Lighting design for show caves

Julija Capjak Kovačević

Abstract

When designing lighting of show caves, in addition to lighting the paths for the safety of visitors, it is necessary to pay attention to the preservation of the cave, which is subject to strict protection. The greatest emphasis is on the prevention of lampenflora and the preservation of the physical features of the cave. Functionally, the lighting fixtures must not disturb visitors, while their main task is to ensure safety when passing through the cave and to illuminate the cave decorations and unique space, which are the reasons for visiting the cave itself. In this article, the requirements and restrictions on lighting were elaborated, and the lighting project of Šparožna pećina was created in the ReluxDesktop software package.
