Multiple optical parameters improvisation for outdoor sport lighting by t-test method

Abstract

The standard lighting design softwares are essentially calculating tools without any optimizing features. Use of these softwares lead to trial & error based iterative design approach. This however produces a set of interim design solutions consisting of appropriate or inappropriate design cases. In this paper, a statistical method, t-test, is successfully applied on these interim design solutions. Hence the list of Determinant Luminaires (DLs) and corresponding Optimized Aiming Angles (OAAs) are identified to enhance multiple optical parameters for the inappropriate design cases.
