Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for illuminating a space, and more specifically, to a method for illuminating a space using a plurality of LED illumination modules, wherein the plurality of LED illumination modules adjust a mutual distribution ratio between a vertical illuminance and a horizontal illuminance, which is greater than the vertical illumination, according to a limitation of a radiation angle at one point within the space having the constant volume. The present invention can increase the efficiency of illumination and can reduce electric energy by lowering the vertical illuminance compared to the horizontal illuminance.

Claims (13)

1. A method for illuminating a space, the method using a plurality of LED illumination modules,

wherein the plurality of LED illumination modules control a mutual distribution ratio between a vertical illuminance and a horizontal illuminance and provides different vertical illuminance and horizontal illuminance at one point within the space having a constant volume, according to a light distribution condition.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light distribution condition is a control of a radiation angle, or the control of the radiation angle and a division of a light distribution pattern.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the radiation angle is 10 to 90 degrees, and the light distribution pattern is divided into at least two areas.

4. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the LED illuminating module includes a plurality of LED chips installed on a substrate, and a reflector for limiting a light radiation angle of the LED chip to 10 to 90 degrees, and

the LED chips are spaced apart from each other so that the LED chips radiate to at least two areas.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the reflector encloses a whole of the plurality of LED chips and is arranged in a midair of cup shape, and

an inner surface of the reflector includes a reflection surface which guides the LED chips so that the LED chips radiate to the at least two areas different from each other.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of the LED illuminating modules includes the plurality of LED chips installed on the substrate, and

each of the LED chips is disposed so that each of the LED chips has a different radiation angle to radiate a divided light.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ratio between the vertical illuminance and the horizontal illuminance is 2:8 to 4:6.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light distribution condition of the LED illuminating module is a control of a radiation angle, and the radiation angle is 10 to 90 degrees.

9. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the radiation angles of the plurality of LED illuminating modules are different from each other.
