A Study of"China Illuminating Engineering Journal"based on CiteSpace Knowledge GraphAbstract:As a highly recognized and professional academic journal in China's lighting field,the"China Illuminating Engineering Journal(CIEJ)"accurately reflects the research focus and development trends of the industry.However,systematic reviews and discussions of its publication content remain limited,making it difficult to fully understand its evolution as an influential industry journal and its correlation with industry development.This study employs CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric analysis of CIEJ from its official launch in 1992 to 2024 and for the past decade(2015-2024),examining aspects such as column classification,publication volume,keywords,publishing institutions,and comparison with other industry journals.The results indicate:(1)Column classification shows high consistency with industry development trends and research hotspots;(2)Publication volume exhibits four development stages-steady growth,rapid growth,stable development,and slow decline-closely associated with broader social development contexts;(3)Keywords can be categorized into three phases:foundational exploration,technological evolution,and scenario applications,reflecting a progression from basic research to specialized application fields;(4)Leading research institutions are universities,research institutes,design companies,laboratories,and government agencies,with distinct characteristics across the two timeframes;(5)Compared with other domestic lighting journals,CIEJ demonstrates advantages in influence,comprehensiveness,and diversity,while lighting-related research still has significant growth potential within architecture-focused journals.This study aims to discuss industry changes based on publication characteristics across two temporal scales and to map the representation of various elements throughout the journal's evolution,providing methodological and content-based references for future research.
Analysis of Shift Nurses' Physical and Mental Health Status and Lighting Requirements in Nurse StationsAbstract:Frequent and long-term shift work for nurses can disrupt normal biological rhythms,inducing rhythm disorders,endocrine imbalances,and emotional problems,which in turn lead to a decrease in clinical work performance and patient safety.Light,as the most important zeitgeber,is an effective means to intervene in the biological clock and improve sleep quality.To understand the physical and mental health status of shift nurses and the current lighting environment and needs of nurse stations,this study conducted on-site measurements of the lighting environment in 13 nurse stations and a questionnaire survey on the sleep quality,sleepiness,fatigue,mood,and lighting environment preferences of 493 shift nurses.The results showed that the horizontal illuminance at the work surface in nurse stations was generally insufficient,the physiological equivalent illuminance was insufficient during the day and too high at night,and the lighting scenes lacked dynamic changes,which were difficult to meet the physical and mental health needs of nurses.The questionnaire survey showed that the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score of shift nurses was 8.14±4.05,indicating poor overall sleep quality and shift-related sleep problems.There were statistically significant differences in sleep quality and shift-related sleep problem scores among nurses on different shifts(day shift-mid shift-night shift-rest)(P<0.05),with the worst sleep quality after the night shift.60.00%of the nurses had anxiety symptoms,and 46.70%had depressive symptoms.The total fatigue score of shift nurses was 52.43±11.66,with the main fatigue periods being 2:00-6:00 a.m.,11:00-12:00 p.m.,and 12:00-14:00 p.m.The lighting uniformity in nurse stations was insufficient,and there were glare problems,and lighting had a significant impact on their sleep,mood,and fatigue.68.70%of the nurses hoped that the color temperature and brightness of the lighting in nurse stations could change dynamically.In the future,dynamic lighting parameters should be designed for different shifts to obtain a combination of lighting parameters that takes into account both visual function and physical and mental health needs,providing a reference for the design and application of a healthy lighting environment in nurse stations in China.

Hierarchical and Zonal Dispatch Strategy for Distributed Source-Load-Storage Systems in Smart Cities:Toward 5G Smart PolesAbstract:With the rapid advancement of smart city development,5G smart poles have been widely deployed as a new type of multifunctional infrastructure;however,the increasing number of integrated devices has led to growing challenges in load fluctuation and energy coordination.To enhance both the economic efficiency and operational security of such systems,this paper proposes a hierarchical and zonal dispatch strategy for source-load-storage systems oriented toward 5G smart poles.First,a three-level control architecture-comprising city-level coordination,district-level aggregation,and terminal-level regulation—is established to form a hierarchical and zonal cooperative operational framework for smart cities.Second,taking typical urban functional areas as scheduling units,an integrated source-load-storage modeling framework is constructed for 5G smart pole clusters that incorporate photovoltaics,electric vehicles and charging piles,lighting equipment,5G communication base stations,and multiple types of energy storage.Third,on the basis of a unified operational cost function,regional characteristics and operational weight factors are introduced to develop a cross-regional coordinated optimization model that balances economic performance and operational security.Finally,case studies on representative residential,commercial,and industrial districts in Jiangsu Province demonstrate that the proposed strategy achieves strong adaptability,economic efficiency,and safety across diverse scenarios,providing essential technical support for the efficient management of distributed energy systems in smart cities.
Study on the Influence of Media Façade Characteristics on Text DisplayAbstract:In recent years,media façades,with their intuitive information delivery and strong visual impact,have profoundly reshaped the urban nighttime image and have become an important element of urban landscape lighting,being widely used for advertising and information dissemination.However,due to limitations in the architectural structure and lighting configuration of media façades,some displayed text suffers from poor legibility,which affects the effectiveness of information transmission.Therefore,understanding the influence of media façade characteristics on text display is of great significance for the operation,management,and regulation of media façades.Accordingly,this study investigates media façade types,structural characteristics,lighting configurations,and lighting parameters to identify typical forms of media façades.On this basis,experiments on text legibility and subjective comfort of media façades were conducted to evaluate the effects of typical media façade characteristics and luminance on text display.The results show that viewing distances greater than 500 m allow text to be identified more clearly;the greater the viewing distance,the easier the text is to recognize and the more comfortable the visual perception.Higher luminance contrast facilitates text recognition.When more than 12 light strips are used for text presentation,basic legibility requirements can be met.Under the same light strip spacing,a vertical light source arrangement provides better display performance than a horizontal arrangement.
A Review on Lighting Requirements and Smart Technologies for Eye Surgery PatientsAbstract:The postoperative lighting needs of ophthalmic surgery patients differ greatly from healthy individuals.Studies show patients commonly have increased light sensitivity and reduced glare tolerance after surgery,with needs varying by surgery type and age.Traditional fixed lighting cannot meet individual needs,while smart lighting provides better solutions by adjusting light intensity,color temperature,and spectrum.New technologies like light-adjustable lenses and low-level light therapy expand treatment options.With rising global eye surgery rates,personalized lighting strategies are important for better patient recovery.This review covers recent advances in postoperative lighting management,discusses key mechanisms and applications,identifies research gaps,and provides guidance for future clinical practice.
Comparative Analysis of Definitions,Component Classifications and Illuminance in Emergency Lighting Standards of China and AbroadAbstract:A comparative study of domestic and international emergency lighting standards can intuitively reveal the breadth,depth,and key focuses of existing standards in this field,thereby providing references for the future improvement of emergency lighting standards.This paper selects representative standards and relevant documents in the field of emergency lighting at home and abroad,and conducts a comparative analysis of the definitions,component classifications,and corresponding core illuminance indicators of emergency lighting across different standards.The literature search covers two major categories of emergency lighting standards:those for indoor and outdoor building environments.The results indicate that emergency lighting-related standards based on different technical routes and perspectives exhibit discrepancies in the definition and component classification of emergency lighting.Furthermore,most of the current global regulations on illuminance indicators in emergency lighting standards are limited to indoor building scenarios,with rare provisions on illuminance indicators for outdoor emergency lighting.For indoor building emergency lighting standards,the core illuminance indicators primarily focus on horizontal evacuation illuminance,while provisions on illuminance indicators for vertical evacuation are relatively scarce.However,a small number of outdoor vertical evacuation illuminance indicators that can be used for reference have been proposed in other non-emergency lighting standards.The study suggests that the definitions,classifications,and indicators of different types of emergency lighting standards should be unified,and the standardization research on indoor and outdoor vertical evacuation emergency lighting should be strengthened.
Research on Healthy Lighting Spectra Integrating"Visual-Non-Visual"EffectsAbstract:In recent years,healthy lighting technology has garnered widespread attention.Research has shown that light not only affects human visual perception but also significantly influences circadian rhythms,emotional regulation,and overall health.Based on a commercial LED spectral database,this study proposes and validates optimized four-channel and five-channel spectral base schemes.Using a multi-color mixing algorithm,optimal spectral combinations were selected,and their performance in color rendering index(Ra),circadian regulation capability(melanopic/photopic ratio,m/p ratio range),and Luminous Efficacy of Radiation(LER)was systematically evaluated.The results demonstrate that,within the common Correlated Color Temperature(CCT)range of 1 800~6 500 K for indoor lighting,the optimized spectral bases achieve excellent circadian regulation,color fidelity,and energy efficiency while meeting the requirements of Ra>80 for the four-channel scheme and Ra>90 for the five-channel scheme.Furthermore,compared to commercially available products,the four-channel scheme achieves a broader circadian regulation range with a single light source configuration,significantly enhances color rendering quality and luminous efficacy,and improves applicability and system integration.The spectral optimization methodology proposed in this study provides a theoretical foundation for selecting healthy lighting sources,promotes the development of smart and personalized health-oriented lighting systems,and offers technical support for future high-efficiency,low-energy-consumption solutions to optimize healthy lighting environments.

A Study on the Effects of Correlated Color Temperature and Illuminance in Dynamic Artificial Lighting Environments on Learning BehaviorAbstract:Dynamic lighting environments have a significant impact on learning behavior.This study conducted experimental research on the effects of correrated color temperature and illuminance in dynamic artificial lighting environments on learning efficiency,learning sleepiness,and learning recovery.The results indicate that high-illuminance environments increase the disparity in learning efficiency among students,while learning efficiency generally decreases under low color temperature conditions.The highest learning efficiency was observed under 2 900 K-1 000 lx lighting conditions,whereas the lowest occurred at 4 000 K-300 lx.When considering illuminance alone,subjects exhibited lower level of learning sleepiness at 300 lx,but with large individual differences.At a color temperature of 4 000 K,although sleepiness scores were slightly higher,individual differences were smaller.The lowest level of sleepiness was observed under the 4 000 K-1 000 lx condition.As illuminance increased,the average score for learning recovery showed a decreasing trend.When considering color temperature alone,4000 K was most conducive to the recovery of learning ability,with small individual differences.The best learning recovery was achieved under 4 000 K-300 lx lighting conditions.The findings provide a basis for the dynamic design of artificial lighting environments in classrooms.
A Study on the Adaptability of Lighting Environments in E-Sports Venues Based on Audience Participation BehaviorAbstract:This paper focuses on the issue of audience adaptability to the lighting environment in e-sports venues,evaluating its combined impact on immersive experience and communication behavior from the perspective of audience participation.A structured questionnaire was designed based on four key dimensions-visual comfort,brightness perception,functional adaptability,and emotional impact.A total of 91 valid responses were collected,covering 11 typical e-sports venues,supplemented by on-site illuminance measurements and image sampling.Using SPSSAU for Cronbach's α reliability testing and one-way ANOVA,the results showed that"brightness perception"differed significantly across venues,while the other three dimensions did not show statistical differences.Further analysis of audience feedback and image data summarized three typical issues:insufficient adaptability for selfies,disrupted immersion rhythm,and a lack of auxiliary lighting.Based on these findings,the study proposes a three-dimensional adaptation pathway of"expression-immersion-safety"and provides systematic optimization suggestions tailored to different phases of event processes,including color temperature control,light source direction,and auxiliary illuminance assurance.This study establishes a behavior-oriented lighting evaluation framework,offering data support and user-centered strategic pathways for e-sports venue lighting design.
