<![CDATA[One of the most widely used electrical loads is electric lights. The main function of electric lights is as a source of artificial lighting in the room. In an electrical system, the lights will light up when connected in parallel to an electrical power source. In this research, testing of electrical energy savings in energy-saving lamps was carried out using experimental methods. The experimental circuit consists of series and parallel circuits. The amount of current and voltage of the load is measured to calculate the amount of load power. Likewise, the lighting level in the room is measured and then compared with the standard lighting level value according to SNI 03-1697-2000. Based on the analysis results, it was found that the lamp voltage in the series circuit decreased by 50.21% and the lighting strength decreased by 76.88% from the SNI standard. This causes the lighting in the series circuit to become dim. Meanwhile, the power of each lamp in both circuits is almost the same. This shows that there is no saving in electrical power if the lights are connected in series compared to a parallel connection. Therefore, series connection lights cannot be used because they do not meet lighting standards in laboratory work spaces]]>
