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

CUSTOM CHANDELIERS & PENDANTS
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.
PUBLIC AREA LIGHTING
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.
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.
7
Installation Requirements:
Note: When specifying large chandeliers, installation in sections is recommended.
PUBLIC AREA LIGHTING
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.
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
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.
PUBLIC AREA LIGHTING
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

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.
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
Lifetime: LEDs have a relatively longer useful life than fluorescent bulbs and incandescent bulbs.
11
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
BULBS
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
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.
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.
13
BULBS
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.
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
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.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
(ADA REQUIREMENTS)
NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
This section is to help you become acquainted with the current requirements under the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) that effect lighting fixtures designed/installed in Hospitality locations.

TITLE 24 ENERGY REQUIREMENTS(CALIFORNIA)
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
www.energy.ca.gov/title24.
21
NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Indoor lighting is one of the single largest consumers of energy (kilowatt-hours) in a
commercial building, representing about 1/3 of electricity use.
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.)
NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
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.
