LED Indoor Lighting

Labels: , , , , ,

We have been discussing about outdoor lighting at length, LED has huge potential for Indoor lighting, which can be characterized by

  1. Efficiency
  2. Color temperature 
  3. Rendering
  4. Color
  5. Dimming
  6. Directionality
Few example applications of LED indoor lighting are
  1. Office lighting
  2. Shop lighting
  3. Home improvement lighting
  4. Hospital lighting
Office lighting/Ambient lighting

Office lighting is the general purpose lighting in office . These may include recessed down light, surface mounted ceiling lights, LED Tube lights and table lamps.The LED office lighting not only used for reducing electricity consumption and also used for
  • Improves productivity
  • Increasing mental awareness

Mental Awareness:

The incandescent light affects human in two ways,
  1. Light enables us to see and feel things. Light regulates our body rhythms such as the sleep/wake cycle. Different types and levels of light can affect a person's ability to see clearly, identify people and objects, and drive safely.
  2. It can also increase sleep efficiency of older adults and reduce symptoms of seasonal affective disorder, felt by many people during winter months.

The LED lights will be very bright which helps us to see clearly. So it will be very helpful to human brain and increase the mental awareness. This light will reduce a sleeping efficiency and their laziness.

Productivity:

LED lights can reduce the irritation of the eyes, breakdown of vision, headaches, indigestion etc. These symptoms can be disabling while it certainly reduce worker productivity and  spoiled their health. eyestrain will come from invisible light, flickering lamp and inadequate light. LED lights are energy efficient and it can reduce eyestrain which in turn leads to improved productivity.


Shop Lighting:

Shop lighting with efficient solid state lights using LED will results in better sales while saving money by reducing energy usage and maintenances cost

  1. Sales can be increased in shops by use different colors of led lights…it will increase the sensation of our mood.
  2. LEDs are available in red, orange, amber, yellow, green, blue and  white.
  3. Different lighting condition can change the mood of people of shopping in building. Then LED colour lighting will lead to an improvement in mood , thinking capacity will be increased.


Hospital lighting:

Hospital or health care facilities can use ultra high efficiency led lights with replacement of CFL, HID etc..
The Led lights is not only safe and toxic free which means it does not have mercury toxic content…so it protect us from mercury emission…and this lighting easy on the eye also, LED lights will increase vitamin ‘D’ and decreasing dental decay

VITAMIN ‘D’:
  • Some LEDs are promoted as producing ultra violet (uv) radiation .Its is shorter than the visible lights, in the range from 10nm to 400nm. UV range from 290 to 315nm , it can produce the synthesis of vitamin ‘D’. which is necessary for proper bone development and maintenance. Sufficient vitamin ‘D’ to have eliminated the incidence of bone -related problem.

Reducing dental decay:


  • Lack of phosphorus and vitamin ‘D’ is the chief cause of ‘DENTAL DECAY’ or ‘DENTAL CARIES’. The phosphorus and vitamin ‘D’ are needed in order to prevent tooth decay. Phosphorus is needed in the saliva to enable this secretion to act as buffer solution , keeping enamel ,destroying acid from accumulating. So LED can easily reduce the problem of dental decay.
