10 years of Cave Lighting project. LED lighting in show caves.

Abstract

This presentation tells about ten year experience of Cave Lighting in equipping (development and maintenance) modern subterranean tourist attractions. Here are just a few tourist attractions we equipped: Herbstlabyrinth Cave (Germany), Fundata Cave (Romania), Postojnska Jama (Slovenia), Grotte de Clamouse (France), Prometeus Cave (Georgia), Höllgrotten Cave (CH), Wendelstein Cave (Germany), Cayman Crystal Caves (Cayman), Grotte de Han (Belgium). We are going to talk about problems arising when operating a cave for a long time on a daily basis, as well as strategies and tactics in their solution. We are presenting tried-and-true modern technologies and equipment, which allow minimizing the harm caused by anthropic interference when operating a cave.
