Abstract | The lights we use at home are normally either tungsten or fluorescent lights. The efficiency of the tungsten lights is lower in that it can only transform 5% of its electricity consumption into light energy while the rest is emitted as heat energy. On the contrary, a fluorescent with the same lighting level can save up to 75% of electricity consumption and release less heat. |
