11、panies, and manufacturers of lighting fixtures in performing a standardized test method for determining the luminaire efficacy rating of fluorescent lighting fixtures incorporating various shielding media and various types of applicable lamps and ballasts. This standards publication was prompted by

12、the need of the l ighting fixture manufacturing industry to have a uniform method of determining energy efficiency of their products using various components. It is not the intent of this standards publication to inhibit luminaire design or to impose arbitrary tolerances o n any luminaire manufactur

13、er. Even though the recommendations for regulations in Appendix A take into consideration in part lighting quality through incorporation of visual comfort probability, the International Association of Lighting Designers and the I lluminating Engineering Society of North America desire to include in

14、the future an additional numerical value for lighting quality to accompany the luminaire efficacy rating value. This numerical expression for lighting quality has not yet been fully dev eloped. The Luminaire Section accomplished the preparation of this standards publication in close cooperation with

15、 the Lamp and Ballast Sections of the NEMA Lighting Systems Division. Input from users and other interested p arties has been sought and evaluated. Inquiries, comments, and proposed or recommended revisions should be submitted to the Luminaire Section of NEMA by contacting: Vice President, Engineeri

16、ng Department National Electrical Manufacturer s Association 1300 North 17 th Street, Suite 1847 Rosslyn, VA 22209 The standards or guidelines presented in a NEMA standards publication are considered technically sound at the time they are approved for publication. They are not a substitute for a pro

17、duct sellers or users own judgment with respect to the particular product referenced in the standard or guideline, and NEMA does not undertake to guarantee the performance of any individual manufacturers products by virtue of this standard or guide. T hus, NEMA expressly disclaims any responsibility

18、 for damages arising from the use, application, or reliance by others on the information contained in these standards or guidelines. This standards publication was developed by the Luminaire Section. Sectio n approval of the standard does not necessarily imply that all section members voted for its

19、approval or participated in its development. At the time it was approved, the group/section was composed of the following members: American Electric Lighting Coop er Lighting Group EGS Electrical Group GE Lighting Systems Genlyte Thomas Group Hubbell, Incorporated Holophane Corporation Indy Lighting

20、 Incorporated Juno Lighting, Incorporated Lighting Corporation of America Lithonia Lighting Group Red Dot Division, L.E . Mason Simkar Corporation Steel Craft Industries The Jones Metal Products Company LE 5- 2001 Page iv PURPOSE The purpose of this standards publication is to: a. Provide government

21、al agencies with a practical and uniform method for calculating a metric for regulating th e “energy efficiency“ of fluorescent luminaires. b. Provide electrical utility companies with a method to establish minimum luminaire efficacy ratings for use with energy savings rebate programs. c. Provide a

22、LER methodology for fluorescent luminaires that is applicable to all lamp/ballast systems, thus providing a tool for promoting energy efficient luminaires to the lighting engineering and design community. d. Create a workable and realistic number of fluorescent luminaire types for regulating “ene rg

23、y efficiency.“ e. Organize the types of luminaires into categories that will reasonably represent the design function, physical and dimensional attributes, and the photometric characteristics of the various types of high volume luminaires. f. Preserv e for the lighting fixture manufacturers and the

24、lighting industry the right to use laboratory facilities, testing methods, and completed test data that currently exist and are in accordance with approved industry standards. g. Establish a luminaire effi cacy rating (LER) based on rated lumens per watt, in lieu of a standard based solely on either

25、 coefficients of utilization or luminaire efficiency. The word rated is used so as not to require the use of absolute photometry and to be able to use published rated lumen values. LER is calculated using actual test values of both ballast factor and total input watts to establish the rated efficacy

26、 of the luminaire (LER is given in rated lumens per watt). LE 5- 2001 Page 1 Section 1 GENERAL 1.1 SCOPE This standards public ation provides a procedure for the determination of the luminaire efficacy rating of commercial and industrial fluorescent luminaires under laboratory test conditions. This

27、standard describes five types of fluorescent, high - volume luminaires. Each lumina ire type is classified into subcategories that, in combination, represent better than 80% of the fluorescent luminaire market in the United States. This standard does not apply to compact fluorescent down - lights, l

28、ow volume or specialty luminaires, i.e. s ecurity luminaires. 1.2 REFERENCED PUBLICATIONS The following publications are adopted in whole or in part as indicated by reference in this standards publication.

TEST SPECIMEN(S) FLUORESCENT BALLAST(S) Ballast(

43、s) chosen for the test shall be typical of current production and shall be tested and certified as having a ballast f actor that is within plus or minus 0.025 of established ballast factors, or the manufacturers established ballast factor, for the particular ballast/lamp when tested in accordance wi

44、th ANSI C82.2. 2.3 TEST SPECIMEN(S) FLUORESCENT LAMP(S) Lamps of stable output should be used. They should be constant in light output for constant line voltage and repeated operation. Lamps selected for tests should be typical of current production and should be selected for uniform luminance and c

45、olor from end - to - end and around the axis. Lamps shall conform to the requirements for reference lamps in accordance with ANSI C78.1 and C78.3. Where American National Standards do not exist for a given lamp type, values published by the lamp manufacturers shall apply. Lamps sha ll be burned for

46、at least 100 hours in order to ensure stable electrical characteristics. LE 5- 2001 Page 4 LE 5- 2001 Page 5 Section 3 TESTING FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT 3.1 FACILITIES Because of the importance of obtaining accurate and repeatable measurements, a National Vo luntary Laboratory Accreditation Program a

47、ccredited photometric laboratory is recommended for testing. The photometric laboratory shall have facilities for performing tests in accordance with all applicable sections of the IESNA LM - 41. 3.2 GENERAL CRITER IA Due to the sensitivity of fluorescent lamp light output to air flows, all testing

48、should be conducted in a simulated “draft free“ environment. Since air movement is necessary to avoid thermal stratification, care should be taken to minimize any draft or air - flow within the immediate vicinity of the test lamps or luminaire, or both. Temperature should be controlled to 25 C (75 F

49、) within a tolerance of a plus or minus 1C (1.8F). Lamp circuit pin connections should remain the same throughout the tes ts both for the calibration and for the luminaire test.
