Which type of lighting is the most energy-efficient?

  1. Incandescent

  2. CFL

  3. LED

  4. Halogen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

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

What is the difference between a CFL and an LED bulb?

  1. CFLs use less energy than LEDs.

  2. LEDs last longer than CFLs.

  3. CFLs contain mercury, while LEDs do not.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

CFLs use less energy than incandescent bulbs, but more energy than LEDs. LEDs last longer than CFLs, and CFLs contain mercury, while LEDs do not.

What is the CRI of a light bulb?

  1. The color temperature of the light.

  2. The brightness of the light.

  3. The energy efficiency of the light.

  4. The ability of the light to accurately render colors.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

CRI stands for Color Rendering Index, and it measures how well a light source can accurately render colors.

What is the difference between warm white and cool white light?

  1. Warm white light is more energy-efficient than cool white light.

  2. Cool white light is brighter than warm white light.

  3. Warm white light has a higher CRI than cool white light.

  4. Warm white light is more flattering to skin tones than cool white light.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Warm white light has a lower color temperature than cool white light, and it is more flattering to skin tones.

How many lumens do you need for a room?

  1. 100 lumens per square foot

  2. 200 lumens per square foot

  3. 300 lumens per square foot

  4. 400 lumens per square foot


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A good rule of thumb is to use 300 lumens per square foot for general lighting.

What is the best way to choose the right energy-efficient lighting for your home?

  1. Consider the size of the room.

  2. Consider the amount of natural light in the room.

  3. Consider the type of activities that will be performed in the room.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When choosing energy-efficient lighting for your home, you should consider the size of the room, the amount of natural light in the room, and the type of activities that will be performed in the room.

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

  1. Reduced energy consumption

  2. Longer bulb life

  3. Improved indoor air quality

  4. Increased light output


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Energy-efficient lighting typically uses less energy to produce the same amount of light as traditional lighting, so it does not increase light output.

What is the payback period for energy-efficient lighting?

  1. Less than 1 year

  2. 1-2 years

  3. 2-3 years

  4. More than 3 years


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The payback period for energy-efficient lighting is typically 1-2 years, depending on the type of lighting and the amount of use.

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

  1. LED

  2. CFL

  3. Incandescent

  4. Halogen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Incandescent bulbs are not energy-efficient because they use a lot of energy to produce light.

What is the most important factor to consider when choosing energy-efficient lighting?

  1. The price of the bulb

  2. The brightness of the bulb

  3. The energy efficiency of the bulb

  4. The brand of the bulb


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The most important factor to consider when choosing energy-efficient lighting is the energy efficiency of the bulb.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using LED lighting?

  1. Long lifespan

  2. High energy efficiency

  3. Low heat output

  4. Dimmability


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

LED lighting is not as dimmable as other types of lighting, such as incandescent or CFL.

What is the difference between a PAR and a BR bulb?

  1. PAR bulbs are used for recessed lighting, while BR bulbs are used for track lighting.

  2. PAR bulbs are used for outdoor lighting, while BR bulbs are used for indoor lighting.

  3. PAR bulbs have a wider beam angle than BR bulbs.

  4. PAR bulbs are more energy-efficient than BR bulbs.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

PAR bulbs have a wider beam angle than BR bulbs, which makes them ideal for use in recessed lighting.

What is the best way to dispose of old light bulbs?

  1. Throw them in the trash.

  2. Recycle them at a local recycling center.

  3. Take them to a hazardous waste disposal facility.

  4. Compost them.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Old light bulbs should be recycled at a local recycling center because they contain hazardous materials.

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

  1. Recessed lighting

  2. Track lighting

  3. Pendant lighting

  4. Chandelier


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Chandeliers are not typically considered to be energy-efficient lighting fixtures because they often use a lot of energy.

What is the best way to save energy on lighting?

  1. Use energy-efficient light bulbs.

  2. Turn off lights when you leave a room.

  3. Use natural light whenever possible.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The best way to save energy on lighting is to use energy-efficient light bulbs, turn off lights when you leave a room, and use natural light whenever possible.
