Analysis of the Use Effectiveness of Lighting Lamps Type for Household Needs

Abstract

Lighting is very important in various activities in the household, so it becomes dominant in the review of electricity consumption needs. The problems faced by consumers in choosing the use of lighting generally only choose based on the type of lamp which is cheaper, without considering the quality of light and electrical energy used. This study aims to find profiles several types of lights based on the strength of the light produced, the use of electrical energy, and its sensitivity to lower voltage sources. The results of the study recommend a type of lamp that is considered efficient for users. The research method uses experimental approaches. The study was conducted by testing the strength of the light produced, the amount of electrical power used, and the sensitivity to lower voltage sources. Data collection techniques are carried out by measurement and testing. Data analysis was carried out with a quantitative approach and continued with qualitative analysis. The results showed that, (1) the types of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps produce better light power compared to Energy Saving Lights (ESL) at the same electrical power consumption, and (3) LED lighting components have better capability in facing a lower voltage source.
