Yasuko Koga, Masahiko Yamakawa, Potential Non-Image-Forming Visual Effects of Violet-LED and Blue-LED White Light Sources, Proc. of BalkanLight 2018, 17-21, 2018.06, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) contribute to non-image-forming visual effects of light in humans with inputs from rods and cones in the retinal circuit. Irradiance ratios for ipRGC and for photopic vision were defined with the ipRGC spectral sensitivity in CEN/TR 16791 and the photopic luminous efficiency, V(λ) respectively. From measurements of spectral irradiance, potential for inducing non-image-forming visual effects was evaluated for two types of phosphor-converted white LED light source, that is, a violet-LED excitation type and a blue-LED one. Chromaticity was adjusted to be as identical as possible between the two types. Irradiance ratio for ipRGC was almost the same between the two types having the same correlated colour temperature. This paper is an interim report on luminous properties of the two types of LED..

Photometric measurement and workers evaluation showed its advantages in spatial brightness, visibility and colour appearance. But, the need for glare control was found. The experiments demonstrated importance of lighting design with zoning of the container yard, appropriate specifications of the LED lights, and requirements for reliability of the trolley lights..

Yasuko Koga, Keisuke Yoshida, Yasufumi Shigetomi, Kazuhiro Hiyoshi, Kouki Zen, LED Crane Lighting to Hoist Sustainability of Container Terminals, Proc. of the 8th Lux Pacifica, Life and Lighting, 2018.03, In recent years, LED lighting has been introduced into port facilities to improve energy efficiency and to reduce energy and maintenance costs. This research work examined performance of LED lights for gantry crane lighting through experiments and subjective evaluations in a container terminal in operation. Measurement was done on illuminance and luminance distributions of the illuminated area, and vibrations that occurred when trolleys were moving. Questionnaire surveys were conducted with crane operators and relevant workers on the visual environment and workability. It was found that a narrow-angle type is suitable for the LED trolley lights to properly illuminate the task area. In wet weather, workers preferred a light colour of 3000 K for control of glare by reflection from wet surfaces. LED trolley lights should last a practical lifespan of 30 years or more. To meet this requirement, they should pass vibration testing in X, Y and Z axial directions under conditions of frequencies from 10 Hz to 500 Hz, the acceleration of 5 G and 10 sweep cycles, and shock testing downwards and upwards under conditions of the peak acceleration of 10 G, half sine shock with a 16-millisecond duration and 5000 pulses..

Yasuko Koga, Koichi Kitamura, Kazuki Miyashita, Masayuki Kimura, Quantitative Assessment of Perceptual Luminous Uniformity of OLED and LED Panels for Rear Lights, Proc. of the ISAL 2017, 2017.09, OLED lighting panels have a uniform and soft luminous appearance, whereas LED lights have a grainy luminous appearance without light diffusing measures. In contrast to red OLED rear lights, red LED rear lights tend to give irritating and discomfort impressions at dusk and night. Thinking that the soft luminous appearance of the OLED lights is due to their luminance evenness, this research work assessed the appearance of different lumi-nous panels including OLED and LED lighting panels. Luminance distributions of the luminous panels were estimated from their digital images and analysed using the spatial frequency analysis. Perceptual luminous uniformity or non-uniformity was read from power spectra at low spatial frequencies. This research work proposes the ratio of the average power in the range of low spatial frequencies to that in the range of middle spatial frequencies as an index of perceptual luminous uniformity..

Yasuko Koga, Keisuke Yoshida, Yasufumi Shigetomi, Tamotsu Ninomiya, Kazuhiko Egashira, Towards The New Generation of Lighting Design for Advanced Container Terminals, Proc. of CIE 2016 Lighting Quality and Energy Efficiency, 2016.03, In order to realize eco-friendly advanced container terminals, introduction of LED lighting is considered to be an effective measure. This research work conducted demonstrative experiments in a container yard in operation to assess effectiveness and reliability of high-powered LED luminaires and effects of LED lighting on cargo handling operations. Measurements and surveys proved that LED lighting improves working environments in comparison with conventional high-pressure sodium lighting. But, glare control was found to be an issue. The demonstrative experiments revealed that a new method of lighting design is necessary for efficient and effective lighting in advanced container terminals. This research work proposes a concept of diversified lighting. It comprises zoning of the container yard, proper use of high-mast lighting and illumination by cargo handling machines, and supplementary security lighting. It will achieve what is called the right light in the right place..
