Which lighting control strategy involves adjusting the light output based on occupancy or daylight availability?

  1. Dimming

  2. Motion sensors

  3. Daylight harvesting

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dimming, motion sensors, and daylight harvesting are all lighting control strategies that can be used to adjust light output based on occupancy or daylight availability, resulting in energy savings.

What is the term used to describe the amount of light emitted by a light source in relation to the energy consumed?

  1. Luminous efficacy

  2. Color temperature

  3. CRI (Color Rendering Index)

  4. Beam angle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Luminous efficacy is the measure of how efficiently a light source converts electrical energy into visible light.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of energy-efficient lighting fixture?

  1. T5 fluorescent tubes

  2. Incandescent bulbs

  3. LED downlights

  4. Induction lighting


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
