A study on selecting of Light Cutoff Panel depending on the installation condition using the lighting simulation

The use of security lighting that emits spill light is considered a cause of light trespass problems in the residential areas. Therefore, a cutoff panel was installed as an alternative way to reduce light trespass. On the other hand, it has another problem in that it is less effective and is not good enough for aesthetics and safety. In this study, a light cutoff panel was designed and manufactured to reduce the light trespass, and the structure of a proper light cutoff panel was studied. Using a goniophotometer, the light distribution file (IES file) was extracted and the characteristics of light distribution were analyzed using the RELUX program. The results showed that the reduction of spilt light in the backward direction was decreased significantly for all types of light cutoff panels except the coated globe. In the case of a black powder coated light cutoff panel, the forward light caused by light reflected from the surface of the light cutoff panel was also reduced, which means that the black powder coated light cutoff panel is effective in the performance of light cutoff in the forward and backward directions. In addition, the coated glove increased the spilt light in the forward and backward directions because it reflects the upward light to go down. A 90 % accuracy between the measurement value of light trespass and the expected value of the light trespass was obtained from a simulation.

조명 시뮬레이션을 이용한 설치 환경별 차광판 선정에 관한 연구

도로조명 중 누출광을 고려하지 않은 보안등이 아직도 많이 사용되어 주거지 침입광이 발생되고 있다. 이러한 도로조명의 침입광 저감을 위해 차광판이 설치되고 있지만, 효과가 미미하거나 미적 요소 및 안전성에 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 침입광 효율적인 저감을 위해 차광판 구조별 저감 특성을 연구하였으며, 그 방법으로 조명시뮬레이션 프로그램인 Relux 활용하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션의 값의 정확성을 알기 위해 실제 측정값과 검증하였다. 그 결과 (상)도색 글로브를 제외한 모든 차광판에서 후사광 저감 효과가 뛰어났으며, 도장형 차광판의 경우 전사광도 줄어들어 글레어 저감도 효율 적인 것으로 확인되었다. (상)도색 글로브는 위쪽으로 가는 빛을 아래로 반사시켜 후사광 전사광 모두 증가하였지만, 스카이 글로우(Sky glow) 저감에 효율적인 차광판으로 확인되었다. 시뮬레이션 값과 실측값은 90 %의 일치률을 보였다.
