Which of the following is NOT a benefit of energy-efficient lighting?

  1. Reduced energy consumption

  2. Improved light quality

  3. Increased maintenance costs

  4. Longer lamp life


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Energy-efficient lighting typically requires less maintenance than traditional lighting, as the lamps last longer and are less likely to fail.

What is the most important factor to consider when designing an energy-efficient lighting system?

  1. The type of lamp used

  2. The number of fixtures installed

  3. The layout of the space

  4. The amount of natural light available


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The layout of the space will determine how many fixtures are needed and where they should be placed to provide adequate lighting without wasting energy.

Which type of lamp is most energy-efficient?

  1. Incandescent

  2. Compact fluorescent (CFL)

  3. Light-emitting diode (LED)

  4. Halogen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

LEDs are the most energy-efficient type of lamp, using up to 85% less energy than incandescent bulbs.

What is the difference between efficacy and efficiency in lighting?

  1. Efficacy is the amount of light output per unit of power input, while efficiency is the amount of light output per unit of energy input.

  2. Efficacy is the amount of light output per unit of energy input, while efficiency is the amount of light output per unit of power input.

  3. Efficacy and efficiency are the same thing.

  4. Efficacy is a measure of how much light is lost due to absorption and reflection, while efficiency is a measure of how much light is produced by the lamp.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Efficacy is a measure of how efficiently a lamp converts electrical energy into light, while efficiency is a measure of how much of the light produced by the lamp is actually useful.

What is the recommended spacing between light fixtures for general lighting?

  1. 10 feet

  2. 15 feet

  3. 20 feet

  4. 25 feet


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The recommended spacing between light fixtures for general lighting is 15 feet.

What is the best way to control the amount of light in a space?

  1. Use dimmers

  2. Use occupancy sensors

  3. Use daylight sensors

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dimmers, occupancy sensors, and daylight sensors can all be used to control the amount of light in a space.

What is the most common mistake people make when installing energy-efficient lighting?

  1. Not using the right type of lamp

  2. Not installing enough fixtures

  3. Installing the fixtures in the wrong location

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are common mistakes people make when installing energy-efficient lighting.

What are some of the latest trends in energy-efficient lighting?

  1. The use of LEDs

What is the payback period for a typical energy-efficient lighting project?

  1. 1-2 years

  2. 3-5 years

  3. 5-7 years

  4. 7-10 years


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The payback period for a typical energy-efficient lighting project is 1-2 years.

What are some of the challenges to implementing energy-efficient lighting projects?

  1. High upfront costs
