Items to Cover Overview of select co-op field trials Focus group results Information on LED agricultural studies
LED Test Sites 8 test sites 84 LED fixtures 10 LED manufacturers Parking lot Street Lobby Classroom Agricultural
Basic Test Setup Each test site was monitored for consumption, power quality, light output Community feedback was also critical For the most part people preferred LED lighting
Focus Group Results Parking lot 1 LED- 99% MV- 1% Parking Lot 2 LED- 91% HPS- 9% Street lights LED- 95% HPS- 1 Classroom LED- 39% T-12-61% Lobby LED- 97% CFL- 3% Agriculture Cows and pigs undecided
T Bar M Dairy Ranch Durant, OK 18,000 lumens 10,000 lumens
Dairy Project A high-bay conversion of 250 watt metal halide to 120 watt LED in a dairy freestall barn Project goals: Measure energy usage Worker satisfaction Monitor animal health
Project Results- Dairy 10 LED fixtures from Lektron 55% energy savings 30% increase in illumination 4 year payback based on energy savings and reduced maintenance
Robinson Family Farms 380,000 pigs per year 462 sows farrowing at a time Existing fixtures: CFLs Project goals: Measure energy usage Power quality measurements Worker satisfaction Monitor animal health
Swine Farrowing Barn Before: 26 Watt CFL After: Agrishift 15 Watt
Retrofit 24 CFL bulbs (left) with LED lamps (right)
Project Results- Swine 30 W CFLs replaced with 15 W LED 50% energy savings Less glare than CFL No disposal issues--- Very important 7 year payback based on energy savings and reduced maintenance
Lessons Learned Focus group feedback is key Test multiple lamps from multiple LED vendors and incumbent tech Payback is important but comfort and societal benefits are also considerations More information visit: www.nreca.coop www.youtube.com/cooperativeresearch

Midwest Lighting Research Center
Midwest Lighting Research Center ADAPTIVE LIGHTING A lighting system that responds to the environment in determining the brightness, temperature, and color of light, using occupancy detection and current light levels. Using a light sensor unit will be set on a table or the area to be illuminated. These sensors will wirelessly transmit to a microcontroller which will control ceiling-mounted LEDs. The feedback from the sensors will keep the desired color and intensity at the area of interest, so that if there is sufficient sunlight, the LEDs need not consume as much power

The Future of LEDs
Residential Motion Sensor Why pay for electricity you're not using? The Bug Plug's eyes are motion sensors; when they don't sense you moving in the room for several minutes, the device will automatically turn off the electronics connected to it by a power strip.
Electric Piggy Bank The Power-Hog is a piggy bank with a unique twist--kids feed it coins and it doles out 30 minutes of electricity. Would they play video games all night if they knew it would cost a week's allowance?
Residential or Commercial Do you sometimes forget to turn off the lights? No problem--the Blink plug will do it for you. Its rotating eye senses natural sunlight, then turns off devices like fans in the morning and turns on nightlights at dusk.
Power Over Ethernet = POE Security Cameras Network Routers Lighting Controllers Power over Ethernet or PoE describes a standardized system to pass electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to such devices as network hubs or closed-circuit TV cameras.
The Future for LED Lighting Just a few years ago, the industry said: LEDs will continue to be a niche market and will never be a full lighting option - fluorescent & incandescent will dominate Today: LED fixtures and bulbs are major market players and - fluorescents & incandescent are becoming the niche market
Handy Tool How can you tell if a fluorescent lamp has: magnetic or electronic ballast?
