Energy-efficient lamps have become an essential part of modern lighting solutions, driven by growing
environmental concerns, rising energy costs, and technological advancements. These lamps offer reduced
energy consumption, longer lifespan, and better performance compared to traditional lighting options, such
as incandescent and fluorescent lamps. This literature review examines the various energy-efficient lamps
available, including Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), and emerging
technologies, along with their advantages and challenges.
Energy Efficiency: CFLs use about 70% less energy than incandescent bulbs for the same amount of
light output (Lumens).
Lifespan: CFLs last approximately 8 to 15 times longer than incandescent lamps, typically around 8,000
to 15,000 hours.
Environmental Impact: CFLs contain small amounts of mercury, which necessitates careful disposal and
recycling to prevent environmental contamination. However, advancements in mercury-free CFLs are
being made.
2. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
LED technology has rapidly advanced in recent years and is currently one of the most energy-efficient
and versatile lighting options. LEDs use a semiconductor to emit light when an electric current passes
through it.
Energy Efficiencyx: LEDs consume up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent lamps, offering
significant energy savings.
Lifespan: With a lifespan of 25,000 to 50,000 hours, LEDs last much longer than both CFLs and
incandescent bulbs.
Durability and Performance: LEDs are more durable, resistant to shock and vibration, and perform well
in a wide range of temperatures.
Environmental Impact: LEDs are free of toxic materials like mercury and are fully recyclable, making
them an environmentally friendly option.
Energy Efficiency: OLEDs are highly energy-efficient, though they are currently less efficient than
LEDs.
Lifespan: OLEDs offer a lifespan of approximately 15,000 to 25,000 hours, which is similar to LEDs
but shorter than CFLs.
Applications: OLEDs are widely used in display technology for televisions and smartphones, and have
potential applications in architectural lighting due to their ability to produce flexible, thin, and uniform
light panels.
Environmental Impact: OLEDs are free of harmful materials and are easier to recycle than traditional
light sources.
Energy Efficiency: Smart lighting allows for better control over energy use, often reducing consumption
by up to 30-50% through automation, dimming, and occupancy sensors.
Applications: These systems are used in homes, offices, and public spaces, with features such as motion
sensors, remote control via smartphone apps, and scheduling systems to further enhance efficiency.
5.0 Actual Methodology Followed (Write step wise work done, data collected and its analysis
(if any).The contribution of individual member may also be noted.)
1) INCANDESCENT LAMP.
1. Working Principle :
Incandescent lamps operate based on the principle of resistance heating. When an electric current flows
through the filament inside the bulb, the filament's resistance causes it to heat up to high temperatures
(around 2,200°C or 4,000°F). At these temperatures, the filament glows, emitting light.
Filament: Typically made of tungsten due to its high melting point and durability.
Bulb: The filament is encased in a glass bulb filled with an inert gas, like argon, or a vacuum to prevent
oxidation and extend the life of the filament.
2) HALOGEN LAMP :
They use the same technology as standard incandescent tungsten bulbs. The central filament is
heated and the surrounding gases brighten the red-hot glow to release more lumens. Halogen bulbs
get their name from the halogen gas that fills the glass globes. Apart from halogen, these bulbs (or
lamps) are sometimes infused with bromine, iodine, or other inert gases.
In halogen lamps, the ‘filler gas’ doesn’t directly touch the hot filament. The filament isenclosed in
a see-through glass envelope, which is in turn encased in a larger glass globe. Halogen bulbs are
smaller than tungsten bulbs and they last longer. They don’t get as hot to the touch because there’s
an extra layer of gas and glass between your
fingers and the source of heat and light.
The luminosity of halogen bulbs (they’re more often labeled as lamps) is roughly 12 to 15 lumens per
watt. This is a slight improvement on tungsten bulbs. So if you’d like to replace a 60W tungsten bulb with
a halogen lamp, you’re looking at a 40W to 45W halogen bulb. Halogen bulbs are sometimes mounted in
reflective cups to enhance lightdirection and intensity.
3) FLUORESCENT LAMP :
Fluorescent lights are popular in greenhouses because they provide illumination without interfering with
your plants’ temperature settings. But if you want high energyefficiency for your gardening needs, you
should probably opt for an LED grow light. It will reduce utility bills, and that’s essential since you’re
also spending on irrigation
systems, fertilizer, and pest control.
The luminosity levels on CFLs is 30 to 60 lumens per watt. Some fluorescents can produce as much as
90 lumens per watt. And because they’re fluorescent bulbs, they
release ‘cool light or ‘blue light’. This light is roughly 4,100°Kelvin (bright white or coolwhite). High-lumen
CFLs can get as high as 5,000°Kelvin to 6,500°Kelvin, which is the same as noon-time daylight.
4) LED LAMP :
These bulbs have become popular in recent years, so we think of them as ‘new tech’. But the first LED
bulb was invented in 1962 by Nick Holonyak Jr. and his colleagues atGeneral Electric (GE). Instead of
using heat to produce light, LEDs use photons. LED chips are far smaller than halogen filaments or
tungsten filaments and are sometimesmounted in doubles or triples.
The basis of an LED chip is a negative diode. When electricity passes through the diode, the electrons
release photons. These photons mingle to release light. Because it takes very little energy to release these
photons, and because their clashes produce so much light, LEDs end up being four to five times more
energy-efficient than their tungsten cousins.

The micro-project focused on developing an energy-efficient lamp provides a wide range of skills and
learning outcomes. Participants gain hands-on experience in engineering design and prototyping, particularly
with energy-efficient technologies like LEDs, smart features, and thermal management. They learn how to
conduct performance testing, analyze luminous efficacy, and optimize energy consumption. The project also
fosters sustainability awareness, as participants develop skills in selecting eco-friendly materials and
assessing environmental impacts, including reducing carbon footprints and promoting recycling.
Additionally, participants enhance project management skills by managing timelines, budgets, and
collaborating within a team. Market analysis skills are honed through identifying consumer needs and
developing strategies for promoting the product, while business acumen is gained through cost-benefit
analysis and manufacturing strategies. The integration of smart technology features also teaches participants
how to incorporate IoT elements into products. Finally, through reporting and presentations, participants
improve their communication and problem-solving abilities, ensuring they can effectively translate complex
technical concepts to diverse audiences. Overall, the micro-project offers a comprehensive learning
experience that combines technical, environmental, and business skills in the context of sustainable product
development.
1. Residential Lighting: Energy-efficient lamps can replace traditional bulbs, reducing electricity
consumption and costs for households.
2. Commercial and Industrial Use: Businesses can save on energy bills by switching to energy-
efficient lighting systems.
3. Smart Homes: Integrating smart lighting features like motion sensors and remote control
enhances convenience and energy savings.
4. Sustainability Initiatives: The project contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing
energy consumption and promoting recyclable materials in lighting products.
