Lamp Symbol?

[KATIE0801]

I need to draw a basic lighting plan for a living room and I want to include 3 table lamps and one of those tall reading lamps (that stand on the floor and can be positioned especially for reading). But i cannot find info on how to represent these? I can only find wall and ceiling mounted light symbols. Please help.

Have you tried http://www.cben.net and the furniture blocks they have available?

You might try the block library on http://www.cadforum.cz/catalog_en/?cat=16&page=1

 

They have loads of stuff.

As far as a "symbol" goes, there's not a true "standard symbol" for those items(that I'm aware of) due to the fact it's typically a user supplied item, rather than something needed for construction information, and the placement is typically more haphazard rather than exacting.

 

Use whatever will work for you, just remember to indicate the wiring for where they'll be plugged-in.

Are you referring to the "gooseneck" style floor lamp? I don't think it would be the torchiere style. They tend to cast their light upwards towards the ceiling.

The symbol (A) means a light fitting, add what type they are for each letter in a list, is the normal way on electrical drawings, we dont show a image of fittings as a rule other then maybe a square of the correct dims ie 600x600 or how long a flu is etc

Great. Thanks for all your help.

... if the lamp has its own switch (i.e. not a wall switch) does that mean you put a symbol S next to it or by the wall next to it.

 

Also I have seen the symbol PS - does this mean Pull Switch? Is this for lamps?

Only show switches mounted in or on the wall, that go to light fixtures or outlets. S3 for three way (two) switches controlling one, or a set of fixtures and/or outlets.

PS is for pull switch, in the ceiling, and you would just put PS next to the light symbol, for laundry rooms and such usually.

Its not normal in an electrical drawing to show any fitting that are fitted later by the customer ie plugin table lamps etc, in the uk we do fit 5amp sockets via a light switchs by the door for these type of fixures. and a note stating what they are for could be added to the drawing ?
