The Factors Affecting The Adoption Of LED Lamps

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting the intention to buy LED lamps on the part of adult Bangkokians that are the purchase decision-makers and are aware of LED lamps. A multiple regression model was employed to investigate the factors affecting the intention to buy LED lamps. Thirteen motives for adopting LED lamps were identified. They were: price, quality, energy saving, durability, trustworthiness of LED lamp performance, compatibility of LED lamps with the lighting fixtures, brand, product availability, promotion and corporate social responsibility, environmental consciousness, social well-being, and perceived effectiveness of environmental behavior. In addition, the effects of demographic variables (i.e., gender, age, education, and household income) on the adoption of LED lamps were examined. A total of 555 responses were collected from the adult shoppers. The results of the multiple regression analyses suggest that the factors affecting the intention to purchase LED lamps in the low household income segment are quality, compatibility of LED lamps with lighting fixtures, product availability, and corporate social responsibility. In the high household income segment, they are energy saving and perceived effectiveness of environmental behavior.

Factors affecting the intention to adopt light-emitting diode lighting at home

“…Price value, which is a factor of the UTAUT2 model, showed a significant, direct and positive effect on the intention to buy LED lighting, which supports the third hypothesis (H3). This finding is not consistent with what Leelakulthanit 35 found in her study. One reason may be that the selected respondents in that study included those who were not aware of what LED lighting is, while in this study the respondents were households that might have been willing to buy LED lighting.…”

Sustainable Development: The Effects of Social Normative Beliefs On Environmental Behaviour

“…Third, a previous study indicated that environmental behaviour was affected by gender (Polonsky et al , ). Household income is also a predictor of the intention to engage in environmental behaviour (Leelakulthanit, ) and environmental behaviour (Dolnicar, ; Hori et al , ). Therefore, an investigation of the effects of demographic variables (e.g.…”

Factors Affecting Energy-Efficient Household Products Buying Intention: Empirical Study

“…Thus, it is necessary to establish the demand side energy management. Considering the high demand for energy at individual homes, Leelakulthanit [11] stressed that it is important to reduce the exhaustive usage of energy by implementing efficient energy production techniques and efficient energy consumption. Monthly home electricity bill will decrease if home energy management system is implemented and energy efficient product use at home is encouraged.…”
