Street Lighting with Led Bulbs for the Faculty of Electronics and Electrical Engineering National University of San Marcos

Abstract

This project concerns the desing and construction of public lighting with LED (light-Emitting Diode), the purpose is to iluminate the front of the auditorium and the entrance courtyard, wich have poor lighting. LED lamps are proposed for use because of its efficiency, since 90% of the electrical energy consume is converted into light, while other forms of lighting have reach a 10% efficiency, the remaining 90% is lost in heat.

In addition, the LED is extremly durable, suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, produces low power consumption, low heat generation (cold light), has between 50,000 to 100,000 hours life, power is instant, 100% organic without generating mercury vapors do not produce infra-red or ultra violet. In this sense, the proposed prototype is great energy saving cost with efficient lighting and high quality, showing that you have to let go of the other artificial light such as incadescent and fluorescent lamps.
