Lampenflora Extent and Cumulative Photon Dose under a Retrofitted LED Tour Circuit in a Limestone Show Cave
A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions surveys 1,392 quadrats at the 58 tour luminaires of a limestone show cave in the eighteen months after they were replaced with LEDs, and finds green biofilm better predicted by cumulative photon dose, each surface's flux multiplied by its zone's logged on-time, than by flux alone. The retrofit cut lamp output, but a controller timeout lengthened at commissioning raised daily on-time in every zone, and in six of nine zones the rock now receives more light each day than before.
