You should consider using T6 lamps. They give a much better lumen output at around half the wattage. I have replace all of my 400w metal halide with 6tube t6 fixtures at substantial energy savings.

I have incorporated CONCAVIA Luminaries using High Intensity Discharge LAmps/Halogen Lamps and the Lux levels choosen for 2 rooms are 200 Lux.

Glare Rating = 25, and color renderding = 80.

The above picture gives you details about the luminary and also a brief summary of the rooms.

consider 300 lux as a level of illumination as par CIBSE LG-3 guide line and post the lay out from your dialux calculation for swaminathan, it will give him a real picture. HID is cost implecation better to consider T6.

thanks
