Painting a workshop's walls and ceiling in a light colour reduces the lighting energy needed because it

  • A.raises the utilisation factor
  • B.raises the lamps' luminous efficacy
  • C.reduces the maintenance factor required
  • D.lowers the illuminance the task requires

Answer: A

Correct answer: raises the utilisation factor

Light striking a pale surface is reflected back into the room instead of being absorbed, so a greater proportion of the flux emitted reaches the working plane. The lamps are unchanged; what improves is how much of their output is put to use, and in a room with high walls the effect is substantial.
