Energy basics
– Power versus Energy

Kilowatt (kW) is a measure of power, like
the speedometer of your car that records
the rate at which miles are traveled.
Source: stock.xchng
• A bigger engine is required to travel at a faster rate.


Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a measure of
energy consumption, like the odometer
on your car (miles).
Energy cost = power (kW) x time (hrs) x price
= kWh x $/kWh
Source: Commonwealth of Kentucky
• A 113-watt four lamp light fixture costs about $66 annually
when operating 16 hr/day (113 W x 5,840 hr x $0.10/kWh ÷
1,000 W/kW).
5
Energy basics
– Lights do not consume more energy when they
are first turned on.

Includes high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting.
– Pay the price for improved energy efficiency!

The operating cost over the lifetime of a light fixture
can far exceed the original purchase price.
6
Fundamentals of light
– Lumens—A measure of the perceived
power of light.

Constant output regardless of distance from source.
– Foot-candle—One lumen of light distributed over a
square foot area.



Depends on the distance from the light source.
Does not hold for focused fixtures like flood lamps.
Can be measured using light meter.
7
Lighting comparison
– Lighting has many metrics.




60-watt incandescent ~ 850 lumens (100 CRI) ~ 14 lpw
efficacy
32-watt T8 fluorescent ~ 2,800 lumens (83 CRI) ~ 88 lpw
400-watt metal halide ~ 24,000 lumens (65 CRI) ~ 60 lpw
400-watt high-pressure sodium ~ 45,000 lumens (22 CRI) ~
112 lpw
8
Incandescent / halogen
– 90% heat and 10% light (10 to 17 lumens
per watt)
– Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007
establishes higher minimum efficiency standards for
incandescent reflector lamps
(R lamps).
– Parabolic Aluminized Reflector
(PAR#) lamps

BR# (Bulged) and ER# (Ellipsoidal)
• # —the diameter of the widest part
of the lamp in eighths of an inch
(R20 = 20/8 = 2.5" diameter)
• EISA applies to > 2.25 " diameter
9
Incandescent / halogen
– Flood lights

Beam angle encompasses that part
of the beam that varies from peak |
brightness down to 50% of that intensity
as measured in a plane through the
nominal beam centerline.
– New halogen bulbs offer up to
30% energy savings, instant on,
no mercury, 100 CRI, and
compliance with EISA 2007.

Programmed start (in series)
• Long preheat shuts down after start (up to 50,000 cycles).
• Can be wired in parallel

Rapid start (in series)
• Simultaneous preheat stays on all the time (15,000 to 20,000 cycles).
• Identified by 2-wires from ballast to each end of lamp.

Instant start (in parallel)
• No-preheat; high-voltage start (10,000 to 15,000 cycles).
• Identified by 1-wire from ballast to each end of lamp.
• Not good with occupancy sensors (<30 minute burn).

– Fluorescent ballasts

Magnetic (60 Hz)
• Core and coil

Electronic (20 to 60 kHz)
• 10% to 15% more efficient
• NEMA Premium® Ballasts even better

All ballasts consume power even without lamps (2-lamp example).
• Electronic consumes 6 to 12 watts loaded and 3 to 7 watts open circuit.
• Magnetic consumes 18 to 20 watts loaded and 6 to 10 watts open circuit.
– Regulatory driver for electronic ballasts (T8 and T5 lamps)

No magnetic ballasts manufactured for replacement after June 2010.

2009 DOE Energy Regulations—Beginning July 14, 2012, these regulations
effectively eliminate most 4-ft T12, 8-ft (F96) T12 lamps, and 700 series (1st
generation) T8 lamps
17
Fluorescent
– Metal Halide (MH) versus Fluorescent for High-bay

Probe start (PS) MH with low lumen maintenance (<65%) is
best target for replacement.
• EISA2007 imparts higher performance standards for PS MH.
• The lumen maintenance of metal halides can decrease
to 45% during its lifetime, whereas fluorescents maintain 90% to 95%
in optimal conditions.

Comparison
• One PS MH with 20,000 EOL lumens at 320 system watts
• Six F32T8 with 18,000 EOL lumens at 220 system watts

Remember—lumen output of fluorescents declines with
heat/cold.








You get the same or more light output (lumens) with a 75%
energy reduction and over six times the rated life!
Up to 9,000 lumen output at 120 watts
(PL-H high 4-pin)
Energy savings far outweigh difference in lamp price.
Power factor is typically 0.6, but power savings
far outweighs low power factor.
Issue of mercury content can be addressed.
Use reflector flood CFLs (R-CFLs) in recessed
can lights.
Consider aluminum reflector CFL PAR lamps.

Solid state lighting
– Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

Electrical current driver circuit instead of ballast.

Relatively low lumens per watt (30 to 35 lpw) historically,
but now 45 to 60 lpw.

Long life; years, not hours.
• 70% lumen maintenance at 50,000 hours of operation.

Frequent switching does not affect rated life for LEDs
as it does for fluorescents.

Directional nature of LED results in
very high luminaire efficacy.
Very compact and low-profile.
Nothing to “break.”
No abrupt failure mode.

– Dimming




A solid-state dimmer works by using
silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs).
Radio frequency interference (RFI)
can be a problem.
Greatly increases bulb life for
incandescent/halogens.
Requires special dimming ballast for fluorescents.
• 3-wire, 2-wire, or 4-wire.
• Energy savings fairly linear with fluorescents.
• Continuous or bi-level dimming

HID lighting limited to 50% to 60% dimming.
• Two-level for magnetic ballasts (non-linear energy savings).
• Continuous for electronic ballasts (energy savings linear).
• Lamp life degrades if dimming to less than 60% level.
