Implementation and Test of a LED-Based Lamp for a Lighthouse
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel sustainable source was developed for an existing Italian lighthouse, exploiting the light emitting diode (LED) technology and the norms evolution. The research work started with the optical design of the device, while this work concerns the realization, installation, and test of the new LED lamp. The lamp recombines multiple separated LEDs, realizing a quasipunctual localized source. After installation in the lighthouse, specific photometric tests verified that the proposed power-saving source satisfied the illumination requirements of themarine signaling norms.The advantages of the LED-based lamp are reduced energy consumption, enhanced efficiency, longer life, decreased faults, slower aging, and lower maintenance costs.The obtained LED signalling device is more durable and reliable. In the future the application of these power-saving long-life sources could be extended to other maritime signaling devices or to other traffic signs.

During the course of a seven-month period in 1998 and 1999, 617 new patients with unilateral or bilateral blindness were evaluated as to the underlying cause. This was done at the Lighthouse for Christ Eye Centre in Mombasa, Kenya. These patients came not only from the Mombasa area, but from the entire coastal region — from the frontier with Somalia in the north to the border with Tanzania in t...
