Abstract
Electricity is the most usable form of energy. For a
developing country like Bangladesh, electricity plays an important
factor. Due to increasing population and rapid industrial growth,
the country lags behind than its rising demand of electric power
supply. Power generation in Bangladesh is mostly dependent on
natural gas, coal and fossil fuel which are also responsible for
carbon emission. Alternative measures should be taken to resolve
this power crisis. If the present power consumption can be reduced
using smart energy efficient appliances then it would be possible
to meet up the demand of the consumers with the present
production capacity. Lighting is responsible for a gentle amount of
energy consumption over the year. In this paper we discussed
about using smart technologies like Solid State Lighting in terms
of reducing energy consumption on lighting sector. Light emitting
diode (LED) based solid state lighting technology have potential to
exceed the efficiency of conventional lamp based lighting systems.
LED offers better quality in lighting, have much longer lifespan
and comparatively better on durability with only drawback of
initial high pricing. In terms of much longer lifespan, this initial
cost is not much accountable. This paper represents the features
and efficiency of solid state lighting as well as comparison among
conventional lighting and LEDs.
