Abstract

promoting energy efficiency among consumers. An activity that influences everyone is limiting the use of traditional incandescent lamps by replacing them with energy-saving lamps (ESLs). This study assessed the current level of ESLs household acceptance and identified ways to increase the awareness among users. Samples for this study were collected from Ikeja and Mushin districts in Lagos state. The research was carried out by surveying 200 residential houses with a questionnaire administered in the two districts using a random sampling survey technique. The data obtained from these two populations were subjected to analysis to determine the interpenetration level of ESL. The results showed that ESLs, though widely used in Ikeja, had not sufficiently replaced incandescent and tube fluorescent lamps. In Mushin, the incandescent lamp was still practically in use in homes more than tube fluorescent lamps and ESLs.
