A factor used in calculating luminance after a given period of time and under given conditions. It takes into account temperature and voltage variations, dirt accumulation on luminaire and lit surfaces, lamp depreciation, maintenance procedures and atmos
The result of time-dependent depreciation effects must be considered in the initial design. Regular maintenance is particularly important with regard to energy conservation and these plans, once incorporated into the design, should be carried out or the
A protective device used to open or close electrical circuits when certain limits, such as temperature or pressure, are reached.
An approach limit at a distance from an exposed live part within which a shock hazard exists.
A device that protects power lines and equipment against high voltage lighting surges and switching surges. Connected from line to ground potential, the device has a very high resistance to current flow at normal voltages.
