Effects of Luminaire Angle on Illumination Performance in Tunnel Lighting

Abstract

In this study, the effect of luminaire angle on the path parameters of tunnel lighting was investigated. Tunnel illumination was performed with a simulation program adapted to CIE 88-2004 standards. The lighting performance parameters were compared while the angle of the luminaire was 0°, 5°, 10° and 15°. According to the simulation results, the luminaire angle is 0 degrees and the highest efficiency is reached. As the luminaire angle increased, the yield decreased in direct proportion to the angle. The highest lighting efficiency was observed at 0 degrees and the lowest illumination efficiency was observed at 15 degrees. This problem can be overcome by using a higher power lamp in angled lighting. As a result, it is revealed that angled lighting should be avoided in highway and tunnel lighting.
