Abstract
LED technology is currently widely applied to Street Lighting systems, in addition to being environmentally friendly, LED technology provides high energy efficiency. This paper explains the comparison of energy efficiency before and after redesign using two methods. The object of research in this paper is Street Lighting of Jalan Pajajaran, Bandung City. The method used in this paper is Homogenius Luminaire (uniform) and Non-Homogenius Luminaire (not uniform). The results of this study show a comparison of energy efficiency of the two methods used. Using the Non-Homogenius Luminaire method provides a good solution in terms of energy efficiency. In addition, this method reduces light pollution and the use of electricity is relatively low compared to when before it redesigned. The results of this study are expected to be a consideration for the design of Street Lighting.
