LED lamp

tracked the amount of loads of laundry my family did as well as refrigeration use. As previously stated, being conscious of your actions is half of the battle. To begin, I first kept a log of how long the lights in bedroom are on. This averaged about 5.75 hours a day. I then replaced the standard incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient LED bulbs. More than “one-fifth of US electricity is used to power artificial lighting. Light-emitting diodes based on group III/nitride semiconductors are bringing about a revolution in energy efficient lighting” (Pimputkar, DenBaars, & Nakamura, 2015, pp.180). LED lights not only require less electricity to produce the same wattage of an incandescent light bulbs, but also features a longer life span. Based on my calculations, it costs $0.038 to run one standard incandescent light bulb. If you multiply that by the six light bulbs in the bedroom, it costs $0.22 a day. The cost of to light LED light bulb is $0.009 a day. If multiply that by the six lights in the bedroom is $0.05 a day. This is a savings of $0.04 per day. Figure 1. Shows the calculations for each type of bulb. The comparison shows that LED light bulbs are cheaper to light. The next aspect is temperature setting. As temperatures rise, the more work the air conditioner was used. The baseline data the temperature setting on the thermostat was set sixty-eight degrees. I have realized at the end of this project, this was not a energy conscious decision. Not only did I…

study done by OSRAM Opto “Worldwide, lighting accounts for approximately 19% of electricity consumption, corresponding to 2.4% of energy consumption. Replacing incandescents with LEDs would theoretically reduce global electricity consumption for lighting by 50%” this reduction of energy cost means that mankind could still keep using energy without being any where near as harmful to the earth as we have been (Kille). The breakthrough of LED is “potentially one of the biggest advancements in…

affects the operational cost of LED bulbs. The price in the market for an LED bulb is $8. The price is more expensive compared to CFL bulbs. However, this expense is recovered in a long run since LED bulbs consume less energy than CFL bulbs. Only one LED bulb is needed for 25,000 hours of use. The total cost of electricity for the same amount of hours and same rate is $30. In the end, the total operation cost of a 10 watt LED bulb ends up being $38. When comparing the two operational costs,…

Another study has shown that taking electrical devices, like a cell phone, to bed during the night can affect sleeping patterns. The handheld devices emit a blue LED light that tricks the brain into staying awake longer. The brain produces a chemical hormone called melatonin that prepares the body for sleep. The light from the screen however throw a person’s internal clock off and make them stay awake. Why does the blue light keep people up? A study in 2002 found that light signals in our eyes…

using, or selling their patented invention. It is possible for someone to make an invention using only the patent as a guide since the patent can not include any secrets. The term of a patent is usually 20 years from the date on which it has been issued. There has been many honored engineers in the past including Thomas Edison, that have attained a patent for their invention. Throughout his lifetime, Edison has patented more than a thousand of his inventions. Edison 's most famous patents were…

As it moves though the different time periods, and more importantly, adopting, modifying, the technology from civilization to civilization. We found in 4500 BC Oil lamps began to appear, and the next evolution in lamp technology came in 3000 BC, and this is when candles were known to be invented. Each generation adapting the lamp to its needs. 900 AD the kerosene lamp; 1780 improved the oil lamp efficiency to the draft flame. You can really see the lamp technology explode when each civilization…

What types of light can a light sensing BlueBot detect? Lights are used for many everyday tasks, and many days they go unnoticed. There are many types of lights, such as Ultraviolet, Infrared, fluorescent, and LED lights, and they all can do different things. Ultraviolet light can be used as a way to light up certain types of clothing, or it can be used to sterilize food. Infrared light is mainly used as a way to heat up food, or as a shorter wavelength to control household items, such as…

I had worked with this patient before in a group setting, but he didn’t appear as receptive to me then as he did today. This patient mentioned enjoying science experiments so I planned two diversional science activities and invited him to the playroom. The first activity we completed was creating a lava lamp with water, vegetable oil, food coloring, and fizzing tablets. The patient thoroughly enjoyed this activity and made an extra one for Mr. Guy as a belated birthday gift. He also displayed…

refrigerator. However, the rise of electricity was fraught with conflict over the type of electrical current. Starting in the 1870’s the fight over electric currents, dubbed the “War of Currents,” featured extensive propaganda, technological innovation, and intense competition. The Westinghouse Electric Company supported the alternating, or AC current, while the Edison Electric Company backed the older and lower-voltage direct, or DC current. While AC won out, the war had significant effects.…

MMED 3015-01 Prof. R. Muhlbock ___________________________________________________________________ Craft & Tool: Reverse Engineering Report By: Mat Bennett Introduction: The media work I have chosen to explore is Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven; arguably one of the most requested, referenced, and highly regarded rock ballads in the history of recorded music. The song was created as what was consciously the heart of their fourth studio album; aptly named, Led Zeppelin IV. This songs progeny…
