2.5)
Refer to the Mazda catalog for the luminous flux, current, voltage (across the terminals)
the fluorescent tube lamp 'Symphony type Aurora' and tube
"Prestilux Or Confort, TF P36". These two tubes have a power of 36W. From

each of them the color temperature and the CRI.

2.6)
Give the meaning of color temperature and CRI
The color temperature provides information about the hue of light emitted by the bulb.
It characterizes the lighting atmosphere (warm, cold, intermediate), the appearance of the light.
The color rendering index (CRI) determines the ability of a light source to respect
the aspect of colors.
2.7)
Comment on the results found in question 2.7. To illuminate a locker room what
Which solution would you choose? Justify your answer.
For the 'Prestilux' fluorescent tube, we have a much higher luminous flux than the tube.
Symphony with the same power but the color rendering index is lower, the temperature of
Color indicates that the color will lean towards a pinkish white. The Symphonie tube has an excellent rendering.
of color (IRC=95) with an intermediate apparent temperature (White), it is much more pleasant.
A cloakroom does not need to have a very high IRC; what is essential is the lighting.
For use in a locker room: the solution is to choose the 'Prestilux' tube.

2.8)
The fluorescent tubes used in the locker room are "Prestilux Or Comfort, TF P36".
Indicate if the requested lighting in locker room no. 1 complies with the rule of
Kruïthof (see resource documents)
E = 300 Lux and the color temperature is 2700°K.
Looking at the 'Kruïthof' curves, we see that the rule is followed, so we will have a good
visual comfort.

3) The lighting project, by calculation

The purpose of this section is to create a lighting project through calculations, using the
explanatory resource documentation for the lighting project. Furthermore, this part will you
will allow you to familiarize yourself, understand the parameters you enter later
in the Mazda Lux Indoor software.

4) The lighting project, using the software 'MazdaLux Indoor'

4.1)
With the explanatory annex of the software 'MazdaLux Indoor', identify the views:
Panorama drawing, the Isolux curves, the lighting mosaic, the layer
of lighting.
You also note the "components" by default (layout view, ...)
Comment on the results obtained
Reminder: The color of the lamp used is: CFT / 827 (type 'Prestilux')
Set the maintenance factor to 0.9 when entering the room parameters (Calculation Window),
Do not change the other maintenance factors (type of luminaire and lamp).
The results correspond perfectly with the calculation made previously.
The average illumination: E average = 289 lux → It is about the desired illumination in the notebook of
charges (E = 300 lux)
The minimum illumination is 204 Lux.
The ratio: E minimum / E average = 0.70.
We can clearly see the distribution of illumination on the illumination mosaics.
This non-uniformity of illumination can be explained by looking at the photometric curve of the light
For a locker room, the lighting does not need to be perfectly evenly distributed: the specifications
the charges are perfectly respected.

4.2)
Enter as a thinking indicator the value 311.
Do not change the other settings.
The approach is as follows:
Data → Local → in the reflection factor window choose: click on default values →
choose 311→OK
What does the index 311 mean?
Start the calculation, what do you notice? Explain your answer.

The refractive index 311 means that:

The ceiling reflection is 30%. (Example: Dark wood colors)
The reflection on the wall is 10%. (Example: dark walls)
The ground reflection is 10%. (Example: dark tiles)
It is observed that changing the configuration of the ceiling, wall, and floor is necessary.
use 6 fixtures instead of 4 for a reflection index of 751.
As we saw in the darkroom system, dark colors absorb
the lighting.
When constructing such a piece, it is highly recommended to use light colors.

4.3)
Keep the PARK CHOC 236 light fixture but change the bulb, take the bulb.
"AUR/940" is the lamp previously studied in questions 4.1.6 and 4.17 (type
Aurora
The approach is as follows:
Data → Choice of lights → Add → Select All → Add → Open → type the
reference PARK CHOC 236, change the color of the lamp (AUR/940) → In the lighting box
choose it is necessary to change the name call it PARK CHOC 236 (2) for example→Add→OK.
You can then follow the procedure explained in the appendix.

What do you notice? Explain this difference.

By keeping the same fixture, we observe that by only changing the type of bulb, the number of
The number of light tubes increases from 4 to 6, which is a significant cost for a company (purchase of 2)

This difference is due to the luminous flux produced by the lamp (2350 lm) compared to 3350 lm for the tube.

The advantage of this lamp is that it has an excellent CRI, providing better visual comfort (question 2.9). But
For our use, it is better to use the 'Pestilux' lamp.
