Lighting Calculations - Lighting calculations & conversions

Lighting is a crucial aspect of any environment, impacting both functionality and aesthetics. Whether it's for a residential space, a commercial establishment, or an industrial setting, accurate lighting calculations are essential. The "Lighting Calculations" app is designed to simplify the complex world of lighting technology. With a wide range of main calculations, diverse unit conversions, and a wealth of resources, this app is a must-have for professionals in the lighting industry, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to achieve optimal lighting in their spaces. It offers a convenient and comprehensive solution to demystify lighting calculations and make informed decisions about lighting design and installation.

Main calculations include:

Total Flux Calculation: Determine the total amount of light emitted by a source.

Quantity of Luminaires: Figure out how many light fixtures are needed for a given space.

Luminous Efficacy Calculation: Evaluate the efficiency of light sources.

Color Codes of Fluorescent Tubes: Understand the color characteristics of fluorescent tubes.

Power Factor Correction: Optimize the power factor for better energy efficiency.

Lux Meter: Measure the illuminance level on a surface.

Power Supply for Strip LED: Calculate the power needed for LED strips.

Illuminance on the Surface: Measure the amount of light falling on a surface.

Energy - saving Lamp: Analyze the energy - saving potential of different lamps.

Photobiological Safety of LED: Ensure the safety of LED lighting for human eyes.

Specific Power: Calculate the power consumption per unit area.

Conversions offered are:

Lumens to Lux, Lux to Lumens, Lumens to Watts, Watts to Lumens, Lux to Watts, Watts to Lux, Lumens to Candela, Candela to Lumens, Lux to Candela, Candela to Lux, Lux / Foot-Candle, power comparisons, converting luminance to exposure value, exposure value to luminance, illuminance to exposure value, exposure value to illuminance, as well as converters for luminance and illuminance, and RGB/HEX and RGB/CMYK conversions.

Additional resources include:

Guidelines for interior lighting, various types of lamps, lamp fittings, bulb shapes, fluorescent tubes, standard tables for 220V power factor correction lamps, tables for luminous efficacy, information on color temperature, the Kruithof curve, the visible spectrum, typical characteristics of LEDs, SMD LEDs, units of measurement, symbols, new EU energy labeling, Unified Glare Rating, and Color Rendering Index.

Comments

The lighting quantity is supposed to mean how many nos of the same light would I need to achieve the lux level desired. But the option does not even require you to put dimensions and the qty is always 1? Would that not be an error or did I misunderstand your description?

Good but more details are needed, fluorescent lights are nowoutdated , remove their calculation and replace with LED Lights data. Beam Angles like 24,36,60,120 degrees should be incorporated in app.

This is very good app, I love using it for my calculations on nearly everything where come to electrical calculations.

That's awesome to hear! It sounds like you've found something really useful. The developers definitely deserve some recognition for their hard work.
