WHAT IS GREEN LIGHTING CONCEPT AND WHY ITS IMPORTANT?
Could we have some facts and figures about LED lighting, like availability of fixtures - different types, usage and wattage, lumens per watt (incandescent equivalence), cost of fixtures, life of fixtures, special equipment needed (and their cost) like ballasts, converters, transformers, rectifiers etc. ?
Green Lighting as name suggest should use Renewable energy sources majorily.It can be Solar lighting-but expensive then LED-No yet development in Nascent then CFL_Oh ! No they contains more Hg than human body can absorb,the resaerch on CFl lighting by Greenpeace UK is startling-no safe disposal yet for CFL--then what--would suggest converting sunlight into light source.This would not only give light in afternonns imrove well being and obviously save cost.The lux level our resrch shows is 500 lux at ht of 8mts thus replacing 250w High bay.
Thr recent recommendations by BEE and TERI in India is encouraging and standarisation codes of Green lighting is being set up.A ministerial borad has already framed the regulations,not to forget the LEED green Rating systemAlso Infosys India has added some innovative measures in achieving ZERO CDM by installing some innovative and practical measures to save their eenrgy tariff.They have in fact created a dedicated cell for Green technology.GOI is making manadatoiry of energy audits in BPO and Govt Buidings.The new bill contemplates that 10% of lighting load shoul come from RE sources and that is law.Period.
Green lighting perse cannoit come only with light sources.A holistic approach to seeing buidings and designing has to be thought of.We need architects with a sense for environment and the client accepting or atleat willing to take the step forward.

Lighting will shift to compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) or LED-based (Light Emitting Diodes) lights & T5s (latest version of fluorescent tube). They consume less power and last longer, and you spend less on backup. Green lighting is one way to ensure this. It involves the maximum utilization of building design, materials, colours, light sources, electronics, systems, etc, to make lighting effective and energy conservative.

fully agreed with Sudeep. |
Love is only Love, love and love. There is no true or false love. If its not true its not love ... its something else. |
Take shower before dinner,take light food with fruits and juices. Don't do any physical hard work before bed and read some good articles or short stories. |
