Análise luminotécnica para melhor eficiência de luminárias autônomas do Projeto Litro de Luz.

Abstract

Artificial light is exceedingly important to the development of humankind and society. However, 1.3 billion people which represents 19% of world population, have no access to an electrical source. The NGO Liter of Light designed a cheap and efficient solution to electrical lighting in hopes of improving education and security for those who have no access to an electrical light source. This paper presents a way to make this solution more efficient and a comparative study that proves if the suggested improvement actually works. The idea consists of lampposts that utilizes simple technology that includes low cost and recyclable materials, a small solar panel and a battery. With the implementation of light poles, it is intended to decrease the likelihood of violence in the streets, encourage education, promote the movement of people at night, warming up the local market, improving and empowering the community.
