Lighting circuit load fields
Lighting circuit load record fields for Australian lighting worksheets and switchboard load schedules.
Lighting circuit load fields keeps lighting and estimating table values traceable for Australian records. Show lighting load record fields without selecting a circuit rating, protective device or final lighting design. Check the source, last verified date (13 July 2026), Australia; product data, circuit design, project requirements and competent review govern final decisions., and the current project documents before carrying any row into a calculator or design note.
Lighting circuit fields for load estimates
Show lighting load record fields without selecting a circuit rating, protective device or final lighting design.
| Field | Purpose | Typical source | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circuit or area reference | Identifies the lighting group being calculated. | Drawings, schedule or site record | Do not merge unrelated areas without a clear record. |
| Fitting wattage | Sets connected load per fitting. | Luminaire or driver datasheet | Use product data rather than generic assumptions. |
| Quantity | Counts fittings or drivers included in the group. | Lighting layout or take-off | Quantity changes require recalculation. |
| Driver or power-factor note | Keeps apparent-power context visible where needed. | Product data or design note | Do not infer power factor when it matters. |
| Phase or board allocation | Carries load into switchboard and balancing records. | Circuit schedule | Final allocation needs board review. |
- Use this table to prepare lighting load records.
- Circuit selection and protection remain project-specific design decisions.
Before lighting fields feed demand estimates
Capture fittings, control groups and circuit assumptions before carrying lighting loads into demand or cable calculations.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Show lighting load record fields without selecting a circuit rating, protective device or final lighting design. |
| How to use the source | Field table only; lighting load arithmetic lives on the lighting circuit load calculator. |
| Standards and project context | Australian 230/400 V and AS/NZS 3000 context noted for project review; verify current rules and project requirements. |
| Where judgement is still needed | Use this table for lookup, labelling or worksheet context; do not treat it as a project-specific calculation result. |
| Before relying on it | Confirm current standards, local authority requirements, DNSP conditions, project documents and manufacturer data before relying on a decision. |
Field model basis for lighting load fields
Keep the field model version, checked date and Australian project scope visible beside each lighting record.
