Abstract
This chapter aims to review the previous lighting technologies and discuss the impact of lighting design and user behaviour to the energy consumption of lighting as well as life cycle assessment of luminaires. Energy for lighting can consume between 31 % (in retail store applications) and 60 % (in educational settings) of an organization’s electricity budget. The price of electricity has never stopped its rising trend due to the global issue of energy scarcity. Therefore, a lot of efforts have been made in seeking ways to cut the electricity bill by reducing the energy consumption of lighting system and operating more efficiently. Insight will be shed onto the status of energy consumption by lighting, current lighting technologies, design and control, and the life cycle assessment of luminaires. Finally, a less resource depriving and low energy consuming way of using artificial lighting is proposed.
