There are several technological problems have to be resolved for LEDs to be used as a general purpose light source. In addition, there are several differences between existing luminaires and the general planer LED luminaire for the intensity distribution. Therefore, the optical engineer then faces the challenging a problem of designing for a spatially extended and non-uniform light source. In the previous studies on the optical design of luminaires, a lot of studies on reflectors and light source have been conducted but the ones on prisms and lenses are insufficient at present. This study developed the numerical model of planar prism LED luminaire to control luminous intensity distribution of LED luminaires. And this study presents an optical calculation process for the prism optical design of a planar prism LED luminaire and a comparison of the simulation results between the developed numerical model and Photopia 2.0 to verify the accuracy of the numerical model. In addition, this study showed a method for the control of various luminous intensity distribution from the developed numerical model.

By measuring intensity distribution, it is possible to calculate all of optical characteristics of luminaire, and through it we are able to realize lighting design. On developing goniometer, development of software for analyzing and measuring of optical characteristics is needed. Software developed now by our lab. contains very useful functions to analyze optical characteristics of luminaire. Also in lighting design it can provide scientific verification of solution for fundamental issues, furthermore in lighting calculation it would be able to contribute toward providing one of the standards.

The prismatic luminaire named as a dome pendent is considered to save energy and improve visibility. This luminaire is using prismatic rome, and is designed to be used in commercial and industrial high-bay applications where quality light levels and energy savings are imperative. Although this kind of luminaire needs an accurate optic calculation process, the lumanires are manufactured without such a process. Therefore the purpose of this study is to develop a numerical model to accurately predict luminous intensity distribution of luminaire with prism.

In this paper, tried to find out the proper luminous intensity distribution for the cabin with low-level height by analyzing the changing tendency of discomfort glare according to luminous intensity distribution of marine indoor luminaires using Unified Glare Rating(UGR). First, we analyzed UGR of the indoor luminaires in the existing cabin, and then evaluated influence on luminous intensity distributions of marine indoor luminaire. The results showed that $cos^2{\Theta}$ distribution got almost low UGR results regardless of height and UGR 16.5 in cabin height of 2m. However, Gaussian distribution with the same beam angle showed that UGR results consistently increased by getting lower height and UGR 20.7 in the same height. In conclusion, the $cos^2{\Theta}$ distribution in consideration of luminous intensity on the direction of observer's eye was appropriate for general cabin indoor luminaires because it decreased UGR in the low-level height.

We studied prism design method for actual light source that have bulk in order to accomplish particular intensity distribution. When we know incidence angle and try to send ray to given direction, numerical formula that yields prism vertical angle, and then vertical angles were calculated sequentially. After analyzing problem that supposing to point light source, supplemented this and derived applicable prism design method on bulk light source. The intensity distribution and efficiency that came out by each design results were compared and analyzed, we got improved results through supplemented design method.

The problems of light pollution first became an issue in the 1970s when astronomers identified the degradation of the night sky due to the increase in lighting associated with development and growth. As more impacts to the environment by lighting have been identified, many attempts have been made for reducing light pollutions. To prevent light pollution and increase energy efficiency, Seoul Metropolitan Government(SMG) replaced metal halide road lighting to LED luminaire in four arterial highway in Seoul. The present study compared the lighting characteristics of metal halide and LED luminaire in terms of Korea Standard for road lighting(KS A 3701) and BUG rating from Illuminating Engineering Society of North America(IESNA). The results showed that LED luminaire increased road surface luminance up to 2 times in average compared to the metal halide environment. Also, LED luminaire reduced the glare value by 2 times and luminous flux over 50% than the metal halide luminaire. In comparison with the BUG ratings, LED luminaire rated 1 degree lower for the backlight ratings and 3-4 degrees lower for the uplight ratings. The measured values testified that the LED luminaire is effective for roadway lighting and light pollution reduction.

Recently, the eletrodeless lamp is introduced as a new light source of a high efficacy and long life. Although eletrodeless lamp's size is large, most of them is applied to general luminaire for HID lamps. It causes to decrease eletrodeless lamp's efficacy. Therefore, refractor luminaires can be an option to maintain efficacy, so that reflector luminaires are developed for such lamps. The purpose of this study is to develope a optical numerical model of planar prism luminaire that is able to obtain various luminous intensity distributions.

We need to how about activity types, lighting conditions and physical features in a plate that is a object for the reasonable and economic lighting design. Thus, lighting designer analyzes spare features and completes lighting design by using luminaire that has a suitable luminous intensity distribution. There are special data in this study from analysing about activity types, lighting conditions and physical features of intelligent buildings that are getting an essential infrastructure in the information society. Intelligent building could be classified with office space, passing space, high ceiling space, one-side working space for the analysis. Also, four luminous intensity distributions and fluorescent fixtures, which are the mutt used luminaires in office building, are designed from the data of intelligent building.

The purpose of this study is to propose a simulation approach which compares lighting quality of each luminaire type for small urban park users' safety. For improving illumination quality, lighting intensity distribution of a luminaire is one of the important factors and it is also important to set the luminaire to a proper position. To achieve the best plan for illumination, it is most important to communicate the plan with designers of park and professional engineers in depth and the communication continues from the beginning of the plan.

Development of light sources has been constantly grown after incandescent lamps had been invented by Thomas Edison. Recently, the eletrodeless lamp is introduced as a new light source of a high efficacy and long life. But, despite of such advantages, luminaires of electrodeless lamps are not widely used. It is necessary to develope the design of the luminaire together with light source development. In this paper, design algorithm of the luminaire that is adaptable to electrodeless lamp and use Genetic Algorithm as a optimization method to find luminous intensity distribution required is introduced.
