Chapter 1, Problem 1.32IP

Light Source Comparison A
Today people have three competing light sources for home use. This problem asks you to determine the trade-offs between the costs of the three types of lights. In this example, all three emit the same amount of light (lumens). The following table shows the salient properties of each lamp. Over the lifetime of one light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, how much cost savings is there by using the LED lamp over the traditional incandescent bulb and over the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) if electricity costs 10¢/kWh?

Students have asked these similar questions

What is the minimum resistance required for the resistor in order for the blue light emitting diode (LED) to function well? Assume that the voltage drop on the LED is 2.50 V and current of 20 mA. R -5 V

Do you know how a diode and an LED are related to semiconductors? Use a diagram with a short explanation of the symbol.

The polarization of an LED is similar to the polarization of the diode, but a current limiting resistor must always be connected in series with the LED. Both the LED and its current limiting resistor must be placed in series with the load. a) The above statement is correctb) The above statement is incorrect.
