Özet

In recent years, the illumination in Turkey has

increased significantly with the spread of LED technology.

The main difficulty in illumination historical

artifacts is to accurately reveal their identities by

animating visual details, content, and emotions with

efficient lighting installation, thus preserving their

integrity, and carrying them into the future. The

study aims to make historical artifacts more attractive

with 3D simulation, prevent visual discomfort,

and reduce energy loss. This report is the first attempt

to address the illumination of the Aphrodisias

open-air museum found in the west of Turkey. The

3D simulation is implemented and analysed for the

selected zones. The desired results are successfully

achieved through the simulation and experimental

studies by finding the light sources with performance

parameters, such as CCT, CRI, and luminous

efficacy according to the location and texture. The

results promote modern technologies for the openair

museums in Turkey and offer solutions for safe

night visits, energy efficient illumination, and enhancing

visual aesthetics.
