  • Intro to Light Fixtures
    Intro to Light Fixtures IN THE BEGINNING PRIMITIVE LAMPS - (c 13,000 BC to 3,000 BC) Prehistoric man, used primitive lamps to illuminate his cave. These lamps, made from naturally occurring materials, such as rocks, shells, horns and stones, were filled with grease and had a fiber wick. Lamps typically used animal or vegetable fats as fuel. In the ancient civilizations of Babylonian and Egypt, light was a luxury. The Arabian Nights were far from the brilliance of today. The palaces of the wealthy were lighted only by flickering flames of simple oil lamps. These were usually in the form of small open bowls with a lip or spout to hold the wick. Animal fats, fish oils or vegetable oils (palm and olive) furnished the fuels. Early Developments Early Developments Rush lights: Candles: Tall, grass-like plant dipped in fat Most expensive candles made of beeswax Most common in churches and homes of nobility Snuffers cut the wick while maintaining the flame Early Developments Early Developments New Developments There was a need to improve the light several ways: 1. The need for a constant flame, which could me left unattended for a longer period of time 2. Decrease heat and smoke for interior use 3. To increase the light output 4. An easier way to replenish the source….thus, the development of gas and electricity 5. Produce light with little waste or conserve energy Page 1 Intro to Light Fixtures Industrial Revolution - Europe Gas lamps developed: London well known for gas lamps Argand Lamp Eiffel Tower (1889) originally used gas lamps The Argand burner, which was introduced in 1784 by the Swiss inventor Argand, was a major improvement in brightness compared to traditional open-flame oil lamps.

As Ludwig Wittgenstein wisely said “knowledge in the end is based on acknowledgement”. Hence, writing this dissertation would be meaningless without thanking everyone who has contributed to it in one way or the other. First and foremost, my thanks are due to my advisor Dr. Franky So, without whose guidance and encouragement none of this work would have been possible. He has been a great advisor and has always been patient through the long paths of struggle finally leading towards significant results. This work is a fruit born out of many stimulating discussions with Dr. So and my group members Jaewon Lee, Kaushik Roy Choudhury, Doyoung Kim, Dongwoo song, Cephas Small, Alok Gupta, Galileo Sarasqueta, Jegadesan Subbiah, Mike Hartel, Mikail Shaikh, Song Chen, Pieter De Somer, Verena Giese, Daniel S.

  • Study of Lighting Systems for Safety Bicycle Rides
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on ADVANCES in ENGINEERING EDUCATION A. Sivert, F Betin, B. Vacossin, Ph. Dondon Innovative sustainable development teaching at university: Study of lighting systems for safety bicycle rides (1) A. SIVERT1, F BETIN1, B. VACOSSIN1, Ph. DONDON2 (1) Institut Universitaire de Technologie de l’Aisne Département Génie Electrique SOISSONS Laboratory for Innovative Technologies (L.T.I), Team Energy Electric and Associated System (2) Université de Bordeaux, IPB Av Dr A. Schweitzer 33405 Talence Abstract: Numerous countries are nowadays trying to reduce pollution in the cities, in particular noise and CO2 emission. New alternating means of transportation (other than cars) are now encouraged. Bicycle is one of those. However, one of the key points for promoting bicycles downtown is safety rides whatever the traffic and weather conditions. In that way, lighting systems are mandatory to been seen and to see correctly. Unfortunate- ly, reliable technical data is missing. Only a very few commercial data is available on retailer’s web site or in specialized shops. So, in this paper, we propose firstly a didactical scientific “cooking guide” for students, teachers and bicycle users, who want to choose and design their own lighting based on LEDs (light-emitting diode). Optical, thermal, electronic and power management aspects are discussed. And a set of basic answers to the following questions is provided: What is a simple way of measuring brightness? How does one choose an LED and its optics according to the desired lighting? How is the performance of an LED checked? How does one choose a heatsink? How is the regulation of one or more LEDs managed? Secondly, our didactical experi- ence and feed-back of student’s groups in our electrical department is reported and discussed.

Thompson Chair of Committee Dimitri Pappas Carol L. Korzeniewski Dominick Casadonte Interim Dean of the Graduate School August, 2013 Copyright 2013, Lulu Ma Texas Tech University, Lulu Ma, August 2013 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Thompson for his guidance and encouragement throughout the past 4 years in Texas Tech University. His profound knowledge, diligence and patience encouraged me and has setup a great example for me in the future. I also thank to Dr. Pappas and Dr. Korzeniewski for their help and for taking time as my committee members. I also would like to thank Dr. Ted Zobeck for his help on soil dust measurements and soil sample collection and also Dr. P. Buseck and his lab for TEM analysis. My group members: Hao Tang, Fang Qian, Kathy Dial, Haley Redmond, Yiyi Wei, Tingting Cao, and Qing Zhang, also helped me a lot in both daily life, and research. At last, I would like to thank my parents and friends for their love and continuous encouragement and support. ii Texas Tech University, Lulu Ma, August 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS……………………………………………………………….ii ABSTRACT ……………………………………………………………………………..vi LIST OF TABLES …………………………………………………………………….viii LIST OF FIGURES……………………………………………………..………………ix LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ………………………………………….………………xi I.

  • Commentary Kerosene-Based Lighting: an Overlooked Source of Exposure to Household Air Pollution?
    Feature: Air quality challenges in low-income settlements Commentary Kerosene-based lighting: an overlooked source of exposure to household air pollution? Ariadna Curto 1,2,3, Cathryn Tonne 1,2,3 1Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), Barcelona, Spain 2Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona, Spain 3CIBER Epidemiología y Salud Pública (CIBERESP), Barcelona, Spain https://doi.org/10.17159/caj/2020/30/1.8420 Access to affordable, reliable, modern and sustainable energy is prolonged periods, resulting in high levels of inhaled pollutants one of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set (i.e. more mass inhaled per mass emitted). An experimental by the United Nations for 2030. However, estimates indicate that study in Kenya estimated that night kiosk vendors can inhale progress towards that goal is not on track: 650 million people 1560 µg of fine particles per day emitted by kerosene lamps worldwide are estimated to remain without access to electricity alone (Apple et al., 2010). Relatively few studies have attempted in 2030 (IEA, IRENA, UNSD, WB, WHO, 2019). Nine out of ten of to quantify the contribution of kerosene-based lighting to these people will live in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), mostly in rural particle exposure in populations in SSA. We previously reported communities, which face barriers in terms of affordability and that kerosene-based lighting was the strongest determinant supply. of 24-h average and peak personal exposure to black carbon among women living in a semi-rural area of Mozambique (Curto Without access to affordable and reliable clean energy to et al., 2019). Women who used kerosene as the primary source meet daily cooking, lighting, and heating needs, individuals of lighting had 81% and 93% higher average and peak personal rely on inefficient fuels and technologies that give rise to black carbon exposure, respectively, than those using electricity.
