A 100 ft by 200 ft warehouse with 18 ft high ceilings will have luminaires for ambient lighting hung 15.5 ft above the floor. It is anticipated that the ceiling reflectance is 0.70 and the average wall reflectance is about 0.10. The space will be illuminated with intermediate distribution, reflector luminaires, as shown in Figure 20.16 with 1000 W clear metal halide lamps with an initial output of 110 000 lumen. The target illuminance is 30 fc at the floor plane. The light loss factor will be assumed to be 0.65. Neglecting the spacing criteria, determine the number of luminaires required to provide uniform illumination in the space.
