Exhibit Summary
Light pipes is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Earth & Planet category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
Through hands-on operations, the public can grasp how light pipes are used in buildings, discover how to use natural light to achieve zero-carbon lighting, and reduce building energy and carbon emissions.
Operation
Architectural lighting is an important part of building energy consumption. In addition to using energy-saving lighting equipment to reduce emissions, making full use of natural sunlight can also achieve near-zero carbon emissions. The light pipe lighting system is a lighting system that collects natural light and transmits it to the room via pipes for natural light illumination. Its basic concept is to efficiently collect outdoor natural light via a lighting cover and introduce it into the system for redistribution. After being transmitted via a specially made light pipe, the diffusion unit at the bottom will illuminate the natural light evenly and efficiently to any place where light is needed. The light pipe system has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, safety and long-lasting effect. It not only provides natural lighting, but also has good heat insulation performance. The displays are equipped with light guides made using the concept of light reflection. The audience uses light guides to connect the light source and the miniature city building model scene box. The light reflection concept is used to guide the light into the city building model scene box to illuminate the interior of the model.
