Abstract

The environmental intervention by artificial lighting principles, such illuminating with yellow light and shine in appropriate direction play important roles in senior care in bed area. This study is concentrated on the principles of artificial lighting in senior activity correlated to bed space planning which its objective is able to promote a higher level of seniors’ vision for well-being in their space. To clarify artificial lighting principle, the research is setting up by surveying on-site and lighting modelling for analysis. The result of the research offers the alternative principle, conceptual improvement in invented  lighting, and the averaged values of illumination for physical standard requirement.
