Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate blue light hazards of LED lightings in an optical store with blue light radiance used as the quantitative indicators of photobiological hazard. Methods: The spectral radiance of each LED lightings was measured, and blue-light radiance and the corresponding maximum exposure time were calculated. Then each LED lighting was classified according to the risk group from IEC 62471 standard. Results: The yellow LED lightings used in showcases and white LED lightings used on ceilings and logo were classified into risk group RG0. But the white LED lightings used on showcases were classified into risk group RG1. The blue light radiances of white LED lightings used in showcases are dozens of times larger than that of fluorescent lamp. Conclusions: Using the value of the blue light radiance could quantitatively express the blue light hazard to various lightings. It was confirmed that white LED lightings for the showcases had high blue light hazards because of their high luminance and color temperature. Therefore, when replacing lightings in optical shop it is necessary to select the appropriate brightness and color temperature for eye health in the long term.

목적: 청색광 위험도의 정량적 지표인 청색광 복사휘도를 이용하여 안경원 내 LED 조명에 대한 청색광 위험도를 평가하였다. 방법: LED 조명의 분광복사휘도를 측정하고 청색광 복사휘도와 최대노출시간을 산출한 후, IEC 62471 분류기준에 따라 위험군을 분류하였다. 결과: 진열장에 사용된 황색 LED 조명, 천장에 사용된 백색 및 황색 LED 조명, 그리고 로고에 사용된 백색 LED 조명은 위험제외군 RG0로 분류되었지만, 진열장에 사용된 백색 LED 조명은 위험군 RG1으로 분류되었다. 진열장에 사용된 백색 LED 조명의 청색광 복사휘도는 형광등에 비하여 수십 배나 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 청색광 복사휘도의 값을 이용하여 여러 가지 조명에 대한 청색광 위험을 정량적으로 표현할 수 있었다. 진열장용 백색 LED 조명은 높은 휘도와 색온도로 청색광 위험이 높음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 안경원 내의 조명 교체 시 장기적이 측면에서 시건강을 위해 적절한 밝기와 색온도의 조명을 선택하는 것이 필요하겠다.
