What factors should be considered in the design of lighting for special applications?
The design of special application lighting needs to be customized according to different scenarios and needs to achieve the best lighting effect and user experience. Some key elements need to be coordinated, including lighting requirements, light source selection, light source design, controllable system, safety and environmental protection.
- lighting requirement：The design of special application lighting first needs to consider the application scenario and user needs, such as the need to consider lighting brightness, color temperature, color, light uniformity, reflection and refraction, and other factors.
- light source selection： Different light sources have different characteristics, including spectrum, light efficiency, life, stability, and so on. Need to choose the right light source according to the lighting needs, such as LED, halogen lamp, fluorescent lamp, xenon lamp, etc
- light source design： Optical design includes the structural design of lamps, the design of optical lenses and reflectors, etc., which need to consider the concentration and diffuse reflection of light, the Angle and direction of light, paraboloid and aspherical surface and other factors to achieve the best lighting effect
- controllable system： The control system includes lighting controllers, sensors, communication equipment, etc., which needs to achieve accurate control and management of lighting fixtures to meet different application requirements.
- safety and environmental protection： Special application lighting design also needs to consider safety and environmental protection issues, such as explosion-proof, waterproof, dustproof and other special requirements, as well as energy consumption and waste disposal and other environmental issues.

More importantly, providing proper visual comfort by the anti-ligature fixtures is necessary for psychiatric hospitals, which can create a relaxed ambiance through the appropriate light color temperature change to prevent or reduce increased anxiety in individuals and make them feel more while receiving treatment at mental health. Its design follows the HCL theory. (Human-centred lighting has emerged to provide lighting conditions in harmony with the biological clock)
