Correlation (Or Not) of Variable Light Bulbs and Host Classrooms

Published 2018 September 23

ABSTRACT

We present a study on light bulb brightness variability derived from about two years of observations. We collected data in four different classrooms using visual inspection. Various methods and combinations to alter the lightbulb brightness are discussed and weather influence has also been considered. We also construct sample scaling relations to further assess their applicability.

Keywords: radiative transfer – lightbulb – variability – Monte Carlo
