Illuminance and uniformity in street lighting

Overall Illuminance Uniformity of IRED Lighting in Nighttime CCTV

LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are superior to the conventional light bulbs and florescent lights in terms of low power dissipation, high efficient and longer lifetime. Therefore, conventional light bulbs are gradually being replaced by LED light bulbs as the next generation lighting source. LEDs are also playing more important roles in industrial applications, such as backlighting in LCD display...

Illuminance requirements for emergency lighting

Intelligent Lighting Control Using Correlation Coefficient between Luminance and Illuminance

An intelligent lighting system which provides required illumiancne at an appropriate location is proposed. This system does not have the centralized control device and also it is controlled by each intelligent lighting’s autonomous operation. Also the intelligent lighting system can contribute to energy saving. In this research, a new algorithm is proposed. For rapid converges it uses the corre...

Street Lighting Disturbs Commuting Bats

Anthropogenic disturbance is a major cause of worldwide declines in biodiversity. Understanding the implications of this disturbance for species and populations is crucial for conservation biologists wishing to mitigate negative effects. Anthropogenic light pollution is an increasing global problem, affecting ecological interactions across a range of taxa and impacting negatively upon critical ...
