The design process for the floodlighting of
functional areas normally consists of three stages:
(a) A practical assessment is conducted to:
(i) locate floodlights,
(ii) select the type of light distribution,
and
(iii) identify the light source
characteristics which suit the particular application.
(b) Lumen calculation is carried out to
establish the number and loading of lamps to achieve the required average illuminance.
