An LED-based luminaire for badminton court illumination

Abstract

In this paper, the design of a luminaire for badminton court illumination is demonstrated from concept through computer simulation, construction trials, on-site installation, comparison with simulations and, finally, evaluations of the illuminated environment before and after the installation of the luminaires. The luminaire is composed of two high-performance light-emitting diode lighting modules, volume scattering diffusers with a one-shot transmittance higher than 70% and a reflecting cavity with a reflectivity higher than 85%. The luminaire has three different exit faces forming three Lambertian-like light sources with low luminance so as to reduce glare to the players when looking at the flight of the shuttlecock. Under similar total electric power consumption, compared to the original traditional lighting, the average illuminance on the ground is enhanced by about 300% and the uniformity is obviously improved. A questionnaire was issued to players before and after the installation of the new light-emitting diode luminaires. The new installation gained much more positive responses for brightness, comfort and number of usable courts from the players than the old installation.

Analisis Sensitivitas dan Optimisasi Sistem Pencahayaan Elektrik pada Gedung Olahraga Bulu Tangkis

“…Secara umum, penggunaan simulasi dalam hal ini dapat menjadi metode alternatif yang lebih efisien dalam mengoptimalkan sistem pencahayaan lapangan bulu tangkis, dibandingkan dengan metode coba-coba [16], [17]. Dengan demikian, analisis sensitivitas dan optimisasi dengan simulasi untuk sistem pencahayaan elektrik pada kasus gedung olah raga yang diamati ini telah berhasil dijalankan dengan efektif.…”

A blue-emitting Eu2+-activated BaZnAl10O17phosphor for white light emitting diodes: structure and luminescence properties

“…White light emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in solidstate lighting of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to their long lifetime, color tunability, high efficiency, environmental protection, energy saving nature, and durability. [1][2][3] As we all know, commercial WLEDs are implemented using blue InGaN chips combined with yellow YAG:Ce phosphors. [4][5][6][7][8] However, the lack of red regions in the spectrum results in a lower color rendering index (CRI, R a < 80) and higher color temperature (CCT > 4000 K).…”

Design of an LED Spot Light System with a Projection Distance of 10 km

“…White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been extensively applied in general lighting and special lighting [1][2][3][4][5], such as stadium [6], museum [7], and workplace lighting [8], thanks to their superior characteristics, including long life, compact size, vivid color, fast response, and environmental benefits [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. A white LED is mostly fabricated by covering a blue die with yellow phosphor; such a white LED is also called a phosphor-converted white LED (pcW-LED) [17].…”
