• Forms of Heat Transfer– Conduction is the transfer of heat energy between objects that are in

contact• touching a hot iron is one form of conduction

– Convection is a mechanism for heat transfer in gases and liquids; it requires air or liquid movement to transfer heat

• a hair dryer moves heat this way

– Radiation is the transfer of heat in the infrared spectrum, and will occur even in the vacuum of space

• Best Uses– Glitter, sparkle effects– Accent or focal lighting– Creation of warm ambiance

• Design Issues:– Lowest efficacy

(10-20 lm/W)– Short lamp life

Compact Fluorescent – Summary• Advantages:

– Compact size– High efficacy

(up to 60 lm/W)– High CRI– Long life (up to 12,000 h)– High frequency operation– Excellent lumen maintenance

• Design Issues:– Position sensitive– Thermally sensitive– Requires ballast– Special ballast required to

dim– Higher initial cost than

incandescent

•Best Uses– Workhorse for general lighting

–Residential, Commercial– Sconces, pendant, or ceiling mounted decorative luminaires

High Intensity Discharge (HID)

• Electric arc between electrodes• Tube filled with both gas and salts• Heats materials to form a plasma• Like fluorescents, requires ballast

High Pressure Sodium - Summary• Advantages:

– High efficacy (>140 lm/W)– Long life (24,000 h)– Universal burning position– Wide range of wattages– Good lumen maintenance– Good restrike time (among HIDs)

• Design Issues:– Warm/restrike up time– Poor color– Cycling– Expensive to dim, with limited

performance– Strobe effects

•Best uses– Street lighting– Applications where color is not important

LED - Summary• Advantages:

– Long lamp life (up to 50,000 h)

– Color efficient– Dimmable– Instant on– Many colors, including white

• Design Issues:– Low efficacy white light

source (40 - 60 lm/W)

– Expensive first cost– Heat dissipation– Low lumens per lamp– Lamp lumen

depreciation

Best Uses:– Colored light and special effects lighting– Situations where maintenance is difficult or costly– Signage

Ballasts

•Required for all discharge lamps– Fluorescent– High Intensity Discharge

•What does a ballast do?– Supplies sufficient voltage to start the lamp– Regulates (limits) the arc current – Heats lamp electrodes, in some cases

Ballasts: Magnetic vs. Electronic

Magnetic• 120 switches per second• Audible hum• Visible flicker• Inefficient• Heavy

Electronic• 10,000+ switches per second• No hum• Invisible flicker• 20%+ more efficient• Light
