Abstract

In this paper, comparison and analysis between High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamp and Light Emitting Diode (LED) are represented. Now-a-days, latest technology LED lamp is mostly used for outdoor lighting due to its low energy consumption, less maintenance and long life. At Thapar University, HPS lamps are used for street lighting. If HPS lamps will be replaced by LED lamps, a good amount of energy saving is possible i.e. if we replace HPS lamp of 250W with LED lamp of 120W. Also,   PV Off-Grid system is designed for street lighting at Thapar University.
