With the increment in the gap between the demand and supply of energy, various alternatives for decreasing the demand of energy are major concern for the various stakeholders. In order to decrease the energy demand by lighting various energy efficient lights are available in market. However it is difficult to convince the residents to change conventional artificial light sources, since lighting system is an essential part in the building which ensures the comfort, productivity and safety of the occupants in the buildings. Among the various Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights are termed as one of the most efficient energy saving lights which aims to save almost more than 50 % of energy demand than that of CFL lights with same power of illumination. Hence, this study is carried out to calculate energy saving percentage after replacing the conventional lights like florescent, mercury lights and other forms of conventional lights by LED lights. Additionally the study also was focused to evaluate feasibility of the replacement of lights by LED lights in terms of energy saving and return of investment. The research was carried out in building used by Agrotechnology and Food Science (AFSG) science group of Wageningen University in the Netherlands. The results from the study showed that almost 50% of the energy can be saved after replacement by LED lights with around 5 years for return of investment. However, factors like 1) Number of operating hours, 2) Price of lights, 3) Energy cost, 4) Labour cost for replacement and adjustment and 5) Number of replacement and adjustment per hour are the influential features that effects in the performance of various types of lights

Due to electrical energy reduction need, in the recent years, alternative light sources like Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) and Light Emitting Diode lamps (LED) are replacing the classical incandescent light bulbs. Although they consume less power, these lamps have the disadvantages of being a significant source of harmonics. This means that the lightning network should be redesigned taking into account the magnitude of the current harmonic components and of the null current. To this aim, an accurate model easy to build and a fast analysis are very useful. This paper presents three models for different types of energy saving light bulbs, two existing ones and a new implementation, a procedure for model parameters identification and a comparison of the models. Some errors criteria are considered, both qualitative and quantitative. The periodic steady state response is computed using a frequency domain analysis.

This paper presents analysis of lighting quality in different road surface conditions using the DIALux software. Dry and wet road surfaces are used to study lighting quality by following classifications of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). Lighting quality of high pressure sodium (HPS) and light emitting diode (LED) luminaires are compared, based on roadway with a traffic island. Results indicate that the HPS luminaire can provide better average illuminance and average luminance values than the LED luminaire, resulting in positive visual performance. However, the LED luminaire can achieve visual and comfort performance including energy saving due to its light distribution efficiency. For lighting quality on different road surface conditions, the lighter dry road surface materials, the higher lighting quality. Wet road surfaces cause very bright areas on road surface alternating with large dark areas. It results in the average luminance of the surface increased while overall uniformity decreased.

A multiplanar reflector was designed to enhance the application efficiency of light-emitting diode (LED) light sources that can be employed as LED-based dental lights. This study used a high-power LED developed by Nichia, that is, a single LED capable of providing a total luminous flux of 120 lm, as the primarily light source to design and develop an LED-based dental light. This LED complies with the international standards and regulations stipulated in ISO 9680:2007. The light spots produced by the prototype were rectangular, with a length of 200 mm and a width of 100 mm. These light spots achieved maximum illumination of 12,000 lux. The use of LEDs can reduce energy consumption from 50 W to 3 W, providing an energy saving of more than 90%.

This paper presents the measurement results of the reduced luminance coefficients of an asphalt pavement sample under three common light sources: high pressure sodium lamp (HPS), metal halide lamp (MH), and light-emitting diode (LED), with a specially designed two-dimensional gonioreflectometer. The relative spectral reflectances are obtained with calculation for three different incident angles which indicate light sources with high output in the long wavelength region may be more effective. The measured average luminance coefficient for HPS and MH are 17% larger than that of LED. It means that LED road lamps need higher illuminance than HPS and MH to realize the same brightness for road lighting.

With advances in solid-state lighting, visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a promising technology to enhance existing light-emitting diode (LED)-based lighting infrastructure by adding data communication capabilities to the illumination functionality. The last decade has witnessed the evolution of the VLC concept through global standardisation and product launches. Deploying VLC systems typically requires replacing existing light sources with new luminaires that are equipped with data communication functionality. To save the investment, it is clearly desirable to make the most of the existing illumination systems. This paper investigates the feasibility of adding data communication functionality to the existing lighting infrastructure. We do this by designing an experimental system in an indoor environment based on an off-the-shelf LED panel typically used in office environments, with the dimensions of 60 × 60 cm2. With minor modifications, the VLC function is implemented, and all of the modules of the LED panel are fully reused. A data rate of 40 Mb/s is supported at a distance of up to 2 m while using the multi-band carrierless amplitude and phase (CAP) modulation. Two main limiting factors for achieving higher data rates are observed. The first factor is the limited bandwidth of the LED string inside the panel. The second is the flicker due to the residual ripple of the bias current that is generated by the panel’s driver. Flicker is introduced by the low-cost driver, which provides bias currents that fluctuate in the low frequency range (less than several kilohertz). This significantly reduces the transmitter’s modulation depth. Concurrently, the driver can also introduce an effect that is similar to baseline wander at the receiver if the flicker is not completely filtered out. We also proposed a solution based on digital signal processing (DSP) to mitigate the flicker issue at the receiver side and its effectiveness has been confirmed.

In the case of light-emitting diode (LED) seaport luminaires, they should be designed in consideration of glare, average illuminance, and overall uniformity. Although it is possible to implement light distribution through auxiliary devices such as reflectors, it means increasing the weight and size of the luminaire, which reduces the feasibility. Considering the special environment of seaport luminaires, which are installed at a height of 30 m or more, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the device, facilitate replacement, and secure a light source with a long life. In this paper, an optimized lens design was investigated to provide uniform light distribution to meet the requirement in the seaport lighting application. Four types of lens were designed and fabricated to verify the uniform light distribution requirement for the seaport lighting application. Using numerical analysis, we optimized the lens that provides the required minimum overall uniformity for the seaport lighting application. A theoretical analysis for the heatsink structure and shape were conducted to reduce the heat from the high-power LED light sources up to 250 W. As a result of these analyses on the heat dissipation characteristics of the high-power LED light source used in the LED seaport luminaire, the heatsink with hexagonal-shape fins shows the best heat dissipation effect. Finally, a prototype LED seaport luminaire with an optimized lens and heat sink was fabricated and tested in a real seaport environment. The light distribution characteristics of this prototype LED seaport luminaire were compared with a commercial high-pressure sodium luminaire and metal halide luminaire.
