Based on the analysis of mosques built in the 21st century in Turkey, Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates, Albania, Malaysia, Indonesia, Oman, and other countries, innovative architectural techniques for daylighting systems have been identified: placing the mihrab in the stained-glass structure, dissolving the qibla in light, replacing the mihrab with a stream of sunlight, and solid glazing of the mosque. The trend towards an increase in translucent structures and the "openness" of prayer halls to the outside world is shown. The interrelation of some of the studied techniques with the cultural and religious basis of Islam has been revealed, which makes it possible to "reconcile" innovation and tradition in mosque architecture. The results of the scientific analysis of daylighting systems in the latest mosques, presented as a theoretical systematic material, are important for designing architects, because they allow them to go beyond the design or technical solution to a more complex plane, the plane of human habitation of deep emotions associated with a sense of belonging to religion, to a centuries-old cultural tradition.

Digital development is steadily creating new challenges and stress tests for the global energy infrastructure. However, with the emergence and popularization of mining activities and the proliferation of data centres, the condition and capacity of power grids have become critical issues for the proper functioning of lighting networks, as well as the entire national economy. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive study and assessment of the impact of mining activities and data centres on the condition of lighting networks, including an analysis of the sensitivity of LED equipment to power quality fluctuations caused by mining and server loads. The objective of the study is to identify key issues and pain points in the operation of lighting networks due to the proliferation of mining activities and data centres, as well as to identify possible actions to mitigate energy risks. The article concludes on the possibility of optimizing energy consumption when adapting mining data centres for data processing for the development of AI technologies. The key reasons for introducing regional restrictions on mining activities are also formulated, which are related specifically to issues of the stability of electrical networks, consumption meters, and ensuring the normal functioning of electronics and lighting equipment during peak loads.

The dominant use of electrical lighting systems in modern architecture risks severing the temporal and spatial connection that an individual has with daylight. The fundamental problem here is not that electrical light should be seen as an alternative to daylight. The issue is how to strategically integrate electrical light as a complement that supports the sensory depth and biological rhythm it offers. This study addresses the critical role of material and light interaction in constructing the ontological identity of a space and the user experience on a scientific level. Successful architectural design does not perceive electrical light as a substitute for daylight. On the contrary, when electrical light is positioned as an element that reinforces temporal awareness in architectural design, the permanence and impact of architectural works increase. The most concrete evidence of this approach is that architectural works that skillfully blend natural and electrical light from the past to the present continue to inspire, defying time. Ultimately, a holistic design methodology that centres biological and psychological sustainability, balancing the temporal awareness of daylight with the controllability of electrical light, enhances the impact of architectural design.

This article analyses lighting literacy as a component of entrepreneurial competencies in the creative industries segment, such as Film, Video, and Television Program Production (OKVED 1 59.11). The underlying premise is that light is understood not only as an engineering subsystem ensuring visibility but also as a key artistic and technological resource determining the visual style, safety, and production efficiency of an audio-visual product. Based on a normative and functional comparative-legal analysis, as well as an interdisciplinary approach integrating lighting engineering and management aspects, lighting engineering is conceptualized as an independent component of the entrepreneurial competencies of film producers and managers. This module is substantively described as a "minimum literate customer" format, encompassing knowledge of basic lighting values and key parameters (TLCI, CRI, CCT, luminous efficacy), an understanding of lighting equipment types and the life cycle of lighting installations, consideration of energy efficiency, and associated operating and investment costs, as well as skills in setting technical specifications and interacting with professional lighting technicians and designers. It is demonstrated that integrating lighting literacy into entrepreneurial competencies contributes to enhancing the artistic and technological quality of audio-visual products, reducing production risks, and strengthening the sustainability of business-models in the face of increasingly complex film production infrastructure

The renovation of the urban environment of Krasnogorsky Square in Sergiev Posad through the use of lighting design is a significant project aimed at both updating and preserving the authenticity of the monumental ensemble of the city, which is located near The Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra, the largest male stavropegic (directly subordinate to the Patriarch) monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church and the spiritual centre of Russia.
The lighting project for the renovation of the historic square has been designated as a part of a state program to create a nationally-oriented urban environment.
To achieve this goal, a systematic approach to the project is proposed, which involves considering the various components of the project in an integrated manner. This includes spatial elements, lighting technologies, functional and decorative solutions, as well as their socio-cultural significance.
As a result, a proposal for the design renovation of an urban historical square was made, including the development of routes and the functional zoning of the area. A set of lighting and technical solutions was also proposed, as well as a master-plan for the lighting renovation of the square. Thanks to an optimal design solution, this plan can be adapted for various events, from religious celebrations to secular gatherings.
The lighting design tool allows for the integration of the project into the museum environment without damaging valuable historical artifacts.
The research for this project was based on a training project that was created as part of a degree course at the Department of Environmental Design at the Russian State University of Design and Applied Arts (Stroganov University).

The widespread adoption of LED headlights and lithium batteries by commercial vehicles as part of import substitution is creating unresolved legal conflicts. The essence of the conflict: replacing a halogen bulb with an LED in a standard headlight inevitably violates the boundary between light and shadow, which, without recertification, directly violates traffic safety requirements. At the same time, environmental regulations require the disposal of failed LED devices as hazardous waste, without providing a viable infrastructure.
Carriers are faced with a dilemma: bear the costs of a certified headlight, a waste certificate, and a licensee, or violate regulations, risking fines and business interruption. The goal is to identify legal conflicts and propose changes to legislation (de lege ferenda) and develop an algorithm for the legal write-off of LED headlights for commercial vehicles.
Methods: formal legal, systemic interpretation, comparative legal, legal modelling, economic analysis of law, analysis of law enforcement practice, legal forecasting.
Scientific novelty: for the first time, the legal problems of freight carriers in the transition to energy-saving lighting technology have been systematized with an assessment of economic risks and substantiation of foreign experience (EU, Germany).
Practical significance: the results can be used in preparing amendments to TR CU 018/2011, laws No. 89-FZ and No. 40-FZ, and as a checklist for legal services.
Key findings: A conflict was identified between the ban on aftermarket lighting and the requirement to dispose of used LED headlights as Class III – IV hazardous waste; a typical violation scenario was established; and five legislative amendments were proposed.

The article provides a legal analysis of the copyright regime of stage lighting in the context of the technological evolution of the performing arts industry and examines the criteria for distinguishing a copyrightable lighting design work from a technical lighting service. The purpose of the study is to identify the legal uncertainty in qualifying stage lighting as a copyright object, caused by the absence in legislation and doctrine of measurable parameters of originality for dynamic and intangible lighting solutions, and to substantiate the possibility of granting them copyright protection. The methodological basis is a comparative legal analysis of judicial practice, doctrinal sources, as well as an interpretation of originality criteria in relation to the physical parameters of light (intensity, spectral composition, modulation frequency, beam direction). It is shown that the current legal doctrine does not operate with the parameters of perception of lighting compositions, and judicial practice demonstrates contradictory approaches: from recognising the lighting designer as an author to qualifying the gaffer's activity as auxiliary, not generating copyright. The article substantiates the possibility of recognising stage lighting as an independent copyright object, provided that the author's creative choice was not dictated exclusively by technical imperatives, and also proposes objective originality criteria. The practical significance lies in the development of clarifications for the Intellectual Property Court, which would eliminate legal uncertainty, ensure protection of the rights of lighting designers, and differentiate creative solutions from technical services in stage art.

A modern poultry farm is a complex of premises isolated from the external environment, in which a controlled microclimate is created, ensuring, in part through rational electrical lighting, the good physiological condition of the birds and allowing for a significant increase in virtually all indicators of the productivity of the flock of birds, increasing survival rates and reducing feed costs.
The combined irradiator prototype includes the following radiation sources: erythema lamp, like LE 15 type, germicidal lamp, like DB 15 type, quartz halogen lamp thermo-emitter KGT 220–500, LED block with variable emission spectrum. Measurements of the photometric characteristics of the light sources and LED module were conducted at the Lighting Metrology Shared Use Centre of the Electronics and Lighting Engineering Institute of N.P. Ogarev National Research MRSU.
A brief description of the prototype assembly is provided. The results of the study can be used for the further development of LED based irradiators.

Green plants are essential for human and animal life, as they alone can synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis using sunlight energy. In modern plant cultivation, the meristem culture method is used to increase crop yields. Experiments were conducted on in vitro potato meristem plants to study the influence of spectral component doses of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) on their development.
The aim of this work was to develop energy-efficient digital lighting technologies for in vitro culture that reduce energy consumption while maintaining plant productivity. Based on the works of A.F. Kleshnin, an analysis of solar radiation spectral density in the geographical region of the crop's origin was performed, showing that radiation consists of approximately 29 % red, 21 % yellow, 18 % green, 16 % blue, 9 % violet, and 6 % UV spectral ranges.
To implement the required spectral component doses, a PLC control algorithm for the LED irradiator was developed using the CoDeSys industrial automation software package. An energy-efficient lighting technology was proposed that enables faster growth of in vitro plantlets compared to controls. As a result, LED irradiator operating time and power consumption were reduced by approximately 13 %, while leaf area increased by 26 % relative to controls, leaf number increased to 7.5 (versus 5.57 in controls), and root system development reached 2.7 points (versus 2.06 in controls).

The timely detection of road surface deterioration is a critical factor in infrastructure maintenance and traffic safety. Conventional inspection methods remain labour-intensive, costly, and prone to human error. In contrast, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) combined with advanced computer vision techniques provide a scalable and cost-effective alternative.
In this study, we propose a neural network model based on the YOLOv12 object detection framework for identifying road surface defects. The model is trained on a UAV-PDD2023 dataset containing over 2400 high-resolution aerial images annotated across six categories of road defects. Two model configurations with varying preprocessing steps and hyperparameters are evaluated to assess robustness and generalization.
The evaluation of the model efficiency was performed when RGB imagery is replaced with single-channel counterparts. Results show that the accuracy of defect detection remains largely unaffected: over 90 percent of the defects detected in RGB imagery were also correctly identified in single-channel images, with a performance variation of less than ±5 %. This indicates that a single trained model can be effectively applied to images with different spectral characteristics.

The article presents the results of a study of compositional and lighting techniques in digital interior installations from four immersive exhibition environments (teamLab Planets TOKYO, Arte Museum New York, Luminar, Futurione). The analysis focuses on the architectonics of space, spatial composition, and the parameters of light. It is shown that the immersive experience is formed according to a three-level strategy: the scripted route as a meta-composition, the composition of installations as a coherent world, and light dramaturgy as the core of multisensory synthesis. Four basic compositional techniques (infinity, densification, dematerialization, light-scape) and four lighting techniques (light dramaturgy, light pointillism, materialization of light, multisensory synchronization) are systematized. Based on the synthesis of the route and these techniques, four behavioural modes of visitor presence are identified (labyrinth-like movement, free wandering, fixed contemplation, tactile involvement).
The obtained results form a methodological framework for the design of immersive environments and can be applied in lighting design, media architecture and curatorial practice in digital art. One of the empirical sources of the study is an interview with representatives of the company d’strict.

Due to the scarcity of fossil energy resources and increasing energy costs, the energy-efficient design of buildings has become a key issue for designers. Lighting is one of the most important architectural elements in creating visually comfortable spaces and plays a major role in a building's energy performance.
This study presents an approach that considers the EN 15193–1 + A1 standard to estimate lighting energy performance in offices. To estimate performance, three office volumes were first created and electrical lighting and daylighting alternatives that affect office lighting were produced. The study created scenarios consisting of variations in window shape, light transmittance of the glass, solar control elements, and orientation features for daylighting, as well as different lamp types and control systems for electrical lighting.
The aim of this research is to determine the annual lighting energy performance by evaluating lighting design alternatives. The analysis showed that using LED lamps has the most significant effect on energy consumption, providing up to (35–50) % energy savings compared to fluorescent lamps. The automatic control system saved almost 10 % of energy compared to the manual option. Of all the variables in the natural lighting system, orientation had the greatest impact on the total amount of lighting energy used throughout the year. Taking the window shape and glass light transmittance parameters into account, it was found that, although the annual lighting energy requirements differed between the alternatives, these differences were minimal.

This article presents a prototype design and experimental validation of intelligent control of a street light luminaire containing CW (cool white) and WW (warm white) LED based on human or object detection, motion, and weather conditions. The system is mainly controlled by a Raspberry Pi 5(RPi 5) integrated with a wireless CCTV camera for obtaining real-time object presence and speed estimation, along with a DHT11 sensor and LDR for temperature, humidity, and light level detection, and sensing of fog and rain from a weather application programming interface (API).
The designed system uses vision-based object detection, determines the type and speed of object movement, and then dynamically adjusts the LED light output, consists of alternate array of CW and WW LED arrays, based on the required illuminance on road surface corresponding to the object's speed. On the other hand, it senses weather behaviour from weather API data to generate control signal and transfer via IoT network to ESP8266 to switch between CW and WW LEDs in a single LED module.
In this system, sensor fusion techniques are used to correlate environmental parameters to actuate the situation demanded light level. A hardware prototype is designed and experimentally tested in a controlled environmental scenario to evaluate system response time, light output adjustment variation with speed, and lighting performance under dynamic weather conditions. This control setup helps to develop a smart street lighting solution as well as to provide suitable visual conditions and safety to support the development of a smart city.
