The study lamps are not fully sustainable for the environment. The electrical energy used by the lamps is generated from fossil fuels which are non-renewable sources of energy. As fossil fuels are limited resources on earth, it may deplete even more in the future as the demand for electricity increases. Hence, our project objective is to transform the energy use of the lamps to become more efficient. We designed a new lamp that will reuse light and heat energy from the lamp to promote plant growth. We experimented and found that there is a 10 grams increase in the mass of the plant in the presence of the lamp as compared to without the lamp. We have conducted focus groups to receive further feedback to improve the lamp. We aim to encourage the use of sustainable lamps within the campus as even small efforts contribute to protecting the environment.
