General Habitat Lighting
Tunable LED Panels for General Illumination
Tunable LED panel lighting providing general habitat illumination with circadian-cycle support (color temperature 3000-6500 K).
Purpose
Tunable LED panel lighting providing general habitat illumination with circadian-cycle support (color temperature 3000-6500 K).
Context
Child of L2-HAB-LIGHT within the Lunar Ark system
Principles
- ▸Tunable white LEDs (3000-6500 K)
- ▸Circadian-cycle programming
- ▸Distributed panels for shadow-free illumination
- ▸PWM dimming via L3-HAB-LIGHT-CTRL
- ▸Long-life solid-state LEDs
Typical implementations
- ▸ISS SSLA (Solid State Lighting Assembly)
- ▸Industrial circadian lighting
- ▸LED panel manufacturers
Lunar considerations
- ▸Lunar day-night cycle disrupts circadian — artificial cycle critical
- ▸Long-life LEDs (~50k hours)
- ▸Robotic-replaceable panels
