Connected load schedule rowsConnected load is built from countable lighting rows before operating hours or annual energy are read.

Load item	What to capture	Effect on estimate	Boundary
Fitting group	Room, zone, circuit label used in the lighting estimate, or other clear group name.	Connected load must belong to the same group as the hours and controls.	This worksheet is not an electrical circuit schedule or installation document.
Input watts per fitting	Rated watts for each included luminaire, lamp or LED driver group.	Watts per fitting multiplied by count sets the simple connected load.	Watts do not show whether the task plane has enough light.
Quantity included	Number of fittings, drivers or lighting groups counted in the estimate.	A changed count can change load even when each fitting is efficient.	Do not include future or optional fittings unless the scenario says so.
Connected load result	Total watts and kilowatts for the same boundary.	The kW value feeds running-cost and annual kWh calculations.	This is a lighting planning figure, not wiring advice.
Operating assumption	Hours per day, days per year and any dimming or control schedule used.	Annual kWh changes directly with the operating schedule.	A control assumption should not be treated as guaranteed user behaviour.
Comparison note	Existing load, proposed load and any change in output, zone or hours.	Energy savings are clearer when load changes are separated from light-output changes.	A lower load is not a formal acceptance result or procurement decision.
