Which lighting change reduced electrical load significantly?

  • A.Larger bulbs
  • B.High intensity discharge lamps, which use less power than a filament lamp of the same output and last far longer
  • C.Light emitting diode lamps in place of filament bulbs
  • D.Halogen lamps in place of tungsten, which produce a whiter light and therefore require a smaller current to operate

Answer: C

Light emitting diodes use a fraction of the power of filament lamps for the same output. Discharge lamps genuinely are more efficient than halogen too, which makes the last option a real if smaller improvement. Halogen offered brightness rather than economy. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb.
