This paper presents an accelerated life test of aviation taxiway lights installed in the airport to help safe navigation of airplanes at night or in bad weather. Recently halogen lamps of taxiway lights are replaced by LED ones and their reliability needs yet to be verified. Thus, effective test conditions are designed reflecting the failure modes and mechanisms from the previous studies on LED, which include the accelerated degradation process. The test is performed under the temperature $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ for two types of LED lights, taxiway center line lights(TCLL) and taxiway edge lights (TEDL). The failure time data were analyzed using lognormal distribution and Arrhenius model to find the life-stress relationship, acceleration factor and life characteristics under the normal condition temperature $30^{\circ}C$.

LED lights as a newly-growing industry are highly energy-efficient and have drawn lots of attention due to higher illuminance and longer life compared to other light sources. In this study, MR16 lights with one high-power LED were considered for the replacement of the previous halogen lights or LED lamps with many LEDs. Thus, fundamental experiments of LED on a MCPCB, 3-dimensional numerical analysis for heatsink design and performance tests of the prototype lights have been done and the MR16 LED lights have been successfully developed.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated LED navigation lights which can replace the existing ones immediately and overcome disadvantages due to use of conventional lamps. To decide the best arrangement and position of a LED module, optical systems of existing navigation lights were analyzed and refracted routes of rays were simulated. The electrical and optical characteristics of the fabricated LED navigation lights were measured and analyzed with a goniophotometer. To calculate ranges of visibility, the vertical and horizontal luminous intensity distributions were evaluated in accordance with the COLREGs (convention on the international regulation for preventing collisions at Sea). From the results, the proposed LED navigation lights showed suitable characteristics for marine environment with the power consumption reduced by 90% and the maximum luminous intensity increased by 20% compared to the existing navigation lights.

The fuel cost of fishing lights for squid jigging fishing vessels takes about 30% of total fishing costs and over 65% of total fuel costs, which indicates the necessity of development of cost-reducing and high efficient fishing light system. This study aimed to analyze the economic effectiveness of LED fishing light systems in combination with metal halide lamp for the squid jigging fishery. Analytical results showed that the level of fishing profits of vessels using LED lights could be different with those of vessels using metal halide lights. That is, when a fuel cost could be reduced by 30%, fishing profits of vessels using LED lights might be the same as those of vessels using metal halide lights, and fishing profits of vessels using LED lights could be higher than those of vessels using metal halide lights when a fuel cost could be reduced by 50%.

The visible threshold of Oreochromis niloticus responded to high light intensity under short wavelengths, whereas the response to low light intensity under long wavelengths was low, with a minimum visual threshold of 574 nm of LED lights. Movement distance of O. niloticus was dropped at 31℃ and increased abnormally at 37℃ under natural light. Comparing movement distance under red (622 nm) and green (518 nm) lights of LED, movement distance and swimming speed under red and green lights were higher than under natural light. However, the movement distance decreased rapidly at 31℃ under red light and lowest at 33℃ under green light. After that, there was a tendency to adapt to high water temperatures gradually. Consequently, red and green lights may be recommended for O. niloticus's aquaculture because the red and green lights have a positive effect on growth performance, survival rate, and metabolism, as shown in previous studies. It is necessary to control the water temperature below 32℃ because abnormal behavior above 32℃ revealed under red and green LED lights and natural light.

Visual Environment and productivity are correlated. So we need to create a comfortable visual environment and maintain proper workplane illumination level. We can obtain lighting energy savings and comfortable visual environment using daylight and LED lights. In this study, we characterized the indoor illuminance level according to the sky condition and proposed dimming control strategy of LED lights. Energy savings in On/Off control mode are 40% at clear sky and 28% at intermediate sky. In dimming control mode, energy savings are 77.2% at clear sky and 64.1% at intermediate sky. Then we obtain the appropriate dimming control strategy of LED lights based on data. Dimming rates are 0-14.2-80(min-avg-max, %) for LED 1, 0-19.9-60% for LED 2 and 30-61.4-90% for LED 3. Lighting energy savings are 68.2% for LED dimming system applied this control method.

The food functional properties of Pleurotus eryngii cultivated with different wavelengths of light-emitting diode (LED) light were analyzed in this study. The levels of total soluble solids of Pleurotus eryngii increased with all the LED lights, except mixed LED light ($B^*R$, $B^*G$ and $R^*G$). Thirty one kinds of components were detected by analyzing the free amino acids. The total free amino acid contents had a slightly higher tendency in the control group, but the ratios of eight essential amino acids among the total amino acids of Pleurotus eryngii cultivated under all the LED lights, including the blue light (blue, $B^*R$, $B^*G$ and $B^*R^*G^*U$) and the green light, were higher than that in the control group. K was the highest-content of mineral, and Mn was the lowest-content. The Ca content increased through cultivation under all the LED lights, except the blue light, but the Fe content (under the green and $B^*R$ lights), K content (under the red and UV-A lights) and Mg content (under the $R^*G$, UV-A and red lights) increased under the exclusive LED light. The total phenolic compounds increased by cultivation under all the LED lights, except the UV-A and mixed lights ($R^*G$ and $B^*R^*G^*U$). The DPPH radical scavenging activity was also improved by all the LED lights, except the mixed light ($R^*G$).

Reflect the social concerns of recent energy saving in this paper. The LED market is continuing to grow continuously. But it is now high light energy conversion led lights., We propose converting the light energy-saving method for these LED lights. Generated the cumulative loss of the conversion done at each light change from the current power of the LED lights. The cumulative loss to achieve minimal energy loss resulting from the improved performance.

The saloon light is the device that can offer convenience and comfort to the driver and passenger when the train is operated at night or in the tunnel. Generally, The fluorescent type saloon for the rolling stock have been used, but the problems that are short life and the generation of heat have been brought about because the saloon lihgts of rolling stock are supposed to operated continuously long time, and high power consumption. So, the development of new type of saloon lights has been requested in order to solve these problems. And recently the various LED type lights have been developed and LED type saloon lights for rolling stock also has been developed. Therefore, we survey the characteristic, function and needed condition of the LED type saloon lights for rolling stock, and analyze the good and bad point, and then research the complement of weak point. We want to find the direction and develop the design of future LED saloon light type.
