본 연구에서는 240 W급 고출력 LED 집어등의 특성을 기존 메탈 집어등과 비교하여 배광 패턴의 특성 및 광효율을 분석하고, 파장 대역의 특성을 해양 투과 특성 및 시감도를 고려하여 집어등 광원으로써 적정성을 분석하였다. 색온도 6500 K, white LED 패키지를 적용한 240 W LED 집어등의 특성을 보면 배광각은 ±45°, 조도 변화률이 0.8로 개선되었으며, 광효율은 98.8 lm/W로 향상되었다. LED 집어등의 해수의 투과율과 인간의 암순응시 시감도를 1,500 W 메탈등 1개와 4개의 240 W LED 집어등에 적용하여 비교한 결과, 방사출력이 수심 50 m에 이르면 거의 동등하였으며, 암순응시 시감도만을 적용한 경우에도 LED 집어등이 약 5 % 정도 높은 광속을 나타내었으며, 수심 50 m의 방사출력에 암순응시 시감도를 적용한 경우 LED 집어등의 광속이 14 % 높게 나타나 메탈등의 대체 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

A fishing lamp is fishing gear to gather fish in the night. But the cost of oil which is used to a light fishing lamp, goes significantly up to almost one hundred million won for 50 tonnage vessels and forty million won in case of vessels less than 10 tonnages. This cost has almost taken 30.40% of total fishing costs. As oil price increases, the business condition of the fishery gets worse and worse. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop an economical fishing lamp, to solve the problem of fishery's business difficulty. This research aims at developing a fishing lamp for squid jigging fishery and hairtail angling fishery using the LED, which has excellent efficiency and durability. One fishing lamp has about 160Watt capacity and five fishing lamps are installed one aluminium panel in which sea water flows to emit generated heat from LED to outside. Developed fishing lamp lights to an effective direction of jigging and angling operation. This fishing lamp can be controlled to light the direction of fish shoal because the aluminium panel can be controlled to up and down direction. The wave length of fishing lamp has white and blue color. White color light is to gather fish shoal of horizontal direction and blue color light is to gather fish shoal of vertical direction. After development of this fishing lamp, 60.110 units are established on the boat, and operated fishing. Consequently, in the case of squid jigging, spent energy was reduced to 39%, in the case of hairtail angling, 68% of spent energy was reduced. And the catch was more than another boat.

The fishing lamp is a fishing gear that gathers fish at night. But the cost of oil, which is used to light fishing lamp, has been risen significantly up to 30-40% of total fishing costs. Therefore it is very urgent to develop an energy economical fishing lamp in order to solve the business difficulties of fisheries. Under this background, this research aims at developing a fishing lamp for squid jigging and hairtail angling fishery using the LED, which has excellent energy efficiency and durability. The LED fishing lamp developed can be controlled to fix a fit direction of fish shoal deep because a fishing lamp can be adjustable up and down directions. One unit of fishing lamp has about an 80Watt capacity and the frame of fishing lamp is made of aluminium to emit generated heat of LED to outside. The LED lamp developed was highly durable, only 5.7% of emitting efficiency decreased for 18 months. The illuminance of a unit LED lamp was 2,070lux at 1m and 21lux at 10 m distance, and the intensity of LED lamp system emitted 2,580lux and 400lux at the respective distances. After development of this fishing lamp, 100 units are installed on operating fishing vessels. Experimental results show that energy consumption of squid jigging and hairtail angling was reduced by 40% and 87%, respectively. In conclusion, our methods showed elevated fishing power, compared with traditional fishing method: 37.7% for squid jigging and 24.5% for hairtail angling.
