模組化的組裝式結構燈飾,在燈飾之模具生產模式上,可有較少之開模成本與較低之庫存管理費用。壓克力時常作為燈飾之燈罩或裝飾性零件的材料,目前國內的燈具研究大多著重在燈具效率的提高或室內環境指標的檢討,美術燈飾設計研究則多是以設計概念與意象為研究主題,少有以光學效應分析為設計主軸的美術燈飾設計。本研究以文獻探討方式,探討壓克力材質特性與模組化設計理論,運用光學模擬軟體進行光效分析,最後將設計與分析結果進行實體製作,並將模擬數據與實體做比較分析,作為後續燈飾設計者或研究人員之参考。 本研究獲得的結果顯示,模組化的組裝式結構燈飾,可有較彈性的外型變化設計,燈飾可依據需求的不同,改變模組單元數量作尺寸或外型的變化,包括:吊燈、桌燈、與壁燈等。運用光學模擬軟體針對造型光效分析作為設計依據,經由實體製作與成果驗證分析,結果顯示:(1)壓克力燈飾在問卷調查分析中,顯示在視覺舒適度與光色效果上皆有達到預期的設計目標;(2)在問卷調查分析中,光澤度與水晶燈飾相似度滿意度皆偏低,因壓克力材質之折射率相對小於水晶,即使增加元件切割面,仍不易看見色散,因此仿水晶之壓克力燈飾,難以達到水晶般的炫麗效果。
On the model of lighting module production, modularized, assemblable lighting can lower the costs of mold making and inventory management. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA; also known as acrylic glass) is a material that is often used for lampshades or ornamental parts. Currently, the majority of lighting studies in the country focus on increasing lighting efficiency or investigating indoor environmental indicators, and studies of artistic lighting designing mostly have taken the concept of design and/or the image of design as the theme of research as few artistic lighting designs have employed the analysis of optical effects as the design theme. Through a literature review approach, the present study investigated the properties of PMMA and the theory of modular design, applying optical simulation software to carry out optical effects analyses. Finally, the designing and analytical results were subject to physical production, and the simulation data were then compared with the produced entity with the results serving as reference for subsequent lighting designers or researchers. The results of this study showed that modularized, assemblable lighting allows for a greater flexibility in the designing of outer features as alterations can be made to the number, the size or the appearance of the modular unit according to the demand differences, including chandeliers and hanging lamps, table lamps, and wall lamps. By using optical simulation software, styles and optical effects were analyzed with the results taken as the basis for design to conduct further analyses via physical production and outcome verification. The analytical results indicated several findings: (1) as shown by the analysis of the questionnaire survey, PMMA lighting achieved the expected design objectives regarding the degree of visual comfort and the light-color effects; (2) as shown by the results of the questionnaire survey analysis, satisfactions on the degree of luster and the similarity to crystal lighting were relatively low, consequences of the smaller refractive index of PMMA compared to crystals, which has made chromatic dispersion difficult to observe even when the number of cuts has been increased for the component, and therefore, crystal-like PMMA lighting does not give the same level of glittering effect as true crystal lighting.
