation of the
ONLITE central eBox SUB station of the re-
spective re compartment. If several re
compartments are supplied from the ONLITE
central eBox SUB E, the power cable must
be installed in a reproof manner up to the
cabinet, and the nal circuits up to the re
compartments to be supplied in each case.
The system bus may be executed in a lin-
ear manner or in a star topology. Fireproof
installation is not required, since the monitor-
ing of the bus is ensured through heartbeat
control. If on account of an interruption or
short-circuit, any logging data arrive late or
not at all, AC emergency operation of all
lumi naires is activated at the nal circuit.
Three SUB stations
are available
ONLITE central eBox SUB E
Standard SUB station is used if nal
circuits in dierent re compartments
are served
ONLITE central eBox SUB E
Standard SUB station in E IP to
supply nal circuits without crossing any
re compartment
ONLITE central eBox SUB IP
Standard SUB station in E IP to
supply nal circuits without crossing any

System overview
Every ONLITE central CPS oers full function-
ality in order to comprehensively meet the
requirements placed on a central battery
system using as few components as possible.
No additional software or modules are
needed. There is no need to t any separate
components in the luminaire because every
DALI luminaire can be used as an emergency
luminaire which can be individually moni-
tored and controlled. This also reduces eort
on commissioning, inspecting and maintain-
ing the system.
A large removable Touch PC is the core of
the system. For example, it enables straight-
forward commissioning by one person or
neatly laid out, easily manageable visualisa-
tion of the system’s status.

Emergency-o
By pressing the emergency-
o button, the complete
ONLITE central CPS system
(including all substations)
is disconnected from power
supply. This ensures that
emergency forces can safely
do their job. The in ternal
 V supply is carried via an
NC switch (emergency-o)
and connected to the Ster
-
minal (
x  terminal strip at
the main station), while the
conguration is adjusted to
the emergency-o function
using the Touch PC.

Protection classes
Protection classes describe measures
providing protection against touch-sensitive
voltages. These measures are set out in the
EN standard and marked with symbols
in compliance with IEC .
Zumtobel luminaires are classied into the
following classes of protection:
Class I luminaires
The luminaire is designed for connection to
a protective conductor.
Protection class I is not identied by a
symbol. The symbol indicating the protective
earth

Luminaires marked with U
This symbol indicates the surface tempera-
ture of luminaire. External surfaces where
highly ammable materials such as dust
or bres may accumulate, even in case of
use according to purpose, must not exceed
specic temperatures.
The
d luminaire mark was withdrawn in
. A period of transition was agreed that
allowed the
d mark to be applied until
//. Since //, the
U mark
introduced by EN  has been applied.
The
U mark limits the temperature to
 °C max. on horizontal surfaces during
normal operation and to  °C in the event
of a ballast fault. On vertical surfaces,  °C
must not be exceeded.
Luminaires with the
Q mark
Luminaires which carry the
Qmark are
intend ed for installation in furniture. They are
designed so that in the event of a ballast
fault, ame-retardant and normally amma-
ble materials as specied in DIN  cannot
be ignited, e.g. in corners of wooden furni-
ture. The materials may be painted, veneer ed
or varnished.
Luminaires with the
q mark
Luminaires which carry the
q mark are
intend ed for mounting in or on furniture
made of materials whose ammability is not
known. They are designed so that in normal
operation any mounting surface or other
adjacent furniture surfaces do not exceed a
temperature of  °C.

Directive 94/9/EC
Directive //EC species the requirements
for all devices and protection systems for
use in explosion-prone areas. Over and
above this, this Directive now directly
includes the “Basic safety requirements” for
explosion-proof equipment.
Manufacturers of explosion-proof
equipment have to provide evidence of a
quality assurance system to be tested by a
“notied body”.
Directive 99/92 EC (Workplace Directive)
Also important is the description of hazard
areas in explosion-prone workplaces, and a
resulting graded safety prole for the
“equipment” used.
As this Directive was drafted according
to the EC’s “new approach”, the manu-
facturer’s declaration of conformity, com-
bined with CE marking of the products,
was introduced for explosion-proof equip-
ment as well.
A detailed commentary on Directive
//EC is included in the “Directive //EC
by the European Parliament and the Council
of March ” section. Since  July ,
it has superseded all directives on explosion

Ball-proofness
Luminaires for sports halls must be ball-proof according to
DIN VDE -.
Balls hitting luminaires must not damage them so as to
cause luminaire parts to fall down. In a test conforming with
the relevant standard, the luminaire has to withstand  hits
from three directions at a maximum impact speed of
km/h, the ball used having the size of a handball.
When choosing the luminaires, the rod guard’s grid width
must be matched to the sport played in the hall: it must
always be considerably smaller than the balls used, never of
the same size, as balls may get stuck in the guard.

Cleanroom technology
Cleanroom compatibility tested
CLEAN Advanced and CLEAN Supreme
have been tested and assessed by the
Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart (Germany)
with respect to
cleanroom compatibility for cleanrooms
(particle emission behaviour of the
luminaires) and
cleanliness compatibility (disinfectability,
electrostatic behaviour and chemical
resistan ce).
Details on cleanroom compatibility
The German VDI  Guideline species
a standardised procedure for all equipment
used in a cleanroom.
The common criterion for the cleanroom
compatibility of luminaires and all other
equipment is their particle emission behav-
iour. “Airborne particle emission” is used as
a classication criterion in all international
standards. The relevant maximum value for
the permissible concentration of particles
of a specic particle size constitutes the
class limit.
Test setup
A dened volume of air is aspirated by an air
sampling probe and fed into a test chamber.
The particles inside this test chamber are
monitored and recorded appropriately.
Exceeding the relevant limit values is deci-
sive in order to classify the luminaires. If a
limit value is not exceeded with a certainty of
at least  , the respective item of equip-
ment may be regarded as suitable for use in
this air cleanliness class.
Details on cleanliness compatibility
In order to be able to conrm cleanliness
compatibility, as well as, quantities reecting
cleanroom compatibility that can be de tected
by metrological methods, additional expert
assessments and parameters were included
in the tests conducted by the Fraunhofer
Institute IPA.
Cleanliness compatibility covers a large
number of sector-based cleanliness require-
ments such as resistance to chemicals, sur-
face quality, ow behaviour or electro static
charge characteristics. These are dened in
the following standards and codes of practice,
among others:

Airow systems in cleanrooms
One of the basic criteria for the requirements
placed on equipment in cleanrooms is the
nature of the airow system. The CLEAN
luminaire has been designed for use in all
cleanroom classes with a turbulent mixed
airow. In this commonly encountered airow
system, air enters the room with a turbulent
ow, thereby causing continuous dilution and
“cleaning”. According to GMP (Good
Manufacturing Practice) classication, clean-
room Classes C to E and ISO Classes  to 
can be achieved using this airow system.
Cleanrooms with low-turbulence displace-
ment ow, which are more expensive to build,
allow air to initially enter the cleanroom with
low turbulence. The design of laminar ow
cleanrooms precludes the use of any lumi-
naires other than extremely slim batten
luminaires which disrupt the direct ional ow
of air as little as possible. The laminar ow
system minimises contamination, and any
contaminant is quickly eliminated. Clean-
rooms in ISOClasses  to  and GMP Classes
A and B are areas where this airow system
is used.

Fusing and rating of circuits
Tripping values of line circuit-breakers
For the operation of luminaires, automatic
circuit breakers with C characteristics are
recommended. In case of multipolar circuit
breakers, the values specied by the manu-
facturer must be reduced by  . The
levels indicated in the table refer to simulta-
neous switch-on at the mains voltage peak
with UN   V.
Please note: the values given in the table
are intended as reference values only and
may deviate in individual cases. The specic
range and type, as well as, the actual number
of ballasts per luminaire must be taken into
account. In case of metal halide lamps, the
switch-on current is increased by ignition
time shunting. In case of connection to circuit
breakers with B characteristics, transformers
should not be loaded above rating in order to
avoid false tripping.

Impact on materials
No material is resistant to all chemical inu-
ences. This is not really surprising, as there
are so many chemicals and so many eects;
in fact, they ll whole volumes with resist-
ance tables.
When assessing potential hazards, the
degree of saturation of chemical substances
and the ambient temperature must be taken
into account.
The accompanying tables therefore only
provide a brief overview of frequently en-
countered applications and chemical impact.
If you are unsure or have specic ques-
tions, your Zumtobel adviser will be happy
to assist.

Maintenance of lighting systems
Today, the maintenance of lighting installa-
tions is a decisive factor in an installation’s
balance of costs.
According to the formula below (), a light-
ing level required of E
m
  lx at a standard
maintenance factor of MF  . implies a
new illuminance level of E
new
  lx.

x MF Maintenance factor components
Lamp luminous ux mainten. factor LLMF
Lamp survival factor LSF
Luminaire maintenance factor LMF
Room maintenance factor RMF
Causes of illuminance decrease
Ageing of lamps
Failure of lamps
Soiling of luminaire
Soiling of room
The maintenance factor includes
4 components
() MF  LLMF x LSF x LMF x RMF
Benet of a high MF
– lower luminaire investment costs
– reduced energy costs
Benet of a low MF
– low maintenance costs
– longer maintenance intervals
Please note: at a lower maintenance factor,
illuminance may be constantly dimmed to the
maintenance value to save energy (maintenance
control).
All these factors describe the decrease in
illumi nance. The maximum in each case is ,
corresponding to the new value. At the
respec tive time of maintenance, the various
causes of the decrease in illuminance must
be identied.
Options for improving the
maintenance factor
lamp replacement already before the lamp
service life ends (LLMF/LSF )
immediate replacement of lamps in case
of failure (LSF  )
use of closed luminaires (LWF )
more frequent room cleaning (RWF )

* An LED luminous ux class is characterised by the useful service life Lx (basis selected:   h) at a drop in
luminous ux to x
 (initial level  ) and an ambient temperature of  °C.
Example: the LED luminous ux class at “L @ 
 h” describes a drop in luminous ux to  (LLMF  .)
at a useful service life of 
 h.
The maintenance factor values specied for an LED luminous ux class are intended to facilitate planning.
They provide a non-binding indication of the prospective luminous ux changes over the course of time,
assuming a linear reduction in luminous ux.
The m
aintenance factors for an assumed service life are available for planning purposes.
Please note: the known lamp maintenance factors LLMF and LSF are applied to LED modules, although these are
not lamps in the proper meaning of the term. LSF is assumed to be , as a total breakdown of the complete
LED module can be neglected for planning purposes.
The v
alues comply with international standards IEC  and IEC .

General information – Refurbishment of lighting systems
The following list provides clues for discussion with the
customer. The potentials stated draw a comparison between
con temporary lighting solution options available today with
the technology approx.  years ago. In a project, viable
savings must be accura tely calculated in the design stage.
The savings apply only on a case-by-case basis. If several
measures are taken, they will complement each other without
the levels adding up.
. Saving energy, CO and costs
Potential savings
. Advanced materials up to –
Today’s reectors and innovative surface nishes provide for more
ecient luminaires.
. Use of daylight up to –
The LUXMATE daylight-based lighting control system provides for
high energy savings where sucient daylight is available.
. Improvement of lamps and control gear up to –
Innovations in the electronic control of lamps, optimised temperatures and
improvements of the lamps’ physical properties provide for extensive savings.
. Taking ageing into account up to –
The balance between the new value and minimum illuminance can be
saved by dimmable control (Maintenance Control).
. Taking room utilisation into account up to –
Using presence detectors or a time-based control system, the lighting
can be adjusted precisely to the time/s of use.

The Lighting Handbook
Checklists
Potential savings

According to various studies, an individual’s productivity can be
signicantly improved by an upgraded lighting solution (e.g. research by
TU Ilmenau, AIF no. ).
. Fewer errors
According to various studies, people’s error rate can be minimised by
an upgraded lighting solution (e.g. research by TU Ilmenau, AIF no. ).
. Increased alertness
The human physiology is decoded step-by-step, allowing to perfectly adjust
the lighting to the individual (e.g. doctoral thesis by Susanne Fleischer,
ETH Zürich).
. Enhanced sense of wellbeing
Pleasant brightness levels and personal control can have a positive impact
on an individual’s sense of wellbeing (e.g. Light Right Consortium).
Please note: It is dicult to provide exact and generally applicable gures;
however, measurable increases were achieved in individual cases.
Minor increases already result in high economic benets.
. Improved ergonomic compatibility

The Lighting Handbook

VIVALDI
VIVALDI is our interactive tool for designing
lighting scenes and designing dynamic
lighting concepts.
VIVALDI uses sketches or images from
lighting calculation programs
Individual light sources can be intuitively
controlled in intensity and colour using
sliders
As regards images from calculation
programs, details on illuminance and
luminance levels as well as on energy
consumption are given in real time
Changes in lighting scenes are displayed
in real time
Dynamic sequences within the scenes
are interactively controlled via timelines
Daylight sequences can be taken into
account so that daylight and articial
lighting can be dynamically adjusted over
the course of the day
Visualisations that let you
experience light
In the presentation with VIVALDI, customers
can see at a glance how the dierent colour
temperatures -matched to the daylight curve
have a positive eect on the oce ambience.
Using the controllers and detailed settings
available in VIVALDI, the the presentation
can be interactively changed and adjusted at
any time. Substantial potential savings are
possible if the solution is not operated
constantly at   and the luminaires are
assigned dimming curves in the course of
the day.

VIVALDI facade
Visualisation on the basis of a photo
A new VIVALDI module allows rapid and easy
design of outdoor lighting concepts. This is
based on a photo of a facade or an aerial
photo. Once an image has been imported to
VIVALDI, luminaires can be dragged onto the
facade directly from the online product
catalogue and arranged as desired. The light
distribution of the luminaire is then shown in
the photo. The luminaires can be dimmed or
the light colour changed with sliders and it is
even possible to create dynamic processes
with timelines. VIVALDI hereby always keeps
an eye on the solutions energy consumption.
You can download VIVALDI for free from
zumtobel.com/VIVALDI
Its use is explained in short video tutorials
that are available via the help function.

rough calculations not only at the oce,
but also directly at the construction site.
Based on product data available in the
mobi l e e-catalogue, QuickCalc Mobile needs
just a few steps to calculate how many lumi-
naires are required to achieve the necessary
illuminance level at a given room size.
For any number of luminaires specied,
the program will calculate the illuminance
level that can be achieved.
The calculation program opens
as soon as you click the QuickCalc
icon in the online product
catalogue.
Now enter the length, width
and height of the room.
The number of luminaires
required will now be calculated,
and a PDF le can be created
from the calculation.

ecoCALC light
Light enough for the cloud
ecoCALC light can compare up to three sim-
ple lighting solutions online and all necessary
inputs can be made on one page.
Results can be achieved with so few entries
because ecoCALC light works with the
product data from the online catalogue, cal-
culates maintenance intervals automatically
and saves typical settings as default values.
The unique features of ecoCALC are
therefore retained and a luminous intensity
curve can still be output, for example, whilst
maintenance costs are calculated with regard
to the manufacturer’s data for the lamps and
luminaires. A selection of typical existing
luminaires is also provided.
The luminous intensity can also be calcu-
lated directly in ecoCALC light because we
integrate the familiar QuickCalc from the
product pages into the application. This way
it can be ensured that the solutions really are
comparable.
All of the results can then be shown on
a single page and it is of course possible to
enlarge graphics and generate a printout.
But the most important thing is that you
can share your project with colleagues or
customers by simply sending them a link –
no installation is necessary.

DALEC
Day- and Articial Light with
Energy Calculation
Concept analysis tool for comprehensive
lighting planning
DALEC is a design tool to determine potential
savings for rooms with day and articial
lighting systems. It was developed within the
scope of the K-light research project
“Integrated Day and Articial Light”, which
looked into an integral control approach for
facade systems. The DALEC web application
is the result of a research partnership with
the University of Innsbruck, Bartenbach and
Zumtobel Lighting. DALEC is an easy-to-use
tool for determining energy saving potential
in rooms with daylight and articial light
systems in early project phases. It evaluates
dierent facade and articial light solutions
and determines their inuence on heating
and cooling loads. Quality criteria such as
room temperature or glare control are also
evaluated at the same time.
DALEC has been implemented as an online
service and is available at
