LUMEN METHOD
Utilization factor-- Ratio of flux received by reference plane to total rated lamp flux in the installation.
Utilization factor of a lighting installation depends only on polar curve of the luminaire, the room geometry (represented by room index) and reflectances of the ceiling, wall and floor.

LUMEN METHOD
E= N x n x ø x UF x MF
A
where MF = LLMF x LSF x LMF x RSMF
E =Maintained illuminance, lux
A = Area, m2
Ø = Initial lamp flux, lumen
