The big challenge of the nation is the rising demand for power. The solution is to not just increase investment and enhance power generation, which is a prime need anyways, but invest in more efficient power distribution and optimize power consumption through use of efficient technology. An important component of power consumption worldwide is lightning. India is no different. Global trends in outdoor lighting shows that 18-38% of the total energy bill goes towards outdoor lighting and therefore this is one domain that needs major attention if we look at improving efficiency of power consumption with an objective of saving energy. T5 tube lights with electronic ballast are the best available fluorescent tube light options in the market. A T8 tube light with electromagnetic ballast typically consumes 38W of electricity but a T5 with electronic ballast will consume only 28W of electricity. Thus a T5 provides about 26% electricity saving over a regular T8tubelight.  The audit on (68 No’s) T8 tube lights versus T5 tube lights has been done based on the total energy consumption, replacement cost, annual cost saving and payback period.

Abstract


The big challenge of the nation is the rising demand for power. The solution is to not just increase investment and enhance power generation, which is a prime need anyways, but invest in more efficient power distribution and optimize power consumption through use of efficient technology. An important component of power consumption worldwide is lightning. India is no different. Global trends in outdoor lighting shows that 18-38% of the total energy bill goes towards outdoor lighting and therefore this is one domain that needs major attention if we look at improving efficiency of power consumption with an objective of saving energy. T5 tube lights with electronic ballast are the best available fluorescent tube light options in the market. A T8 tube light with electromagnetic ballast typically consumes 38W of electricity but a T5 with electronic ballast will consume only 28W of electricity. Thus a T5 provides about 26% electricity saving over a regular T8tubelight.  The audit on (68 No’s) T8 tube lights versus T5 tube lights has been done based on the total energy consumption, replacement cost, annual cost saving and payback period.
