Abstract

Low-pressure sodium lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps and fluorescent lamps etc are mainly used tunnel lighting in Rep. of Korea. Power rates for tunnel lighting are known to account for the highest percentage in the tunnel maintenance costs. Therefore, tunnel lights are being replaced by LED that have advantages such as low power consumption and longevity. To analysis effect of replacement low pressure sodium lamp with LED, illumination and monthly power usage for a year are investigated for 8 tunnels. Power usage for tunnel lighting is decreased by 26.1% to 59.6%, and illumination is increased by 34.1% to 293% replacing low pressure sodium lamp with LED.
