螢光燈管光量及光譜計算式之建立

Equations for the Calculation of Light Level and Spectral Distribution of Fluorescent Lamps

人工光源的使用可讓栽培者較不受日光影響，免除了季節及地理上的限制因素；近幾年來在種苗與切花的栽培控制與花期調節的應用上均成效顯著，因此人工光源在未來的園藝生產上會越來越重要。本研究建立國內市售18種螢光燈管的基礎資料，將該等燈管在不同安裝高度下所能提供的光量子數、光能、照度與光譜資料予以量化。一則允許在不需量測儀器協助下即可進行估算，二則為後績的光環境設計電腦化工作建立基礎。光量子數、輻射能量值與照度值的計算式預測之準確度可有98.5%以上；當燈管安裝高度在60公分以下時，光譜計算式的準確度也在90%以上。

Artificial lighting allows the grower virtually independent of sunlight and so permits year-round crop raising in those parts of the world where this would otherwise be impossible. Noteable applications include the controlled production of seedlings and cuttings, and the forcing and delaying of flowering plants and shrubs. Artificial lighting will play a ever-increasing important role in future developments. Basic information of 1 8 locally commercially available fluorescent lamps were established in this study. The quantum, radiometric, photometric amount of light and the spectral distribution of light provided by a selected fluorescent lamp under a given mounting height were measured and related equations were developed. The purposes of developing these equations are twofolds. First, to provide a mean, without instruments, to quantify the amount of light provided by given lamps. Second, to prepare for the computerization of various fluorescent lamps' data aiming at the development of a computer software which is capable of predicting the light environemnt provided by selected types and assigned arrangement of lamps. The equations developed to predict the amount of light level and spectral distribution have the accuracy higher than 98.5 % and 90% , respectively.
