What are the benefits of energy efficiency beyond saving money?
Energy efficiency in lighting is the ability to use less energy to produce the same amount of light output, with the same quality and performance. Technological advances in the past decade have improved the energy efficiency of lamps and ballasts by 30%-60%, resulting in lower utility bills and reduced environmental impacts.
Energy-efficient lamps can save money on monthly electric bills. Using less energy reduces emissions of carbon dioxide, air-borne mercury,…
Will reducing the line voltage save energy?
Filament Light Sources:
Incandescent and Halogen Lamps – Reduced line voltage will save energy. How much? The answer is related roughly to the square of the reduced line voltage. For example, a 10% reduction yields 90% (0.90) of the original line voltage and 90%2 = 81%. Therefore, the energy savings is approximately 19% (100% - 81%) for a 10% line reduction.
Discharge Light Sources:
Fluorescent Lamps – Some electronic ballasts…
