As an emotion elicitor and mood generator, light receives considerable attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of cluster lighting on a driver’s emotional response, when the lighting varied in color and dynamic patterns. A total of 29 college students visually experienced 25 different kinds of lighting and made subjective assessments concerning satisfaction, tension, and uniqueness. As a result, we observed that tension responses were significantly influenced by both light color and light patterns. In terms of dynamic patterns, sudden high-frequency light produced the greatest tension. Based on these empirical results, this study suggests that lighting can support an emotionally satisfactory and comfortable in-car design.

作为情绪激发器和情绪发生器，光受到了相当多的关注。在这项研究中，我们调查了当灯光的颜色和动态模式发生变化时，集群照明对驾驶员情绪反应的影响。共有 29 名大学生在视觉上体验了 25 种不同的灯光，并对满意度、紧张度和独特性进行了主观评价。结果，我们观察到张力反应受到光色和光模式的显着影响。在动态图案方面，突如其来的高频光产生了最大的张力。基于这些实证结果，本研究表明照明可以支持情感上令人满意和舒适的车内设计。
