[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
i.
Provide illumination by fluorescent lamps producing light between Commission Internationale de
L'Eclairage chromatic indexes 90 and 100. Base design on the lower lumen ratings of these lamps.
j.
Provide indirect illumination.
k.
See exceptions under specific clinics.
l.
Control day and night illumination levels by conventional on-off switches.
6.7.5.1 LIGHT SOURCES:
Incandescent: The use of incandescent lamps, unless specifically required or approved, is prohibited.
Use fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps in lieu of incandescent light sources for general
illumination.
High Intensity Discharge (HID): Utilize metal halide HID sources for large interior utility spaces having
relatively high ceilings or where maintenance is difficult (i.e., Boiler Rooms and Mechanical Equipment
Rooms.) High pressure sodium is preferable where color is not an important factor, such as for exterior
and parking lot lighting.
Fluorescent: Use fluorescent lamps as the principal interior lighting source. Utilize F32T8 32 W (watts)
rapid start, fluorescent lamps with a color temperature of 3500 degrees K, a color rendering index (CIE)
not less than 75 and an initial 3050 lm (lumen) minimum output, except color-corrected lamps having a
color rendering index (CIE) of 90 or above and correlated color temperature between 5000 degrees K and
6000 degrees K in the following areas:
Over the beds in Recovery Rooms
Surgery Rooms (color shall match that of the O.R. light)
Dental Rooms (Examination, Oral Hygiene, Oral Surgery, Recovery, Labs, Treatment and X-ray)
In other areas where special lighting may be required, follow the latest illumination levels list.
Ballasts: Electronic high-frequency type ballasts shall be used for all fluorescent lighting in all areas
except Animal Research Spaces, Libraries (within a 20 ft. sphere from the book detectors) or any other
areas as specifically directed. These spaces shall use electromagnetic core-and-coil type ballasts.
All fluorescent lamps shall meet TCLP requirements.
6.7.5.2 LIGHTING LAYOUTS:
Use VA illumination levels as design values and not as minimums. Select the number of lamps and the
fixture type according to the recommended finishes specified in each area to ensure the intended lighting
levels indicated in Table 6.7.5.
In Offices, Examination Rooms and similar spaces with non-fixed task locations which require 60 foot-
candles or greater, position ends of fluorescent fixtures (or rows) within 2-1/2 ft. of abutting walls. Select
fixtures and lamp quantities to provide the required lighting level.
Eliminate lighting fixtures from established general lighting layouts designated as non-task areas such as
aisle space or other traffic locations in front of doorways. Eliminate the fixture for rooms over 100 sq. ft. if a
door swing arc intercepts a lighting fixture on the floor plans.
Instead of using the ceiling system, run continuous rows of three-lamp fluorescent fixtures centered over
the front edge of wall-mounted benches and crosswise to double-sided benches in laboratories,
pharmacies, shops and similar areas having work tables and benches. Eliminate or reduce the number of
fixtures over open floor areas.
