First, a light simulation system mimicking sunrise and sunset
were proposed to reduce fish light shock.
Second, a series of dimmer lights was proposed to reduce
light intensity, aiming to save more electricity.
The ESI team conducted a simple calculation using the dimmer light simulation to estimate potential electricity savings.
Using a 20W bulb as a reference, it was estimated that a gradual increase in brightness from 0:700 hrs to noon, followed
by full brightness until 14:00 hrs. Afterwards, the intensity decreases by 10% every hour until 19:00hrs when the lights are
entirely switched off. The calculation is shown in Table 1 below.
The potential saving of electricity could be as high as 48.33%, as shown below in Table 2.
