SRIPADA is the most sacred place for the Buddhists. Official Sripada season begins in December and ends in May. During the season, for a day, there are more than 100,000 pilgrims arrive to Udamaluwa. It is anticipated around 20 million of pilgrims venerate Sripada during a six month of the season. Existing electrical system of Sripada is not energy efficient, reliable and a safe one.
Also the Required lighting level to the floor area has not fulfilled with the existing lighting system. Since, Halogen lights have been used for lighting energy efficiency of the system is very low. Lighting protection system also is not reliable, there were several numbers of lightnings attacks and they were damaged some equipment.
Hence energy efficient quality lighting system could be designed. The appropriate outdoor lighting level which is suitable for a religious place should be maintained. Lighting design as it applies to the built environment, also known as “Architectural lighting design” is both a science and an art.
Lighting of structures must consider aesthetic elements as well as practical considerations of quantity of light required, occupants of the structure, energy efficiency and cost. Here the light fittings arrangement should not be disturbed to the aesthetic beauty and the sacredness of Sripada. Cool and calm feeling would be given to the people by the lighting arrangement. LED lamps has been selected for the Udamaluwa outdoor lighting design, since it is the current highly energy efficient lighting technology.
