Photometric and Electrical Properties of the Light Sources
Authors: ,
Abstract: The paper explores the effect of regulation and temperature on the photometric and electrical properties of the artificial light sources commonly used in residential and administrative buildings. While energy consumption for lighting systems is one of leading areas of usage, it is possible to improve this lighting system and reduce the energy consumption. While several theoretical approaches are available only some of them can be used, due to limitations of standards which set the quality of the luminous environment; for example, illuminance level, uniformity illuminance, the colour rendering respectively colour temperature or glare requirements. As a result of this limitations, this paper compares relative illuminance, colour temperature, spectral composition and I-V curve for different temperatures and regulation level to calculate ideal lighting system. For temperature regulation was used climatic chamber, which maintains selected temperature. For light source regulation was used KNX regulation actor. The measurement does not show considerable temperature impact on the photometrical or electrical properties of the artificial light sources. This fact will be used for calculation of the ideal luminous environment with economical energy consumption.
