LED Lightbulbs as a Source of Electricity Saving in Buildings

Abstract

Abstract. Today a number of renewable energy technologies are available for power generation, but fossil fuels are still providing a dominant share nevertheless. In order to decrease the electric bill and save our environment, energy conservation is always crucial. In this paper a very interesting idea is presented which is economically viable to reduce electricity usage in our buildings. An effort has been made to estimate the amount of energy that could be saved in the dormitory section of the IMOP building in Russia. Although there are many ways to reduce the consumption of electricity in this building but here the emphasis is on changing light bulbs inside the rooms, kitchen, toilet and bathroom of each apartment. The scope of the study is to figure out monthly electricity saving by replacing traditional light bulbs by LED light bulbs in the building under consideration. The total investment required and the payback period is also presented.

Critical Success Factors Influencing the Implementation of Sustainable Energy System in Uganda: A Case of Inter-University Council of East Africa Energy Project at the Head Quarters in Kampala, Uganda

“…Light Emitting Diode bulbs are currently available in many forms such as substitutes for 3 W, 4 W, 5 W, 6 W, 10 W, 12 W, 40 W, 60 W, and 75 W traditional incandescent, reflector bulbs often used in recessed fixtures, and small track lights [20]. The Light Emitting Diode bulbs can conserve energy and can last longer than the traditional incandescent bulbs, hence making them more suitable for sustainability of energy in the organizations.…”

“…Therefore, use of diesel generators encourages use of clean and environmentally friendly energy, thus promoting energy security which leads to sustainable use of energy [20]. Improving energy efficiency refers to the implementation of measures and strategies to reduce energy consumption and optimize energy use within commercial, institutional, or industrial buildings.…”

Energy Saving LED and CFL Lamps - Rated vs. True Power and Current Consumption

“…On the basis of voltage and current samples, the power consumed by the lamp was calculated according to (1).…”

“…Due to the much better lighting efficiency than the classic bulbs, they consume several or dozen times less power from the grid to produce the same luminous flux. It gives significant energy savings for individual consumers in apartments and/or houses [1] as well as for the institutional recipients in large facilities such as office buildings, shopping centers, hospitals, etc. The second beneficial feature of lighting systems based on LED luminaries is a possibility of wide lighting arrangement.…”

Effect of three LED lights on the biomass production and copper remediation by shoot cultures of Musa paradisiaca

“…Nowadays, electrical lighting could be used as a steady and reliable source of radiation to control plant growth environment [ 7 ]. The use of LEDs gives higher lighting efficiency or lower energy consumption, over incandescent or compact fluorescent lamps [ 8 , 9 ]. The red and blue LED alone or in combination has been applied for plant morphogenesis both in vivo and in vitro over the decades [ 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”
