Problems with the Use of LED Luminaries at Control Rooms

The physiological and psychological condition of the operators in control rooms is a very important factor due to the non-interruptible working process. Improper ergonomic conditions may lead to operator's fatigue. The lighting design is one of the most important ergonomic factors and it shall be always taken into account in design of control rooms. The recent tendencies for application of LED luminaires in all fields of lighting design have to be valued for this kind of working places. This paper represents recommendations for lighting design of electrical power facilities control rooms, based on modeling and measurement of the perceived radiation of operators in different visual situations and tasks. Conclusions are made based on the obtained results from the modeling and the experimental results.
