4 TABLE LAMPS & FLOOR LAMPS Convenience Outlet: A three-prong electrical outlet located at the base of the lamp. Requirements when specifying include a 1 3/4 base height, three-wire SVT-3 cord set with 3-prong grounded plugs. Typical Capacity = 4 amps (cell phone and laptop). Higher amperage can be specified with a heavy duty cord that can accommodate hair dryers, etc. Note: the recommended positioning is to orient one outlet so the hole for the grounded prong is up, and if two outlets, the second outlet is oriented so the hole is positioned on the side. All convenience outlets should be protected by the appropriate circuit breaker Registered Jack outlet (aka data port) A standard jack used for connecting telecommunications or data equipment to a service provider. RJ-11 connects dial-up modems & fax communication and RJ-45 connects internet, DSL or Ethernet. Specify a 1 base height minimum. PORTABLES Note: Use of a data port in a lamp can weaken the data signal due to possible interference with the electrical wires. Bolt Down Permanently secures table lamp to surface such as table top or top of nightstand. Requirements when specifying include Cord exit location (COR Cord out rear of lamp or COB Cord out bottom of lamp) and surface thickness. Testing Requirements: UL Labeled: All light fixtures must have polarized end plugs using SPT degree wire and pass a UL Required tilt test. 4

7 CUSTOM CHANDELIERS & PENDANTS Public area lighting is designed as a custom piece to fit into the designated space. Requirements and specifications can vary from project to project. The following is a guideline to use when designing a custom fixture and writing the specifications. Design: Hot Spots: Areas in the lighting fixture can be significantly brighter than other areas of the fixture. On occasion, hot spots are necessary for the design of the fixture. Typically, hot spots are avoided by specifying the right material or diffuser. Always inform the lighting designer of the material and diffuser so they can create the right look for the fixture. Frosted Bulbs can help reduce hot spots. Sprinklers Determine whether sprinklers are required in the space and know where they are located. When needed, designing around the sprinkler heads can be accomplished. Voltage Requirements: 120-Volt System: Typical in small commercial projects. 277-Volt System: Standard application for medium to large commercial type projects. Fluorescent bulbs are used for the 277-volt single phase. This system can provide an overall savings of 40 to 45% when compared with a system using separate transformers for power and lighting. Incandescent bulbs cannot be used with this system. PUBLIC AREA LIGHTING 7

8 Installation Requirements: Note: When specifying large chandeliers, installation in sections is recommended. Door Opening: Before specifying the fixture, always determine the size of the doorways that the fixture will go through and note restrictions on specs. This will include loading docks, freight elevators, and the entry to the installation area. PUBLIC AREA LIGHTING Mounting Details: Check the ceiling height of the space to determine proper mounting applications. Typically, the bottom of the fixture must yield at least 8 feet above finished floor. (It is always recommended to check with the general contractor during construction to verify the specified ceiling height is accurate.) Solid Rod, Stem, or cable can be a specified form for mounting the fixture. (When using a solid rod or stem, adjustments are difficult to make in the field if the specified ceiling height changes during construction.) Chain or cable is recommended when the ceiling height is unknown. Canopy Requirements: Lightweight fixtures (50 lbs or less) require mounting directly to a junction box with (2) 8-32 Mounting Screws into finished ceiling. Medium weight fixture requires a 3/8 threaded rod secured to the above existing structure and must extend 1 below finished ceiling. Heavyweight fixtures require a 1/2 threaded rod secured to the above existing structure. Fixtures that span long distances require multiple thread rods and must extend 1 below finished ceiling. 8

9 Finish Options Metal Plated - Applied to metal to create finishes, such as Polished Brass on Steel Powder Coating Applied to metal to create a hard corrosion resistant finish color. Color options are unlimited and are available as a custom order. Hand-Applied (Painted) This process is commonly used on metal, wood, resin, acrylic and ceramic to achieve the desired finish effect. Powder coated base color on metal products is recommended before applying. Note: There are several options to consider when determining the right finish for the fixture: Weight & Size if the fixture is large and the weight is heavy, you may consider using acrylic or resin instead of glass, and aluminum instead of steel. Plated & Painted if the fixture is going to be at eye level, it is best to use plated material. The fixture can be painted if it is installed higher than 15 feet. Material Type: Fabric, Acrylic, Poly-Resin, Metal, Ceramic, Crystal, Glass. Installation Requirements: Hard-wired directly in an electrical junction box (j-box). See Page 15 Electrical Cord: Electrical cords are recommended Stem Options & Colors: Chain, Solid Stem, or cable are available in complimentary finishes. Switch Type & Location: Standard Wall Switch (on/off or Dimmable) Size: Scale fixture to fit within the available space. (See Hallmark Sales Representative for Assistance) 9 PUBLIC AREA LIGHTING

11 LED (LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE) Efficiency: LEDs emit more light per watt than incandescent bulbs. Their efficiency is not affected by shape and size, unlike fluorescent light bulbs. Color: LEDs can emit light of an intended color without using any color filter as traditional lighting methods need. See Kelvin Diagram on Page On/Off Time: LEDs light up very quickly. Dimmable: LEDs can easily be dimmed either by pulse-width modulation or lowering the forward current. This application can cause failure to the bulb over time. Lifetime: LEDs have a relatively longer useful life than fluorescent bulbs and incandescent bulbs. Environmentally Friendly: LEDs do not contain trace amounts of mercury, like fluorescent lamps. Application: LEDs should be specified when heat output is a concern (ie: reading lamps) or when bulb replacement is difficult or costly (e.g.: Chandeliers and outdoor lighting) BULBS 11

12 BULBS FLUORESCENT BULB TYPES All Lamps require a ballast as part of the lamp or fixture. Compact Fluorescent-4 PIN Requires a separate electronic ballast to power bulb. Recommended use for fixtures or lamps requiring to turn automatically on (i.e.: guestrooms or restrooms) Wattage: PL-13, PL-18, PL-26 Circline Fluorescent (Typically Used) Available in 20 to 30 Watt range. Compact Fluorescent Spring Type Bulb Made with built-in electronic ballast for instant on application used for screw-in applications as alternate for incandescent lamps. Provides 13 times the life expectancy of incandescent bulbs Available in candelabra or Edison base for table floor lamps, chandeliers, recessed cans, ceiling fixtures. Available in 3-way or dimmable, with some limitations. Color: See Kelvin Diagram on page Dimmable Ballasts Dimmable Ballast is the component necessary for a CFL to dim, which is then controlled by a dimmable system (i.e.: Lutron) Dimmable Ballasts can power two CFL s per ballast and is typically hidden in the fixture. The cost of a dimmable ballast ($75-$100 each) is significantly higher than a non-dimmable ballast ($8 - $12). 12

13 COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMP (CFL) RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL Recycling CFLs and other fluorescent light bulbs helps reduce the chance that the small amount of mercury they contain will not end up in the environment, and some states/provinces require consumers to recycle fluorescent bulbs after they burn out. If your local environmental regulatory agency offers no other disposal options except your household garbage, place the fluorescent light bulb in a plastic bag and seal it before putting it in the trash. If your waste agency incinerates its garbage, you should search a wider geographic area for proper disposal options. If a Fluorescent bulb does break, please note the following: Open a window and leave the room for 15 minutes or more. Using disposable gloves, carefully scoop up the fragments and powder with stiff paper or cardboard. Place contents in a sealed plastic bag. Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes and place them in a plastic bag. (Do not vacuum or use a broom to clean up the broken bulb) Place all cleanup materials in a second sealed plastic bag. Wash your hands after disposing of the bag. If a fluorescent bulb breaks on carpet or rug, remove all materials you can without using a vacuum and then follow the steps above. Note: Sticky tape can be used to pick up small pieces and powder. If vacuuming is needed after all visible materials are removed, vacuum the area where the bulb was broken, remove the vacuum bag and put the bag or vacuum debris in two sealed plastic bags in the outdoor trash or protected outdoor location for normal disposal.

14 COMPACT FLUORESCENT-INCANDESCENT COMPARISON The chart below is an approximate comparison equivalent of compact fluorescent to incandescent wattage. Actual wattage may vary from bulb to bulb. KELVIN: MEASUREMENT OF COLOR TEMPERATURE BULBS Often Kelvin is used to measure the color temperature of light sources. Color temperature is a quantitative measure. The higher the number of Kelvin, the cooler, i.e. bluer. Warmer color starts with Sunlight at Sunrise and/or Candelight at 1800 kelvin with Incandescent lamp ranging between 2600 Kelvin to 3100 Kelvin. There are many options for the color of lamping in incandescent, compact fluorescent, linear fluorescent, LED. 14

15 ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOXES 4 X 4 Square Box 3.5 X 3.5 Octagon Box 2 X 4 Rectangular Box (AKA: Switch box) Electrical Junction Boxes A junction box is an electrical box used to run multiple conductors in two or more directions to bring power to various electrical devices. Square boxes are used for installation in ceiling or walls for lighting fixtures, switches or receptacles and used to run multiple conductors in two or more directions to provide power to various electrical devices. Octagon Electrical Box is used for installation of ceiling or wall mounted light fixtures up to 50 pounds Rectangular Electrical(switchbox) box is generally used for switches and plug outlets.

21 TITLE 24 ENERGY REQUIREMENTS(CALIFORNIA) Indoor lighting is one of the single largest consumers of energy (kilowatt-hours) in a commercial building, representing about 1/3 of electricity use. The objective of the Standards is the effective reduction of this energy use without compromising the quality of lighting or task work. The Standards restrict the overall installed lighting power in the building, regardless of the compliance approach. This means that installed lighting may be greater in some areas of the building and lower in others, as long as the total does not exceed the allowed lighting power. Title 24 was incorporated and mandated in the State of California However, it is quickly becoming the standard in many other energy conscious states including MA, NY, TX, AZ, WA, FL and GA. For specific information regarding Title 24 & your project, check out the website at NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS 21

22 NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS TITLE 20 (CALIFORNIA) On January 1, 2010, California Title 20 requirements for lamps and portable luminaires went into effect. (This only applies to lamps being shipped to projects in California.) The state law offers five options for complying with it energy-efficiency requirement: Nicknamed bulb-in-a-box, the first provision requires that manufacturers include a compact fluorescent lamp in the product packaging so that a standard screw-based socket can continue to be used in the lamp, but the lamp would be considered energy efficient. This option is important for some manufacturers who want to keep the screw-based lamp that the consumer is familiar with, versus designing around a dedicated fluorescent base. If the portable lamp has a three-way socket on dimming socket, then the bulb in the box has to be compatible with that as well. A second pathway is to build a portable lamp with a dedicated fluorescent socket and valise, essentially resulting in a fluorescent portable lamp. The third option is to build a portable lamp with a new kind of socket - GU 24 -which cannot be used with incandescent lamps. That makes the socket compatible only with compact fluorescent. Equip the portable lamp with an LED light engine that plugs in, screws in or are self-contained and meet certain efficiency requirements. Lastly, portable lamps can be equipped with a single-ended, non-screwed based halogen lamp socket. This can be standard or low voltage light source, but the lamp must have a dimmer or high/low control and the maximum wattage allowed is 100W. Exceptions Portable wall-mounted adjustable fixtures - swing arm lamps, can be sold as is without a bulb in the box. Requirements for this exception is reducing the wattage to 53 until 2011 and 43W after that. Single-socket picture lights have a maximum wattage of 25W. If they have multiple sockets, the maximum allowed dips down to 15W. 22
