Exploring Illumination and Communication: A Comprehensive Analysis of LED Lighting in Modern Interior Architectural Designs, Enhanced by Weighted Sum Model and Cluster Analysis for Informed Lighting Selection

Abstract

The study of light is crucial in modern interiors, as it dispels darkness and enhances both functionality and aesthetics. From the primal flicker of flames in ancient caves to the advanced light emitting diode (LED) systems of today, lighting has been pivotal in shaping our surroundings and experiences. In contemporary interior architectural designs, lighting fulfills not only functional roles but also greatly influences the aesthetics and atmosphere of a space. Light has been an integral element in sleek interior architecture. With the advancements in LED technology, the approach to illuminating spaces has been transformed providing energy-efficient solutions. This paper explores the role of LED lighting in modern interior architectural designs focusing on its impact on illumination and communication. Using a weighted sum model and cluster analysis, the various LED lighting configurations are evaluated for their suitability in different spaces. Performance metrics such as illuminance levels, uniformity, adherence to standards, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit error rate (BER) are analyzed. By varying the configurations of LED array per position from 10 × 10 to 100 × 100 the performance across different scales is assessed. The results offer insights for selecting LED lighting options that optimize functionality, aesthetics and energy efficiency in modern interior spaces.
