Klasyfikacja modelowych rozwiązań odzieży ostrzegawczej doposażonych w źródła światła bezpośredniego

The standard high visibility clothing previous used in the professional and non-professional practice, in the absence of directional lighting does not ensure the visibility of its user.A factor that can improve the protective properties of warning clothing may be the retrofitting it with elements that emit direct visible radiation. The clothing with various types of active light sources have started to appear on the market for several years, but so far there are no the standardized test methods and the requirements for this type of clothing. In order to create the possibility of assessing such clothing, we conducted the photometric and functional tests of model high visibility clothing solutions with the application of lighting elements. On the basis of the results obtained and their analysis, a basic classification of this type of clothing was proposed in terms of the minimum luminance requirements of the light emitted from it, as well as criteria for its assessment.
