Basics
- This is the Energy Waste from leaving lights on, or lighting a space inefficiently
Forms
Leaving Lights On
- Either due to conveince or user error lights can be left on
- Also leaving them on during the day can be a source
- Thus the device is consuming energy when it may not have to
Innefficient Lighting
- This can be either
- Inneficient Sources (see Luminous Efficacy )
- Inneficient Light Distribution
Solutions
Leaving Lights On
- PSAs and User Awareness
- Automatic Light Switches
Inneficient Lighting
- Use leds whenever possible
- POSSIBLY Sulfur Lamps in high lumen applications (if developed more)
- Design Considerations:
- How much light is really needed
- Multiple Levels of Lighting (Instead of Light Room or Dark Room, a lit table and dark room, or lit corner via table lamp etc, and using these accordingly)
- Night Modes (Dim Lights according to time of day, and have dedicated nightlights for navigation as it gets darker rather than having to fully light the room)
