Review of Recent Research on Energy Saving Lamp in Indonesia

Among many types of the loads, lighting has become one of major contributors to the electrical energy consumption. Study shows that 20% to 50% of electrical energy in the developing countries such as Indonesia is used by lighting. This condition causes there is a need to do more research about lighting. Some research had been carried out by Indonesian researchers by collaboration with laboratory from overseas. In order to be able to continue the research conducted by those researchers, a review of their research is needed so that it will be known what research that still can be developed and might can be carried out in Indonesia. Some research reviewed in this paper is about power quality and luminous properties of energy saving lamps (ESLs) under wide voltage variations, aging study of remote luminophore at ambient temperature, and detection of stroboscopic effect using controlled LED flickering.
