Purpose. Substantiation and creation of automatic lighting control in interactive rooms using piezoelectric converters. The introduction of this technology will significantly reduce energy consumption during the operation of such premises. The addition of further technological solutions based on the use of phosphor coatings and ultraviolet lighting will create a full range of innovative methods of child interaction in the social space.Methodology. The combination of piezo sensors with design elements such as "live" tiles as a trigger mechanism will create the necessary connection between the physical activity of the child and the regulation of light. The modern level of development and complete safety of materials such as phosphors in combination with specially designed point light sources will make it possible to create additional lighting and a field for the imagination of the child. Since the main attention when lighting children's rooms should be directed to the safe stay of the child, the use of light sources under a translucent floor will solve safety issues with a low level of energy consumption.Findings. An experimental study of the methods has proven the feasibility of using the proposed elements for any interactive children's room. The low cost of both equipment and the energy efficiency of all the technologies used is a significant advantage of this project over other developments with a large use of digital gadgets. The ability of create light of different spectral composition and color temperature is analyzed by using color filters and special light sources.Originality. The technologies and techniques presented in this work will be used for the first time to create interactive activities for a child. Separately, each technological solution was applied individually. This project combines separate developments to create a single interactive and light space. A low level of electricity consumption is achieved by using specially designed piezoelectric elements. Replacing standard ceiling lighting with lower (floor) lighting allows you to achieve the desired illumination using luminaires of lower power.Practical value. Recently, it has been proven that digitalization has a negative impact on the emotional state of the child and the only solution to replace it is to switch the child's attention to other more physically active actions. The proposed solutions in the work will allow their to be involved in group trainings. At the same time, the power consumption for obtaining such rooms will be much lower than the rest of the existing ones. The simplicity of the equipment and the possibility of variation during the operation of the premises make it available for creation in any institution of education, medicine, sports, etc.

Consideration is given to the possibility of using LED light sources with different ratios of red (650 - 660 nm), orange (600 - 610 nm) and blue (440 - 450 nm) light in the light flux in the rooting stage of garden strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa(Duch. ex Weston) Duch. ex Rozier) grownin vitro. The study covered a sizable diversity of strawberry cultivars (selected from thein vitrocollection): ‘Borovitskaya’, ‘Vityaz’, ‘Zenga Zengana’, ‘Khoney’, ‘Tsaritsa’, ‘Kubata’, ‘Dukat’, ‘Marmalada’, ‘Valenta’, ‘Rusich’, ‘Krasavitsa Zagorya’, ‘Neznakomka’ and ‘Roksana’, thus ensuring quite diversified results. It was established that the use of LED sources with an increased content of red light in the light flux increased the rooting percentage (1.15-1.25 times) and the number of roots per one microcutting (1.29-1.77 times) inin vitroculture, as compared with fluorescent lamp lighting. It was observed that with different spectral compositions of light the rooting ability of microcuttings was cultivar-specific.

The article analyses critera applying to the choice of energy efficient high quality light sources and luminaires, which are used in Russian domestic and international practice. It is found that national standards GOST P 54993–2012 and GOST P 54992– 2012 contain outdated criteria for determining indices and classes of energy efficiency of light sources and luminaires. They are taken from the 1998 EU Directive #98/11/EU “Electric lamps”, in which LED light sources and discharge lamps of high intensity were not included. A new Regulation of the European Union #874/2012/EU on energy labelling of electric lamps and luminaires, in which these light sources are taken into consideration, contains a new technique of determining classes of energy efficiency and new, higher classes are added. The article has carried out a comparison of calculations of the energy efficiency classes in accordance with GOST P 54993 and with Regulation #874/2012/EU, and it is found out that a calculation using GOST P 54993 gives underrated energy efficiency classes. This can lead to interdiction of export for certain light sources and luminaires, can discredit Russian domestic manufacturer light sources and does not correspond to the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Turkey is rich in terms of renewable energy sources and, therefore, is now encouraging the use of sustainable clean lighting systems in road applications. High pressure sodium lamp is the most widely used type in main roads, but other types of lamps such as mercury vapour lamps or metal halide lamps can be utilized for street lighting. Since it enables energy and money saving, LED light technology has replaced high pressure sodium lamps nowadays. Once solar power system (PV) is integrated with LED lamp for street lighting, the amount of saving and local impact might be enriched. LEDs used as light sources in road lighting luminaires with rising lumen values, decreasing junction temperature, higher colour rendering efficiency, longer lifetime have become more efficient than many light sources with the latest developments. Since the structure of the luminaires in which the LED light sources are used differs from that of the conventional light sources, the optical, thermal and electrical design of the LED luminaires must be considered differently. Thus, this study concentrates upon design considerations and the operating principle of solarpowered LED road lighting luminaire in details. Also, a simple solar panel system was designed and the economical values obtained at the end of 20 years were compared when using the ongrid system and the off-grid system.

Electric appliances for cooling and lighting are responsible for most of the increase in electricity consumption in Karachi, Pakistan. This study aims to investigate the impact of passive energy efficiency measures (PEEMs) on the potential reduction of indoor temperature and cooling energy demand of an architectural campus building (ACB) in Karachi, Pakistan. PEEMs focus on the building envelope’s design and construction, which is a key factor of influence on a building’s cooling energy demand. The existing architectural campus building was modeled using the building information modeling (BIM) software Autodesk Revit. Data related to the electricity consumption for cooling, building masses, occupancy conditions, utility bills, energy use intensity, as well as space types, were collected and analyzed to develop a virtual ACB model. The utility bill data were used to calibrate the DesignBuilder and EnergyPlus base case models of the existing ACB. The cooling energy demand was compared with different alternative building envelope compositions applied as PEEMs in the renovation of the existing exemplary ACB. Finally, cooling energy demand reduction potentials and the related potential electricity demand savings were determined. The quantification of the cooling energy demand facilitates the definition of the building’s electricity consumption benchmarks for cooling with specific technologies.

Light causes damage when it is absorbed by sensitive artwork, such as oil paintings. However, light is needed to initiate vision and display artwork. The dilemma between visibility and damage, coupled with the inverse relationship between color quality and energy efficiency, poses a challenge for curators, conservators, and lighting designers in identifying optimal light sources. Multi-primary LEDs can provide great flexibility in terms of color quality, damage reduction, and energy efficiency for artwork illumination. However, there are no established metrics that quantify the output variability or highlight the trade-offs between different metrics. Here, various metrics related to museum lighting (damage, the color quality of paintings, illuminance, luminous efficacy of radiation) are analyzed using a voxelated 3-D volume. The continuous data in each dimension of the 3-D volume are converted to discrete data by identifying a significant minimum value (unit voxel). Resulting discretized 3-D volumes display the trade-offs between selected measures. It is possible to quantify the volume of the graph by summing unique voxels, which enables comparison of the performance of different light sources. The proposed representation model can be used for individual pigments or paintings with numerous pigments. The proposed method can be the foundation of a damage appearance model (DAM).

In the case of light-emitting diode (LED) seaport luminaires, they should be designed in consideration of glare, average illuminance, and overall uniformity. Although it is possible to implement light distribution through auxiliary devices such as reflectors, it means increasing the weight and size of the luminaire, which reduces the feasibility. Considering the special environment of seaport luminaires, which are installed at a height of 30 m or more, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the device, facilitate replacement, and secure a light source with a long life. In this paper, an optimized lens design was investigated to provide uniform light distribution to meet the requirement in the seaport lighting application. Four types of lens were designed and fabricated to verify the uniform light distribution requirement for the seaport lighting application. Using numerical analysis, we optimized the lens that provides the required minimum overall uniformity for the seaport lighting application. A theoretical analysis for the heatsink structure and shape were conducted to reduce the heat from the high-power LED light sources up to 250 W. As a result of these analyses on the heat dissipation characteristics of the high-power LED light source used in the LED seaport luminaire, the heatsink with hexagonal-shape fins shows the best heat dissipation effect. Finally, a prototype LED seaport luminaire with an optimized lens and heat sink was fabricated and tested in a real seaport environment. The light distribution characteristics of this prototype LED seaport luminaire were compared with a commercial high-pressure sodium luminaire and metal halide luminaire.
