Energy estimation and photometric measurements of LED lighting in laboratory

Electricity demand is prevailing all over the world now and energy management becomes very complex. This paper aims at providing solution for power demand and energy management by using HB white LED lights for domestic applications. LED lights consume very less power and gives out high energy in the form of brightness. A laboratory model is created in DIALUX 4.11 using CAD window and is illuminated with LED lights. Photometric measurements and energy evaluation are done for the laboratory model with room components of different construction materials in the presence of LED lighting. Reflectivity of different materials under illumination is determined. Simulation is done for varying brightness and calculated results are carried over to Pov-Ray 3.6 for determining the real lighting appearance of the laboratory model. Energy evaluation is done for a year and photometric values of lighting system are measured. The calculated results proves that LED lighting system can be used as an efficient lighting system for domestic purposes when compared to other lighting systems. Simulated results and photometric values of LED lighting are presented here.
