Translucent lighting in architectural lighting design
Architectural lighting design is an important means to add "light" and "color" to buildings, and is an important part of architectural decoration design. As an engineering method, architectural lighting must follow the rules of architectural design and obey the functions of the building. In the process of architectural lighting, designers can use different lighting methods according to the characteristics of the building itself, and internal light-transmitting lighting is one of them.
1. Hidden lighting fixtures to reduce visual pollution of equipment
Generally, in places where external light-transmitting lighting is used, in order to obtain a uniform lighting surface, the installation location of light-transmitting lighting equipment should be as far away as possible from the main body of the building. It is a common way to set up light stands around the building. Moreover, in order to prevent these high-power, high-brightness floodlights from burning and electric shock to passers-by, the lamp holder must be higher than the height of an adult. In addition, floodlights installed on the walls of buildings, and even floodlights installed on other buildings or facilities, have a very difficult effect on the appearance of the building.
Therefore, how to hide lamps has become an important issue in lighting design. Of course, if the lamps can be "hidden" in the internal space of the building, it is undoubtedly a good choice.
2. Reduce light pollution
Whether it is on the ground or on the walls of the building itself, it is difficult to avoid glare interference on the building windows. At the same time, the bottom-up light is easily reflected to the sky through the walls and glass, causing light pollution to the sky and reducing the visibility of the night sky.
If the internal light is mainly used, not only the power of the light source itself is usually much smaller than that of outdoor lamps, but the light is strictly limited in a "hole", which is a lighting method with easy control of glare.
my country is a big power country, and the energy gap is very large. Every load peak month, strict restrictions on building facade lighting (landscape lighting, flood lighting) have become the basic means to ensure electricity for production and life. As a result, many architectural lighting equipment is forced to sit idle.
At the same time, because it is outdoors, the equipment is easily corroded by rain, dust or man-made damage. The indoor lighting is not restricted by the city's power supply, and maintenance is more convenient, and because the IP level of the lamps is low, the cost is relatively low.
In summary, the application of internal light transmission in the project can play a positive role in the lighting of building facades. The characteristics of internal translucent lighting are unique lighting effects, cost-saving, and easy maintenance. At night, light is transmitted from the inside to the outside, and a large number of windows form a bright luminous surface to decorate the night view of the building. The landscape is unique and vibrant.
