Abstract: The most popularly used light bulb in homes is the incandescent. It is also the least energy efficient. The filament in the bulb is so thin that it causes resistance in the electricity, which in turn causes the electricity's energy to form heat. This causes the incandescent to waste a lot of energy generating heat rather than light. It uses 15 lumens per watt of input power. Increasing energy efficiency is considered as a feasible policy option for many economies. It motivate every nation to reconsider their energy and climate policies A recorded MATLAB demonstration showcased LED versatility and its use by an Arduino UNO board. The purpose of this experimental study was to determine to what extent LEDs can reduce energy consumption through the use of an Arduino UNO board and MATLAB and to discuss the applications of LED. LED will be the future of lighting homes and will eventually completely incandescent bulbs when companies complete the necessary improvements to the LED. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) offer an exciting opportunity to improve energy efficiency.
