The software allows you to input your project details which will enable
you to recall them at any time and make any necessary changes. The
programme is written in Windows
format.
• Once project
details have been established you are invited to enter the room
dimensions and details. The software will allow square, oblong and
L-shaped rooms to be calculated. The required lux level is available
from a drop down menu which gives you a detailed list of commonly
requested illuminance levels as recommended by C.I.B.S.E.
• There are several options for the
Reflectance levels in the desired room. The reflectance levels are
determined by the colours of the surfaces in the room. This will
determine how much light (after it has been emitted from the luminaire)
will be interreflected back into the room, falling on the working
plane.
• There are also room type &
environment options. These are used to calculate the Maintenance Factor
of the installation in the average condition of dirtiness expected in
service.
• The majority of the luminaires available
from Fitzgerald Lighting are featured on Fitzillume, including options
for number of lamps and choice of attachments.
• The Lumen Calculation Results screen
summarises the details entered and calculates the amount of luminaires
needed to reach the required illumination level. The Lumen Calculation
is 1 average calculation based on the total area. It is calculated to
achieve as close to the requested light level as possible without
exceeding the luminaires SHR (Space To Height Ratio).
• When the layout view is requested the
room outline with the luminaires spaced evenly within the room's
boundaries will appear. Point to Source illuminance in the room is also
available which is defaulted to 10 x 10 which gives you 100 calculation
points in the room. This can be increased to as many as 2500 in any one
room.
• Results can be displayed in various ways,
numeric grid, intensity grid, bar graph etc.
• Other options include the ability to add
and delete fittings and ceiling grids, make a fitting an emergency
variation, change the mounting height of the luminaire, rotate the
luminaire or even simulate the light level when a luminaire is turned
off as well as many
others.
