6. LED APPLICATIONS6.1. The RIGHT LIGHT applicationsWe perceive the environment we live in mainly by eyesight. The eye as a sense organ provides us with up to 80% of allinformation. A good lighting is thus crucial. Today we have in our hands a lot of knowledge about what the lightingshould be like in relation to space, our needs and the internal biological processes which are triggered and controlledsubconsciously by its intensity. All of this knowledge can be transformed exactly into target parameters, easily capturedwith values and requirements pertaining:• illumination level and its evenness• harmonic distribution and balanced brightness ratio• light color temperature and light source quality related to color rendition• light flux directionAlong with the fundamental changes in the life of the human society and the geometrically increasing share of informationin our relationship with the surrounding world, the lighting also develops dynamically. The development of newlight sources and lighting fixtures takes advantage of modern technologies, new optical systems and materials, focuseson optimum efficiency and takes the environmental impact into account. Combined together, we defined ten basic applicationareas with specific requirements for lighting in order to ensure RIGHT LIGHT for given space:PRESENTATION AND RETAIL SHOP, SHOPPING MALLINDUSTRY AND ENGINEERING, OUTDOOR WORKPLACEOFFICE AND COMMUNICATIONHOTEL AND GASTROARCHITECTURE, FACADE, CITY MARKETING AND VISUAL PRESENTATIONROAD, PATH AND SQUAREHOUSE, FLAT AND LIVING AREAEDUCATION AND SCIENCEHEALTH AND CARESPORT, LEISURE AND WELLNESS6.2. Presentation and retail shop, shopping mallTraditional track luminaires, which are commonly installed in retails, light continuously. Their replacement by LED alternativeswill save huge amount of energy.Exact light distribution from LED luminaire visualizes every simple detail of goods. Game of light and shadows will revealsecrets of products to the customers – illuminance from several angles prevents product body to cast a shadow. Veryimportant function is illumination of large-area elements in shops. We attract attention by LED advertising boards, shootingvideo, and after that we focus customer interest on product by precisely aimed spot lights.High color rendering renders reality of goods better. LED light sources already offers color rendering index higher than90. With RGB LED-based luminaires we can change color of scenes inside the LED light source which enables us to skipcolor filters, which have to be used with traditional light sources.32 LED ACADEMY/LED APPLICATIONS
