Comparative Study of Light Emitting Diode (LED), Compact Fluorescent (CF) and Incandescent Lamps (original) (raw)

2018, JSAER

This work focused on the comparison of incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and light emitting diode (LED) lamps, which intrinsically analysed the energy consumptions, energy consumption costs and relatively the savings that would be derived when the incandescent lamp is replaced equivalently with the energy efficient lamps. Furthermore, a thermal characteristics in terms of the average temperature, pragmatically estimated and recorded as a result of heat dissipation emanating from the various lamps for the purposes of making the best choice in lamp usage where also studied. Results showed that, incandescent lamp consume more energy which variably can make the consumer to pay high in electricity bill as compared to CFLs and LED lamps. Furthermore, results showed that, using energy efficient lamps, save costs and heat that would have being dissipated into the system as a result of the traditional lamps. It showed that, the estimated savings derived are as follows; N37555 on using 3W LED lamp, N31114 on using 9W CFL, N53679 using 5W LED lamp, N47138 using 11W CFL, N87035 using 8W LED lamp, N75252 using 20W CFL, N161814 using 24W LED lamp, and N147504 using 40W CFL when replaced with its equivalents incandescent lamps over 30,000 hours. Again, on one hours operation per day, it detailed that a consumer will pay N36.
