| Abstract |
The dome pendant prismatic luminaire is recently used in commercial and industrial high-bay applications where quality light levels and energy savings are imperative. In addition, it is satisfied with various luminous intensity distributions as well as??aesthetic designs. Despite these advantages, up to now, most of luminaire designers have only concentrated their attention on the design matters without optical consideration. Even if they know accurate optic a calculation process, it's difficult to produce prismatic luminaire with luminous intensity distribution required in a space, because the design process is made by much trial and error. The process is also required much time to design. μ-GA is one of the improved form of GA, which has been used to find an optimum solution, to reduce iteration and computing resources by using small populations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to introduce candlepower distribution model of dome pendant prism luminaire and to develope a design algorithm that is able to find an optimum design solution of the luminaire using??μ-GA. |
