A considerable part of electrical power is consumed in lighting systems. Electrical power usage and, as a result, generation is proportional to CO emissions. CO emissions result in climate change. Many countries encouraged people to use modern light sources, including LEDs, to increase the efficiency of lighting systems. An LED, during its long life, is subjected to gradual degradation. Its degradation can be understood from its radiant flux decrement. Some standards, including LM 80-08, addressed this issue. Constant lumen output (CLO) drivers are used to deal with LED degradation issues. There is not much scientific research on the topic of CLO. This paper suggests a scientific approach to finding CLO's exact output voltage as a function of time during the LED lifetime, limiting energy consumption to the required value. Also, a method for finding the best time to replace LED luminaires to minimise the financial burden for the owners has been found. By optimising renewal time for LED luminaires, energy usage (CO emission) and end-of-life waste will be managed to the required value. In addition, for use in CLOs, the paper suggests adding more specified data to the LM 80-08 report.

Incorporating an illumination optimization plan into the worker safety management process in industrials is essential since the quality of workplace illumination has a significant impact on workers' well-being. The purpose of this study was to optimize illumination conditions in industrial workspaces using light-emitting diode (LED) technology with a color temperature of 6500 K and a CRI of 85 %. To accomplish this, the DIALux illumination simulation tool was utilized.

Visitors to Colter Bay Village in Grand Teton National Park were surveyed to elicit their evaluations of experimental outdoor lighting conditions. Luminaires capable of dimming and switching between two LED modules (white, blended red-white) were installed in street and parking areas. The blended red-white lamps consisted of 30 narrowband LED with a peak wavelength 623 nm and two 3000 K white LEDs.

This study presents a novel approach to enhancing indoor navigation in crowded multi-terminal airports using visible light communication (VLC) technology. By leveraging existing luminaires as transmission points, encoded messages are conveyed through modulated light signals to provide location-specific guidance. The objectives are to facilitate navigation, optimize routes, and improve system performance through Edge/Fog integration.

Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) has been identified as a primary driver of environmental change in the 21st century with key impacts on ecosystems. At the same time, developments of LED lighting systems with adjustable parameters-such as color temperature and light intensity-may provide an opportunity to mitigate the negative effects of ALAN. To test the potential effects of LED properties, we conducted a comprehensive field study over two summers at three forest sites in Switzerland.
