Chapter 34, Problem 45P
(II) The luminous efficiency of a lightbulb is the ratio of luminous flux to electric power input. (a) What is the luminous efficiency (%) of a 100-W, 1700-lm bulb? (b) How many 40-W, 60-lm/W fluorescent lamps would be needed to provide an illuminance of 250 lm/m2 on a factory floor of area 25 m × 30 m? Assume the lights are 10 m above the floor and that half their flux reaches the floor.
