| Abstract |
Lighting for gas station should be carefully designed with safety and visually attraction. Recent studies have shown that non-cutoff luminaires should not be used for gas station. duo to light pollution and energy waste. This paper aims to evaluate the luminous environment in gas station with non-cutoff luminaires. The CS-100 and Radiant Imaging Prometric-1400 were used to measure the luminance of building surface, canopy, ceiling and ground surface, The result shows that the whole luminance of various combination elements in gas station increases by rising the total luminaires of the canopy. All of the gas stations with non-cutoff luminaries produce light pollution. Some guidelines for outdoor lighting in gas station is necessary. |
