CHOOSING THE RIGHT LIGHT BULBS FOR YOUR CHANDELIER

You have just purchased that fabulous chandelier that you have been mulling over for ages. The cost was high but you convinced yourself that it is a sound investment and you went for a high quality chandelier on the basis that it would be in the family for generations to come. The chandelier is grandiose and ornamented with a multitude of crystal trimmings that reflect light with all colours of the rainbow in a beautiful fashion around the hallway. You have the perfect position for the chandelier and you have carefully chosen your design scheme to complement the traditional elegance of the chandelier. The only issue is that it has 24 light bulbs which if you calculate the power consumption at 40 watts a light bulb is a massive 960 watts which is nearly a kilowatt. That is the power consumption of an electric heater which cannot be good for your electricity bills or indeed for the environment. So what do you do.?
Lets look at some of the choices.

Halogen Bulbs

Halogen Bulbs are definitely the perfect solution from an aesthetic perspective . halogen bulbs in chandelier. The simple clear lines and elegant flame tip of the candle bulb complement the chandelier and the clear bright light will ensure that you maximise the sparkle from the crystal. So now you have the perfect light bulb from visual point of view and the halogen bulb will save 30% in energy when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. But that is still a lot of power so the answer here is to fit a dimmer switch and use dimmable halogen bulbs and this way you can not only adjust the light level to the perfect setting, but also you will save energy. Just a word of warning, make sure that the wattage rating of your dimmer switch is sufficient for all your halogen bulbs.

CFL

If your focus is to save more energy saving both in electircity costs and contributing further to environmental sustainability then you will need to move to CFL technology and go for a energy saving candle bulb with a flame tip. The looks are not as good as the halogen bulb but the CFL will save you a much greater 80% in energy costs against the traditional filament light bulb.

LED Bulbs

If you are looking for the ultimate in energy conservation then you need to go for a LED bulb and if you select the LED Candle Bulbswith a flame tip. Again the bulb is not quite so elegant as the halogen as is is slightly broader and these ones have a multitude of separate LED lights which give a high technology appearance but the environmental benefits are most impressive. These bulbs only consume 3 watts in power each and will produce the light output of a traditional 25 watt light bulb so for our 24 light chandelier example that is 72 watts consumption against 600 watts which is simply amazing.

HOW MUCH CO2 DOES A LIGHT BULB CREATE?

You might well be confused by all this talk about Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and light bulbs. Why do the government and environmental authorities say that the move to energy saving light bulbs is so important and why has legislation been put in place to progressively ban the incandescent light bulb. Some people say, a light bulbs is a sealed glass unit so how can it produce any CO2 anyway?

Well it is not the light bulb itself but it is the CO2 created in the generation of the electricity that the light bulb consumes. Now clearly the amount of C02 created will depend on the type and the efficiency of the power station which is worst for coal power stations but if your electricity is generated by wind power then your light bulb will not be responsible for creating any CO2 at all during its operation. But right now the majority of electricity is generated by coal powered stations so lets look at the figures for those.

Average CO2 emissions (in Grams) for generating 1KWh electricity (by source):

Source Grams of CO2 produced
Coal 870
Oil 650
Natural gas 487
Nuclear energy 16
Hydropower 20
Wind energy 11

Source – Gridwatch.co.uk

Lighting Technology (800 Lumens) Daily Kwh Consumed (@8hr) Annual Kwh Consumed (@8hr/day) Co2 Produced (Coal Based Power Generation)
Incandescent (60 Watts) 0.48 175.2 152.42 Kg
Halogen (42 Watts) 0.34 124.1 107.96 Kg
CFL (14 Watts) 0.11 40.15 34.93 Kg
LED (9 Watts) 0.07 25.55 22.23 Kg

Power Station Pollutants

The 3 main pollutants produced by a powers station are:-

  1. Sulphur Dioxide, which is responsible for acid rain, is produced at 20 tons per year for a 1 Mega Watt mini electricity generating station
  2. Nitrogen Oxide, which is responsible for smog, is produced at 20 tons for a 1 Mega Watt mini electricity generating station
  3. Carbon Dioxide CO2, which is thought to be responsible for global warning, is produced at 7500 tons for 1 Mega Watt mini electricity generating station

Now when you consider that a typical commercial electricity generating station would be 500 Mega Watt capacity then it is clear to see that the burning of coal produces massive amounts of pollutants.

Then looking at CO2 in more detail, if you had a 100 watt light bulb and left it on all year then the generating station would create 750kg of CO2 during that year. Now it is unlikely that you would have a light bulb on continuously by lets say you have the light bulb on for 4 hours each day then that is still responsible for the creation of 125kg of CO2. So that means that if you change your light bulb for an energy saving CFL which will only consume 80% of the energy then you will help save the environment by reducing CO2 emissions by 100kg every year.

Then to put this in perspective in 2007 around 19% of all electricity generated was used for lighting purposes which is a very significant proportion. This means that a reduction in energy consumption in lighting has a major impact on overall CO2 emissions.

The other key fact to put this into perspective is that electricity generation account for around 70% of the CO2 emissions for cars and three times the total emissions from aviation as quoted by the International Energy Association (IEA). Clearly with these statistics then the migration from the incandescent light bulb to the energy saving light bulb will be a major contributor in reducing CO2 and global warming.

LED Drivers : All You Need To Know

An LED driver refers to an electrical device that regulates the power supply to a string or LED. It responds to the changing needs of the LED device by providing a consistent amount of power as its electrical properties vary with temperature.

With outputs that are compatible with the electrical features of the LED, a LED driver may offer dimming through pulse width modulation circuits and may include several channels for separate control of various LEDs/LED arrays. Without the right drivers, LED fixtures may become extremely hot and unstable, thus causing poor performance or even permanent failure.

The shape of your LED light bulb determines the style of the room plus its holder. So, depending on your style, you can either choose Omnidirectional, Flood reflector, or even Flame tip LED bulbs.

Finding the right LED bulb shape is part of your room’s aesthetics. So, get the right brand with the right characteristics. For instance, a golf LED bulb will spread its light in 360-degrees, making it ideal in golf courts.

7. Quality matters

Ensure that the quality of the LED bulb you buy is superior. You’ll not want to buy something and after a few days, it’s spoilt.

8. Think lumens, not watts

EnergyEfficiencyOfLightBulbs

Don’t purchase your bulb by the number of watts. With the new technologies focusing on energy-efficiency, LED bulbs can now emit the same light amount for less power.

The Bottom-line: Lighting Your Home

Most living rooms require general, ambient LED lighting complemented by unique task-explicit accent lighting.

Thus, getting ambient lighting for your room will radiate an entirely comfortable amount of brightness. Always ensure that all your rooms are supplied with a central ambient LED lighting source.

Additionally, install a task LED lighting system that is easily switched on & off –depending on your preferences & needs. For instance, bulbs for reading & sewing should have an elaborate control system. Moreover, don’t forget to include an explicit on and off switch or bulbs that give extra light over your kitchen benches as well as bathroom mirrors.

Accent lighting, when done right, are powerful at emphasizing paintings, gardens or house plants, and even collectibles.

A Guide to Lux Levels

LUX 1Light Level, also referred to as Illuminance, represents the amount of light that is measured on a surface (which is plane). Or, it can be described as the total luminous flux incident that strikes on a plane surface. It is measured per unit area and is commonly known as LUX.

Understanding LUX

LUX, also called DIALux is increasingly becoming popular in the modern world. You can now plan in DIALux with great luminaires from the world’s most renowned manufacturers and enjoy ultimate freedom in the lighting design process.

Benefits of LUX

Featuring professional light planning, LUX is extremely simple and effective. It utilizes the latest luminaire data and state-of-the-art software that’s always available for free. The colored light scenes with light emitting diodes (LED) are energy efficient and guarantee excellent illumination for all your buildings including outdoor spaces.

Recommended LUX Levels

The level of lighting in the outdoor is approximated to be 10,000 lux, albeit on a normal, clear day. However, for a building, especially in the areas that are closer to windows, the LUX levels may possibly be reduced to 1,000 lux. On the other hand, the middle area may register a 25 – 50 lux. Consequently, you may need additional lighting equipment to compensate for these low levels. For precision & detailed works, the level of light may range between 1500 to 2000 lux.

LUX 2In homes– The recommended illumination levels for homes is often 150 lux. The living and dining rooms may work pretty well with about 25 to 50 lux.

Supermarkets– Working spaces like supermarkets and mechanical rooms require light levels of about 750 lux.

In offices– The normal workstation requires 500 LUX while the ADP area and conference rooms require 500 LUX and 300LUX respectively. The auditorium requires 150-200 LUX while the training room and internal corridors should be supplied with 500 LUX and 200 LUX respectively.

The table below represents the light levels for different workspaces.

Activity Illumination

(Lux, lumen/m2)

Public areas featuring dark surroundings

recommended

20-50
Warehouses, theaters, homes, archives 150
Simple orientation meant for short visits 50-100
Working areas involving occasional visual tasks 100-150
Easy classes 250
Showrooms, normal office work, a study library, PC works 500
Detailed drawing and mechanical work, operation theaters 1,000
Supermarkets, office landscapes 750
Performance of prolonged & exacting visual tasks 5000-10000
Performance of extremely special visual activities of very low contrast & small size 10000-20000

 Factors Affecting the Effectiveness of Illumination

The effectiveness of illumination is usually affected by several factors, including light quantity & quality, contrast, amount of flicker, shadows, and intensity of glare. To optimize illumination in security, emergency, and safety situations, consider adjusting each factor differently. Lighting standards also play an important role in the design, installation, durability, and efficient distribution of illumination.

Measuring and stimulating Light Level – Illuminance

Illuminance is measured in foot candles (ftcd, fc, fcd) or lux (in the metric SI system). A foot candle is actually one lumen of light density per square foot; one lux is one lumen per square meter.

•        1 lux = 1 lumen / sq. meter = 0.0001 phot = 0.0929 foot candle (ftcd, fcd)

•        1 phot = 1 lumen / sq. centimeter = 10000 lumens / sq. meter = 10000 lux

•        1 foot candle (ftcd, fcd) = 1 lumen / sq. ft. = 10.752 lux

Calculating Illumination

Illumination is calculated using the formula = Ll Cu LLF / Al (1). In this formula, I denotes illumination (measured in lux, i.e. lumen per m2), Ll represents lumens/ lamp (i.e. lumen), Cu is the coefficient of utilization, while LLF is light loss factor and Al is the area/ lamp (measured in m2).

Light Planning: The Steps

Light planning is a five-step process. The actual process involves:

  • Planning objective analysis
  • Planning conditions analyses
  • Overall planning
  • Detailed planning
  • Documentation

Understanding Glare

Glare can be categorized into two groups: discomfort and disability glare. The level of discomfort glare can be measured by determining the glare index in accordance to the UGR method. This is often graded on a scale, which ranges between 13 and 28 where the greater the glare index the greater the degree of glare. The smallest variation in the glare index designating a significant difference is three.

Reflections from reflective glare or materials can usually be avoided by adopting the following strategies:

·         Choosing convenient luminaire positioning

·         Using materials for all reflective surfaces

·         Selecting fixture with effective screening and low luminous intensity

·         Picking out luminaires with a bigger surface area

·         Choosing light colors for your ceilings and walls

Balance is key

LUX3A well-balanced luminance is essential to boost visual clarity, effectiveness of the ocular functions of the eye, and contrast sensitivity. You should always avoid high luminance which can cause glare, intense luminance contrasts that may cause visual tiredness, and low luminance contrasts, which trigger a staid atmosphere that doesn’t stimulate.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE G9 LED

The History and Uses of the G9 Halogen

The G9 lamp is used extensively in lighting these days. The real advantage of the G9 is the small size which can be a real benefit in decorative lighting. In the olden days the light source of chandeliers was wax candles and these were a real feature of the chandelier. This has now created a strong demand for decorative candle light bulbs but even these can be too obtrusive for modern lighting. If the beauty of a decorative light is in its design and artistic nature,  then the illumination then needs to be as discrete as possible and it was through this need that the G9 was created. With traditional filament light bulbs then it was not possible to create miniature lamps but with the advancement of halogen technology technology then tiny lamps were possible as shown here.halogen_energy_saving_capsule_g9
This is a G9 33w Halogen with a clear cover which is a very popular lamp. It produces a significant light output typically 350 lumens which for the miniature size has an excellent lumens to size ratio.

Whilst the halogen is functionally good is does have two major drawbacks. Firstly the nature of halogen lamp technology means that the lifetime is limited to a maximum of 2000 hours. Secondly they are inefficient as 90% or the electricity is converted to heat as opposed to light which is clearly what is needed from a light bulb.

The LED G9

The LED G9 has a number of major benefits over the Halogen G9. The main advantage is that it only uses 10% of the electricity of its predecessor. However the main issue with this technology is that they are significantly larger and this can often be problematic as often they will not fit into the lighting fixture.  As stated previously then the main reason for a lighting manufacturer to select these miniature capsules  is their compact size and this can be negated if the lamp is too large. The early LED G9s were all of quite large proportions as pictured here.

led_g9_4-5w_dimTypically this lamp would be 35mm in diameter which would mean that it is prohibitively large for a number of lighting applications. With the advancement of the LED technology then the size of the  lamps has reduced significantly and now it is possible to get a 5w LED G9 which is of much smaller proportions. The one shown here is 60mm in length but just 18mm diameter.led_g9_4-5w_slim_dim

Whilst this is not as small as the halogen G9 it is now of an acceptable size for a number of decorative lighting fixtures.  It is also possible to obtain LED filament versions and whilst these are quite small again then they are not inherently as reliable as the SMD LEDs. The other more recent development is to introduce dimmable technology. This was not important with the early LED G9 as they were not very bright and accordingly there was not a great necessity to dim the lamps. However with the brighter versions then the dimming capability can be very beneficial to create effective ambience in a room.
