FAQ

Questions Lighting Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I verify if my office lighting is sufficient?

    You can use the get_design_validation capability by providing the room dimensions, task type (office), fixture flux, and surface reflectances to see if the average illuminance meets the 500 lux requirement.

  • 02

    Can I calculate the energy cost of my lighting setup?

    Yes, use the calculate_energy_profile capability with the number of fixtures, wattage per fixture, and annual operating hours to get the total wattage and annual kWh.

  • 03

    What determines the Coefficient of Utilization (CU)?

    The CU is determined by the room's geometry and the reflectances of the surfaces. You can find these values using the get_room_index_data capability.
