Interior Lighting of a Historical Building by Using LED Luminaires: A Case Study of Fatih Paşa Mosque
Serhat Berat Efe, Derman Varhan
Abstract
In this study, a place of worship lighting in accordance with CIE standards was examined. Halogen lamps were used in the place of worship lighting, which was physically applied. Halogen lamp lighting and LED illuminated place of worship environment were compared in terms of luminance level and economic cost in a simulation environment. The illumination level should be 100 lx or above for places of worship according to CIE standards. Lighting using LED lamps, which provide 100 lx illuminance levels, has yielded 85 % more efficient results than illumination by halogen lamps.
