Overview • Electricity consumption • Efficacy of light sources • How eyes work • Characteristics of different lamps • Cost estimation • Energy saving solution • Conclusion
Electricity consumption Grid-based electric lighting consume about 19% of the total global electricity consumption, 5% to 15% in industrialized countries and 86% in developing countries [1]. Global electricity consumption [1] Eino Tetri, "Concepts and techniques for energy efficient lighting solutions," Helsinki University of Technology

Component Cost (FL and LED) Consider the lamp tubes only I. T8 FL lamp • Retail price: HK$30 II. Retrofit T8 LED lamp • Cost of one 0.1W LED: US$0.13 • Required output lumen: 1500lm • Required no. of LED: 200 • Cost of LED for one lamp: US$26 • Cost of mechanical housing: US$5 • Total cost of one LED lamp: US$31 • Retail price: US$80-90 (HK$640 – 720)
Running Cost (FL and LED) Assumptions: • 12-hour service • $1.0/kWh • 5-year service I. T8 FL lamp (30W) • Power consumption in five years: 657kWh ($657) • Replacement of the lamp tube: $30 x 3 ($90) II. T8 LED lamp (20W) • Power consumption in five years: 438kWh ($438) Saving in five years: ($657 + $90 - $438) = $309
Projection of the cost • LED Luminous efficiency : +10% each year • Cost : -10% each year Thus, the overall cost reduction each year: -15% each year. Projection of the cost of an LED lamp: 2010 : US$31 [HK$248] (Retail price : $640 - $720) 2011 : US$26 [HK$208] (Retail price : $536 - $604) 2012 : US$22 [HK$176] (Retail price : $454 – $511) 2013 : US$19 [HK$152] (Retail price : $392 - $441) * 2014 : US$16 [HK$130] (Retail price : $330 - $371) *
Challenges of LED lamps • Color rendering index • Aging problem • Lifetime • Thermal management • Non-standard technical specifications (single supplier ?) Implications: • Is it really necessary to have a separate LED driver? • LED lamp with integrated driver • AC-powered LED
How to save energy in this FL-to-LED transition era ? • Rule of thumb – reducing 1kWh consumption is easier than generating 1kWh • Wait and see the development of LED technology • Small-scale trial with low-power LED light bulbs • Can we do something to help save energy? Other: • Disposal of FL lamps (Any incentive scheme?) • Change all existing FL into LED lamps • Environmental issue • Investment $$
Centralized lighting control Meter room
Advantages of this concept • Suitable for MH, HPS and CFL lamps • Short payback period (about 2 years) • Immediate solution to reduce the energy consumption by 20% ($$ and CO2) • No need to change or modify existing lighting equipment and infrastructure • Optimal Lux level adjustment *Note: It is important to ensure that the voltage supplying to the lamp can be continuously adjusted. Otherwise, the lamp life will be affected.
Conclusions • LED lighting will be the future, but when? • Technology, $$, eco aspects, … • Is that any available solutions that can immediately reduce energy consumption? • Any room to reduce the required luminance level, 100lux 80lux 50lux (but, we have to take care of the visually impaired people) • Is it possible to set up an incentive scheme to make the occupants dispose their CFL in an environmentally friendly way?
