Abstract
Lighting represents a significant component of commercial buildings, particularly in office buildings. This paper reviews the potential of energy savings of fluorescent lighting used in office buildings. It is proposed to obtain energy saving by reducing the supply voltage without much degradation in lighting performance. Experimental results confirm that as much as 20% of electrical energy can be saved by reducing about 9% of the supply voltage, without noticeably affecting light output.
