Artificial lighting contributes to up to 25% of a household’s electrical consumption while creating excessive light pollution. We aim to half the amount of electricity consumed by LED lights in the rooms in RVRC. We conducted a trial with 20 RVRC students by removing one existing LED tube in their rooms. After a week, we conducted another survey to assess how this change has impacted their productivity and living condition. Most residents did not observe any significant difference in apparent brightness and are content with 1 LED tube. We hope that the results would aid students in making a more informed and positive decision by removing one of their light tubes to save electricity and reduce e-waste.
