This lesson introduces you the different types of lamps and luminaires. These
terms are lifted from the (PEC) Philippine Electrical Code 2009 which will help you
understand the lesson.
Lighting Outlet. An outlet intended for the direct connection of a lamp holder, a
luminaire (lighting fixture), or a pendant cord terminating in a lamp holder.
Location, Damp. Locations protected from weather and not subject to saturation
with water or other liquids but subject to moderate degrees of moisture. Examples of
such locations include partially protected locations under canopies, marquees,
roofed open porches, and like locations, and interior locations subject to moderate
degrees of moisture, such as some basements, some barns, and some cold- storage
warehouses.
Luminaire. A complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp or lamps together with the
parts designed to distribute the light, to position and protect the lamps and ballast
(where applicable), and to connect the lamps to the power supply.
Outlet. A point on the wiring system at which current is taken to supply utilization
equipment.

In this lesson, you will learn about the PEC Provisions on the installation
and use of different types of lighting fixtures. As a future electrician, it is imperative
that we have knowledge on doing installation, troubleshooting, and repair of
different luminaires that conforms to the provisions of the Philippine Electrical
Code.
To start your career, you should be familiar with different terms that are
related to luminaires.
Luminaires, lighting fixtures, and sometimes, some people call it lamp when
referring to a source of light. But what is the correct term? All terms are technically
correct but according to an article, Luminaire vs. Light Fixture: What is the
Difference? (n.d.) luminaire is the proper technical term to be used. As explained in
the article, the Illuminating Engineers Society (IES) Lighting Handbook and the 2014
National Electrical Code, Article 100 (which originally the 2004 NEC), define
a luminaire as, “a complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp or lamps together with
the parts designed to distribute the light, to position and protect the lamps, and to
connect the lamps to the power supply.”
If you review the entry for fixture in the Illuminating Engineers Society (IES)
Lighting Handbook states, “see Luminaire.” While the National Electrical Code (NEC)
does not have an entry for fixture.
Why we should use the term luminaire over light fixture? The article explains
that the 2004 NEC Handbook provides a hint: “standardization”. Luminaire is used
not only by the IES Lighting Handbook and American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)/ National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards but also by
the International Electro-technical Commission.
Light fixture or luminaire either term may be used interchangeably. My
preference is luminaire as it again includes the lamp and all components directly
associated with the lumen distribution, positioning, and protection of the light unit
Another term that we should understand if we are into installing luminaires
is the term lighting outlet. Some people interchange the meaning of lighting outlet
and lighting fixture/luminaire. As defined in the Philippine Electrical Code, lighting
outlet is an outlet intended for the direct connection of a lamp holder, a luminaire
(lighting fixture), or a pendant cord terminating in a lamp holder.
Lighting fixtures, lamp holders, and lamps shall have no live parts normally
exposed to contact (Art. 410, p. 397).
The code also required that any broken part of the fixture, which may expose
any live part, must be replaced.
1. Fixtures must not be installed in wet or damp locations so that water cannot enter
or accumulate in the wiring compartments, lamp holders, or other electrical parts.

3. In indoor sports, mixed-used and all-purpose facilities fixtures installed shall be
of the type that protects the lamp with a glass or plastic lens and shall have additional
guard.
WIRING OF LUMINAIRES
Electrical fixtures cannot be wired in any manner, there are provisions that
should be followed. Mogado, Jomar P. (2015) lifted this provision from the (PEC Art.
4.10.6, p. 614) and it states that, “Wiring on or within fixtures shall be neatly
arranged and shall not be exposed to physical damage. Excess wiring shall be avoided.
Conductors shall be arranged so that they are not subjected to temperature above those
for which they are rated. Luminaires shall be wired with conductors having insulation
suitable for the environment conditions, current, voltage, and temperature to which
the conductors will be subjected”.
1. Ambient/General Lighting
Ambient / General lighting can be indoor or outdoor.
Indoor ambient/general lighting is installed to light up a room or a space in
its entirety. It provides a uniform level of illumination throughout the space
independently of other lighting sources.
Moreover, its purpose is to ensure safe and easy traffic, as well as to create an
overview of the room. The ambient light ‘bounces’ off the walls to illuminate as much
space as possible.
To create ambient lighting, we can use overhead fixtures like recessed pot
lights, chandeliers, track lights and other ceiling lamps, or fixtures like table and
floor lamps.

2. Task lighting
Task lighting is created to illuminate the tasks that a person usually does in
each space such as reading, cooking, studying, computer works and the like.
Brighter light is required in this area of the room for these kinds of tasks. Localized
type of lighting can be provided by a variety of different sources, that may give the
option to adjust the lighting for a workspace or chosen area and brighten or darken
it to suit the needs.
To have a more pleasant lighting, it is often best to avoid harsh lights or
lighting that casts troublesome shadows. It is also practical to install a single switch
for this specific lighting, independent from the room’s overall lighting switch.
This type of lighting can be created using a variety of light sources, including
desk or task lamps as well as overhead sources like recessed or track lighting. Task
lamps should be adjustable or angled down to keep the light on the task and out of
your eyes. They should also be placed to the side of your work to reduce glare and
limit shadows.
Halogen bulbs work well for task lighting because they produce a white light
like daylight and use less energy than incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs are another
good choice because it will not get hot when you are working for long periods of time
and they produce a direct, bright light. Another advantage is that it lasts longer than
other type of lamps.
3. Accent Lighting
Accent lighting as described in 3 Basic Types of Lighting. (2020, May 28) is
used mainly to focus on a specific point of interest or to achieve a desired effect. This
type of lighting gives the impression of a larger room. It is more frequently used to
highlight an architectural feature, a plant (in outdoor layout), a sculpture, or a
collection of objects.

3. Ceiling-mounted lighting
Its main purpose of this form of luminaire is
for general lighting. It is suitable in lighting lobbies
and hallways with lower ceiling.
4. Wall-mounted lighting
Wall-mounted lighting fixture is generally
installed as an accent but may also serve as
general lighting. It can be installed inside or outside
the building and is often installed at eye level; thus,
it is not subjected to physical damage.

Mounted
5. Portable lighting
A portable lighting fixture is a form of
luminaire that can easily be moved from one place
to another and can be plugged into a socket outlet.
Portable lamps shall be wired with flexible cord
and an attachment plug of the polarized or
grounding type (PEC Article 4.10.7.9). Photo retrieved from Christensen, J.
(2015, August 27).
6. Track lighting
Mogado, Jomar P. (2015) lifted the meaning of
track lighting from PEC, Art. 4.10.15. p. 628. A
track lighting fixture is a manufactured assembly
designed to support and energize luminaires that
are capable of being readily repositioned on the
track. Its length can be altered by the addition or Photo retrieved from What Is Track
subtraction of section or track. Lighting?
There are PEC provisions that should be followed in installing track lighting.
Some these provisions are enumerated in the book of Mogado, Jomar P. (2015).

f. In locations extended through walls or partition - It should not be installed
traversing walls because part of it will be concealed.
g. In less than 1 500 mm above the finished floor level except where protected from
physical damage of track - the height of installation must be enough to avoid
physical damage. If installed lower that 1,500 mm above the finished floor, it
should be protected by glass covering or other materials that act as protection.
h. In bathtub and shower areas
i. Flush and Recessed
These forms of lighting fixtures can be utilized for ambient or general lighting,
task lighting, and accent lighting. Incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, halogen
lamps, and LED lamps can be used in flush and recessive lighting fixture.
As described in the article of Wallender, L. (n.d.) recessed light fixtures (often
known as canister lights, can lights, or downlights) use a design in which the bulb and
socket assembly is contained within a metal housing that fits entirely above the plane
of the ceiling. Except for a thin trim piece around the bottom rim and sometimes a
small portion of the inner reflector, no part of the light fixture extends below the ceiling
line.
Flush mount light fixtures sit flush against the ceiling rather than hanging
down on a chain, wire, or down rod like in pendant light or sit deep in the ceiling like
recessed lighting.

pressurized tube, causing metallic additives to vaporize. This type of lamp is usually
used for outdoor lighting.
Types of high-intensity discharge lamps:
a. Metal Halide c. Low Pressure Sodium
b. High Pressure Sodium d. Mercury Vapor
