A football pitch 120m x 40 m is to be illuminated for night play by similar banks of equal 1500W lamps supported on twelve towers which are distributed around the ground to provide approximately uniform illumination of the pitch. Assuming that 38% of the total light emitted reaches the playing pitch and that an illumination of 900 lux is necessary for television purposes, calculate the number of lamps on each tower. The overall efficiency of the lamp is to be taken as 31 lm/W. The maintenance factor is 0.99. Give the computed numerical value in your answer not the rounded-off integer number of lamps.

A football pitch 120m x 40 m is to be illuminated for night play by similar banks of equal 1500W lamps
supported on twelve towers which are distributed around the ground to provide approximately uniform
illumination of the pitch. Assuming that 38% of the total light emitted reaches the playing pitch and that an
illumination of 900 lux is necessary for television purposes, calculate the number of lamps on each tower.
The overall efficiency of the lamp is to be taken as 31 lm/W. The maintenance factor is 0.99. Give the
computed numerical value in your answer not the rounded-off integer number of lamps.
