Important energy units and there definitions

Watt (W) Power in Electrical circuit need for energy consumption Watt
Amount of light energy seen by human eye that is given
Lumen off by light bulb
Lux 1 lumen spread over area of 1 sq.meter

Light comes out of light blub compare to electrical energy

coming inside
Efficiency Efficiency = output/input
in case of light= lumen/watt

Color Rendering Index

0 to 100 scale
CRI 0-------- poor rendition
1------------ good rendition

Basic rules for energy efficeint lightning

Design adequate but not excessive level of lightning

Use most efficeient light source that is suitable for task
Employ most efficient luminaries appropriate for task
Ensure room surfaces are light color and reflect light properly
Use min no of luminaries that achieve target illuminance
Use appropriate control
Establish maintenance program
