Important notes
  • Check services, structure, furniture, access panels, and the luminaire photometric file before installation.
  • Australian standards may inform the planning boundary; this calculator does not certify compliance.

Formulas

  • \(\displaystyle n_x = \lceil(L-2O_x)/S_x\rceil + 1\)
  • \(\displaystyle x_i = O_x + i(L-2O_x)/(n_x-1)\)
  • Coordinates are a geometric planning model; optical performance requires separate review.
