FLOODLIGHTING LUMINAIRE OPTICAL SYSTEM FOR EVEN SURFACE ILLUMINATION

Abstract

This article concerns object’s illumination (floodlighting), which is now becoming more common. The creation of the object’s illumination require the concept and the use of appropriate lighting equipment (luminaires) to realize the proposed concept. Commercially available luminaires for floodlighting purposes, are in fact conventional lighting devices used in many other applications such as lighting of external sites. These solutions are versatile, due to the reduction of production costs. Unfortunately, a deeper analysis of the effects of the use of such luminaires in floodlighting, led us to conclusion that this is not the best solution. Due to the specific conditions arising from the illumination of the object there is a need to modify the structure currently used solutions of the optical system of a typical luminaire to better meets the requirements of object’s illumination.
