TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Optical design of tunnel lighting with white light-emitting diodes JO - Applied optics (2004) A1 - Tsai, Ming-Shiou A1 - Lee, Xuan-Hao A1 - Lo, Yi-Chien A1 - Sun, Ching-Cherng SP - H114 EP - H120 VL - 53 IS - 29 N2 - This paper presents a tunnel lighting design consisting of a cluster light-emitting diode and a free-form lens. Most of the energy emitted from the proposed luminaire is transmitted onto the surface of the road in front of drivers, and the probability that that energy is emitted directly into drivers' eyes is low. Compared with traditional fluorescent lamps, the proposed luminaire, of which the optical utilization factor, optical efficiency, and uniformity are, respectively, 44%, 92.5%, and 0.72, exhibits favorable performance in energy saving, glare reduction, and traffic safety.
