Lighting Fixture Schedule Worksheet Chart

Use this worksheet after the calculator result to record fixture type, room, fixture count, lumens, watts, controls, circuit grouping, and photometric follow-up.

Open calculator

Quick reference table

A lighting fixture schedule worksheet is a room-by-room planning record. It does not replace a lumen or foot-candle conversion chart; it keeps fixture count, fixture watts, controls, circuit load, room task, mounting notes, and photometric review together.

Fixture schedule worksheet columns

Fixture schedule worksheet columns
Schedule field	Record	Planning use
Room or zone	Room name, task, area, ceiling height	Keeps target level tied to actual use
Fixture type	Type mark, manufacturer, lumen output, watts, CCT, CRI	Links calculator result to product data
Count and layout	Fixture count, spacing note, mounting type	Feeds layout and photometric review
Controls	Switching, dimming, occupancy, daylight, emergency note	Affects energy and operation
Circuit load	Watts, voltage, circuit group, panel note	Routes to lighting-circuit and branch-load checks

Fixture schedule handoff checks

Fixture schedule handoff checks
Handoff	Keep visible	Why it matters
Lighting design	Foot-candles, lux, CU, LLF, task plane	Average level must stay tied to assumptions
Circuit design	Fixture watts, driver load, voltage, circuit grouping	Fixture count becomes connected load
Controls	Dimming type, occupancy, daylight, schedule	Controls can change measured levels and load profile
Procurement	Fixture type mark, option, lead time, substitution rule	A quote needs a specific fixture basis

Formula basis

Connected lighting load = fixture count x watts per fixture. Average illuminance screen = adjusted lumens / area when CU and LLF are documented.

Fixture count comes from the room or zone count selected after the lighting calculator result.
Watts per fixture is the product or schedule wattage used for connected-load review.
Adjusted lumens depend on fixture output, CU, LLF, mounting height, and room assumptions.
Controls and circuit groups determine how the schedule connects to branch-circuit planning.

Worked examples

Office fixture scheduleRecord each office zone, target foot-candles, fixture type, count, watts, control zone, circuit group, and photometric follow-up.

Warehouse aisle retrofitKeep mounting height, aisle task, fixture distribution, fixture count, watts, driver type, control plan, and branch load together before pricing.

Assumptions. Balanced load and line-to-line voltage assumptions behind this chart.

This worksheet documents fixture scheduling and does not reproduce proprietary lighting tables.
Fixture selection can change with photometric files, owner standards, product availability, mounting conditions, controls, and field measurements.
Average illuminance, connected load, and fixture count should be reviewed as separate but linked decisions.

Code and standard notes. Planning limits that should be checked before final equipment selection.

Use this chart as a field record; verify adopted energy, life-safety, workplace, owner, fixture manufacturer, control-equipment, and AHJ requirements before final fixture selection or circuit loading.

How to use this chart

1Start by room or zoneRecord each room, task, area, target level, and fixture type before adding counts or circuit load.

2Connect light and powerKeep fixture lumens, watts, count, controls, and circuit grouping together so lighting quality and branch load can both be reviewed.

3Route product reviewUse the schedule to assign photometric files, fixture substitutions, lead-time checks, controls review, and field verification.

Worksheet checklist. Record source basis, review gaps, and assumptions before using the chart result.

Capture room dataWrite room name, area, ceiling height, task plane, target level, and owner criterion.
Capture fixture dataList type mark, lumens, watts, CCT, CRI, distribution, mounting, control type, and quantity.
Capture circuit dataRecord total watts, voltage, circuit group, panel note, emergency status, and photometric follow-up.

Common mistakes to avoid. Review these before turning chart current into an equipment decision.

Using fixture count without recording fixture watts, controls, circuit group, or product basis.
Treating a foot-candle result as enough by itself for spacing, glare, uniformity, and emergency-lighting needs.
Allowing product substitutions without checking lumen output, distribution, watts, driver type, mounting, and controls compatibility.

Frequently asked questions

These answers explain how to use the chart without turning a quick reference into a final design decision.

How is this different from a lumen chart?

A lumen chart converts or screens light output. A fixture schedule records the actual rooms, fixture type marks, counts, watts, controls, and circuit groups.

Should emergency fixtures be mixed into the same row?

Emergency lighting should be clearly labeled or separated so source assumptions, testing, and life-safety review stay visible.
