INTRODUKSI HIGH POWER LED PADA PERIKANAN BAGAN TANCAP

Abstract

The use of TL lamp (tubular lamp) as a tool for collecting fish on the lift net has the lacks namely the light-emission which is too distributed widely and the high price of fuel. The use of HPL lamp (high power led) as energy efficient lamp is expected to substitute TL lamp to solve the issue. The aim of this study is to prove the use of HPL lamp on lift net is able to produce species composition and weight of the catch higher than TL lamp. The tests used two lift net, each of it used HPL lamp with silver plate cone as its reflector and TL lamp with zinc paper as its reflector. The results showed that the HPL lamp 90^o generated light distribution area with 120^o while TL lamp was up to 300^o with the highest value of each illumination 1,358 lux (180^o) and 299 lux (50^o). Composition of species and weight of the catch lift net which use HPL lamps 90^o produced 14 species organisms with the number of total weight 97.363 g (78.39%), higher than the TL lamp which produced 9 species organisms with the number of total weight 26.829 g (21.61%).
