چکیده
The Lumina Project includes an Off-Grid Lighting Technology Assessment activity to provide manufacturers, resellers, program managers, and policymakers with information to help ensure the delivery of products that maximize consumer acceptance and the market success of off-grid lighting solutions for the developing world. Periodic Research Notes present new results in a timely fashion between the issuance of more formal and lengthy reports. Our results should not be construed as product endorsements by the authors.

survey effect of illuminance source on alertness in a laboratory design
Background and aims: Workplaces with poor lighting conditions often created occupational accidents or illness. This occurs because light cause visual and nonvisual effects on numerous physiological variables, such as the human sleep-wake cycle and cognitive performance. Indoor lighting conditions, as one aspect of the work environment, Influence on occupant’s mood, well-being, task performance ...
متن کاملThe Need for Independent Quality and Performance Testing of Emerging off - Grid White - Led Illumination Systems for Developing Countries
White light-emitting diode (WLED) lighting systems have recently attained levels of effi cien-cy and cost that allow them to compete with fl uo-rescent lighting for off-grid applications in the developing world, where about 1.6 billion people still lack access to the electricity grid. Additional attributes (lower cost, compactness, ruggedness, and service life) make WLED systems potentially sup...

In this research, performance of portfolios formed by use of grid strategy based on new variables (aggressive, indifference and defensive stocks) presented by Rahnamaye Roodposhti (1388), and traditional ones (growth, growth-value and value stocks), calculated with Sharpe and Treynor performance measures and tested by an Active portfolio management approach to identify the portfolios by perform...
متن کاملFrom carbon to light: a new framework for estimating greenhouse gas emissions reductions from replacing fuel-based lighting with LED systems
There is considerable well-intended, yet wishful anticipation about reducing greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fuel-based lighting in the developing world with grid-independent light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems. Most estimates gloss over important practical realities that stand to erode a genuinely significant potential. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is the leading system ...
متن کاملAn Isolated Off-Line High Power Factor Electrolytic Capacitor-Less LED Driver with Pulsating Output Current
One of the most efficient lighting technology is based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Common LED drivers with AC-input (50-60Hz) usually require a bulk electrolytic capacitor to decrease low-frequency ripple in the output. However, the critical element that limits the lifespan of the LED driver is the electrolytic capacitor. An isolated off-line LED driver is proposed in this paper, in which ...
