changing the illumination schemes. Lighting plays a vital role in
buildings, affecting visual comfort, health, well-being, and work
performance. In the early days of modern lighting, incandescent and
fluorescent lamps were the main focus in illumination technology,
while now the lighting sector has experienced substantial
transformations. Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) are bringing a lighting
revolution to our cities not seen since the days of Thomas Edison.
Today LEDs are among the most efficient lighting sources available
and also provides additional advantages as a cool light, decreased
maintenance cost, more flexibility, easier handling, extremely reliable,
and have a much longer lifetime than almost all other types of
lighting. However, like any new technology, they face barriers to
adoption from a market unfamiliar with their benefits.
The case study is a university building in Korça city in
Albania. The study shows a huge energy saving potential with the
replacement of all existing conventional lightings (i.e., halogen and
fluorescent) scheme with the LED lighting scheme, and the payback
period is calculated to be less than four years. | Keywords : | | Lighting system, Light emitting diode (LED),
Fluorescent lamps, efficient lighting technology, power conservation,
payback period.
