ABSTRACT: Areas far away or isolated from the windows, like rooms in centralised air conditioned buildings, can be illuminated with natural light during the daytime by using light pipes. However, depending on the weather condition, sometimes daylight coming from the light-pipe is not sufficient for illumination. During these times, when natural lighting is not adequate or more lighting is needed, artificial lighting is used. However, generally, all the artificial lighting components are operated together without considering the intensity ...
