This document compares commonly used lighting systems like CFL and fluorescent tubes to advanced LED lighting systems. It then introduces a new LED tube invention called Brite LED tubes. Key parameters discussed include lumens, efficiency, wattage and price. The document finds that Brite LED tubes provide over 2400 lumens, have no UV radiation, and a CRI over 75%, similar to natural light. Brite LED tubes are more resilient to voltage fluctuations and can light up in low voltage conditions better than CFLs and tubes. The market potential for LED lighting in India is also discussed.
2. This document is for the purpose of making comparisons
among some of the commonly used lighting systems and
some of the very highly advanced ones available in the
market from the best manufacturers in the world with the
new invention Brite LED tubes.
4. The parmeters :
Lumens
Efficiency (Lumens/watt)
Wattage
Price (in USD $)*
Price ($)* :- Calculated as the lowest available price from various
departmental stores and online stores.
6. The Idea!
Alternative for CFL and Fluorescent Tubes
Easy for handling
Better design.
Better Luminosity.
Dire necessity to save power and energy.
Cost effective.
7. Goals
To use LEDs as Common lighting source
To replace CFLs
To reduce the cost compared to the present LED
Tubes/ Bulb
To bring it to the common people’s affordability.
8. USP
Cut down the cost drastically.
Easy to implement
Simple user-friendly design.
Removing drawbacks of the present used LED tubes
and bulbs.
9. Feasibility of the Product
Single Lab production cost $ 2.5-3
Industrial production cost to be much less (< $ 1.5 )
Can be modified both as a bulb and tube
Implementable with existing facilities at homes
10. The lighting systems compared
Commonly used: CFL 23 Watts
Fluorescent tube 40 Watts
Advanced LED lighting Systems: GE Energy Smart
Philips Master LED 12 W
Toshiba E-Core
Osram Sylvania Ultra LED
Philips Master LED 17 W
Brite LED tubes (The new powerful invention).
20. Some important results from UL report
The Product has been sent to the coveted : CFL 23 Watts
Following are some noteworthy points: 2403 Lumens (Greater than 40 Watt Tube ).
No UV radiation.
CRI of 75.1 (> 75% similar to natural light, CFL- 50-60, Tube- 40-50)
Correlated Colour Temperature: 6272 K
21. Some more important aspects of Brite
The Product has been tested to be highly resilient against voltage
fluctuations (where CFLs & Tubes give up).
The product can light up (with full potential) under conditions of
very low voltage which can be used up to light up the myriads of
villages in India where CFLs & Tubes Don’t / wont work.
Can be given warranty of at least 2 years (highest in the market).

FL- Fluorescent Lamps (Tubes)
25. The opportunity:The Indian market for LED lighting is expected to grow to $400 million by 2015 (at a rate of 53 per cent
per annum), making it one of the fastest-growing sectors.
According to Electric Lamp & Component Manufacturers’ Association of India (ELCOMA), the entire
lighting industry production in India in 2009 was worth about $ 1.3 billion, of which the share of LED
lighting was only $ 30 million. The market will be driven by such factors as government support for
promoting investments in energy-efficient lighting, development of national standards for testing and
performance evaluation, transfer and improvements in existing technology for new applications, global
mandate to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and decline in average prices of LED.

26. Is India ready?
No industry can be driven unless it has the right set of skilled people. In India, since there
has not been much focus on lighting education, the industry is in dire need of lighting
professionals.
“Most of the Indian lighting industry is still dependent on foreign MNCs for any innovation.
One simple reason is that there is no technical institute at the moment which teaches
lighting as a subject and its association with electronics. Our electronics hardware
manufacturing sector to a large extent doesn’t even know what lighting electronics is,” says
Praveen Kumar Sood, chairman, Regnant Group.
