LIGHTING EFFICIENCY Neil Hope Taylor McKenzie
LIGHTING EFFICIENCY the amount of visible light produced for a given energy input
Historically, lightbulbs were purchased based on energy consumption • Today, more informed decisions may be made based on a bulb’s light output and energy consumption • However, not all lightbulbs’ light output is the same
Luminosity Function • Response of the Human Eye to light
Sources of Inefficiencies • Heat generation • Generation of radiation outside the visible spectrum
Lighting Options • Incandescent lamps • Fluorescent Lamps • LED (lamps) • Electron Stimulated Luminescence • Halogen Lamps • Sodium Lamps
Thank You • Any Questions? • eg When does the break start? • Sooner if you don’t ask questions
