Estudio del desempeño de focos de iluminación domestica

Abstract

Artificial light greatly affects our performance in the environment, being long under it, it is important to make a choice of which is most convenient for us, based on qualities that we seek in them. Incandescent luminaires were the ones that dominated the market for a long time, but they turn out to be the least effective and even uncomfortable in environments. Fluorescent luminaires, on the other hand, are much more comfortable and have better qualities that allow them to function naturally in spaces, but they have a clear disadvantage in containing mercury inside. LED luminaires are essential if you want to choose effective and versatile sources, that can satisfy the different needs of consumers and fulfill the qualities that they require. Despite this, it is important to know the performance of the luminaires. In this work presents the comparison between these three types of luminaires, comparing their efficiency, photometric, colorimetric and electrical characteristics. We compare an incandescent bulb, two fluorescent lamps (savers) and seven LED luminaires, all equivalent to 60W. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clear advantages and disadvantages with special emphasis on the LED luminaires that currently dominate the market.
