Development of high efficiency and eco-friendly LED source has been progressed continuously. Also, by nation's regulations, public institutions have changed existing luminaires to LED luminaires. However, there are several differences between existing luminaires and the intensity distribution of general planar LED luminaires. In case of changing existing luminaires to LED luminaires, by such differences, there are inefficiencies both quality aspect and energy aspect in luminous environment. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a study on the changes of intensity distribution and luminous environment by reflector shapes in indirect reflected LED luminaires with software for optical design of a luminaire (Photopia 2.0) and lighting design of a space (ReluxPro). This study shows the changes of intensity distribution and luminous environment of indirect reflected LED luminaires and indirect fluorescent lamp luminaires by reflector shapes.

Light is an environmental element which is essential for a man to live and do creative activities in residential area. Especially, modern people arc used to live under artificial light interior surroundings for much time. Currently, the average illumination level of the present apartment is improving, but it still does not reach the recommended level because the present apartment's luminous environment is only based on the life behavior which puts its priority to clear vision. Therefore, it is necessary that proper standard illumination must be used for various use and purpose. From this point of view, this paper investigated the essence of light in the residential area and the luminous environment for apartments was measured. This paper finally suggested well-coordinated lighting condition, derived from the measurement and analysis of luminous environment in these cases.

The influences of luminous environment on visual responses and fatigue sensation in art galleries were examined in this study. Field measurements and survey were performed in three galleries under various illuminance and luminous conditions. Result implies that vertical illuminance on art paintings needed to be somewhere between 200 lx and 300 lx to avoid visual discomfort. The vertical illuminance difference between consecutive paintings should not exceed 100 lx to keep visually comfortable environment. Visual comfort sensations were related to glare, visual stimulus, reflection from paintings, illuminance variation, and the sensation that subjects can clearly see the paintings. The sensation of fatigue was significantly influenced by the changes of luminous element that caused visual stimulus and discomfort. The sensation of eye fatigue among physical fatigue was primarily influenced by the glare, visual stimulus and comfort. The psychological fatigue was also influenced by eye fatigue, visual comfort, brightness and satisfaction with color of light.

The Qualitative improvements of outdoor spaces are unsatisfactory in comparison with that of indoor environment in existing apartments. Lately construction companies are differentiating the outdoor spaces of apartment complexes to meet needs of residents. However, high-rise buildings inherently have limitations on providing exposure to the outdoor settings and inappropriate lightings could have serious impacts on physical and psychological health of residents. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide useful information for the luminous environment of outdoor spaces through the analysis of current apartment complexes' lighting plans. Outdoor space of branded apartment complexes in Seoul, built after the year 2003, were researched. Through site visits, illumination level and lighting plans were investigated classified into entry area, passage area, plaza, rest area, exercise area, and play area. With the result, illumination level of apartment complexes researched was lower than KS illumination standard in all areas and the lighting plans were mostly shown in different condition of first intended lighting plan because of insufficiency of maintenance in lighting system. Therefore, it is need to provide better luminous environment to make outdoor space more lively and energetic at the night time.

Daylighting affects the luminous environment and provides comfortable environment to the occupants. However, excessive daylighting might have negative influences on the visual comfort. Skylight, light intensity and distribution, and insolation could cause glare effects on the occupants. This study analyzed the effect of fenestration on the interior glare effects, and verified luminous environment adjustability through mock up test of conventional fenestration and 'Convergence Window System' by analyzation of luminance, luminance contrast, and glare effect. Consequently, room installed Convergence Window System was improved luminance contrast and PGSV Level.

This paper is to find the difference of evaluation structure between a residential space and of ace work space and to examine a relation between mood item and behavior items on evaluation of the luminous environment. First 20 mood items md 15 behavior items were selected for evaluation item on the luminous environment. And then, subjective evaluation was experimented by the semantic differential method. The results are as follows: (1) In respect of evaluation un the mood both luminous environments that have each different character of space at evaluated by the three factors; activity, comfort and quality. (2) In respect of evaluation on the behavior, three factors, work, relaxation and entertainment are selected in the residential space and two factors, work and non-work are selected in the office work space. (3) In the residential space, activity is very important factor that affects on three behaviors, work, relaxation and entertainment. In the office work space, activity affects on work and quality affects on non-work.

As quality of life improves, apartment's residents prefer residing type that have differentiation of resident center. Accordingly, community facilities such as fitness club, swimming pool, and so on are operated in apartment complex. Community areas are important space that can induce inhabitantses' natural meeting and contact, and that can solve social problems which is started each individuals' estrangement in current through community formation between neighborhood. From this point of view, this paper investigated the essence of light and the luminous environment for community areas. This paper finally suggested well-coordinated lighting plan of community areas, derived from the measurement and analysis of luminous environment in these cases.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the present conditions of illumination techniques in dental clinics in order to contribute improvement of operating environment. This study also aimed exploring qualitative and quantitative luminous intensity required for color temperature in dental clinic illumination, which was a critical part of esthetic dentistry. Materials and methods: A total of forty-eight local dental clinics were selected for sampling a) luminous intensity, and b) color temperature. The author measured the luminous intensity and the color temperature with lux meter and color meter respectively between 12pm and 2pm. The dental unit chair placed in the general operation positions were kept the distance 60 cm then all dental units were measured three times and averaged. The author measured the luminous intensity and color temperature with both common dental operating light and then without operating light in different office environments. The study was conducted under three conditions: 1 artificial illumination in clear day light 2. artificial illumination in cloudy day light, and 3. artificial illumination alone. Results : The results obtained were as follows. 1. The average luminous intensity in dental clinic lighting was 425 lux which was not sufficient to produce the optimal shade of the patient's teeth. Furthermore, the average luminous intensity even in full operating lighting was 9532 lux which fell short of the required level of 10,000 lux. 2. The average color temperature of all dental clinics surveyed was 5169 K which met the optimal range. However, only 33.3% fell in the correct region between 5,000-5,500 K as 25% were over 5,500 K and 41.6% were below 5,000 K. As a result, 66.7% were under insufficient color temperature conditions. 3. The dental unit chair placed next to a window, hence exposure to natural lighting, had significantly higher luminous intensity and color temperature compared to the dental unit chair which didn't have a window or natural lighting. 4. The data analysis revealed that only 6.3% of the dental clinic were met the standard of the average luminous intensity and color temperature.
