LED architectural landscape lighting design should consider what?

LED landscape lighting design of buildings in the overall consideration of the following points is the first to confirm:

1 viewed in the direction

Buildings may be can be seen from different directions, angles, but generally begin before the design, we need to determine a particular direction as the direction of the main viewing.

2 distance

Perhaps most people viewing distance. The distances will affect people for the observation of the appearance of the facade of clarity, affect the level of illuminance decision.

3 Surroundings and background

Surroundings and background shading can affect the body the required illumination. If the surrounding is dark, you need a little light is sufficient to illuminate the subject; if the surrounding is very bright, the light will be able to highlight the need to strengthen the body.

LED landscape lighting in the building design, can be broadly divided into the following steps:

4 determine the desired lighting effects

Because of their different appearance of the building itself, which may produce different effects of light, or more uniform shading or strong; it can be relatively modest expression, or a more active expression, attributes are following the building itself to decide.

5 Select the appropriate source

Select the light source should be considered light color, color rendering, efficiency, life and other factors. Outer wall material and color of the light color of the equivalent of building relations, in general, BRIC, tawny stone is more suitable for use warm light irradiation using a light source of high pressure sodium lamps or halogen lamps.


The decision required illumination 6

Illuminance required depends on the brightness of the surrounding environment and building facade material depth of color, it is recommended illuminance values ​​for the main facade. In general, secondary illumination facade of the main facade of the half, both by light and dark surfaces can exhibit different three-dimensional structures.

7 Select the appropriate fixture

In general, spot light distribution angle line large square; circular lamps small angles; wide-angle lighting effect is more uniform, but not suitable for long-distance projection; narrow-angle lamp suitable for more distant projection but when you use close-uniformity is poor.

8 Number of illuminance and lighting calculation

After the above steps are completed, according to the illumination of the selected light source, lighting, installation location and other conditions of calculations to determine the number of lamps, in order to effect after completion of the installation as close as possible to the desired. Appearance of the building at night to take advantage of the light projection performance, feel and its resulting effect during the day there will be a considerable difference. Therefore, LED lighting engineering design, the resulting effect is not necessarily with the same effect during the day, it is important that the characteristics of the building shown.
