DOE Releases Report on FAA Demonstration of LED Walkway Lighting
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently released a September 2008 report, Energy Savings Estimates of Light Emitting Diodes in Niche Lighting Applications. Today DOE published an Errata to the report regarding the refrigerated display case energy savings estimates. Specifically, the installed base of refrigerated display case fluorescent lighting systems in the U.S. was given in linear feet of display cases instead of, as labeled in the September report, the number of refrigerated display cases. This correction impacts calculations throughout the report. Read more »

DOE Report on Residential LED Lighting Shows Advantage over Conventional Lighting
DOE Report on Residential LED Lighting Shows Advantage over Conventional Lighting In August 2008 the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conducted a light-emitting diode (LED) residential lighting demonstration project for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Building Technologies, as part of DOE’s Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Technology Demonstration GATEWAY Program. Two lighting technologies, an LED replacement for lamps (bulbs) in downlights and an LED undercabinet lighting fixture, were evaluated in the demonstration which was conducted in two homes built for the 2008 Tour of Homes in Eugene, Oregon. The homes were built by the Lane County Home Builders Association (HBA) and Future B Homes. The Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO) also participated in the demonstration project. Read more »

DOE Report on LED Area Lights for a Commercial Garage Shows Good Acceptance
DOE Report on LED Area Lights for a Commercial Garage Shows Good Acceptance This U.S. Department of Energy GATEWAY Demonstration project studied the applicability of light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires for commercial parking garage applications. High-pressure sodium (HPS) area luminaires were replaced with new LED area luminaires. The project was supported under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solid-State Lighting Program. Other participants in the demonstration project included Providence Portland Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, the Energy Trust of Oregon, and Lighting Sciences Group (LSG) Inc. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conducted the measurements and analysis of the results. PNNL manages GATEWAY demonstrations for DOE and represents their perspective in the conduct of the work. Read more »

DoE Released New CALiPER Program Results: Round 7 of Product Testing
DoE released CALiPER Program round 7 results. The testing focused on three application areas: outdoor lighting, downlights, and replacement lamps. One series of tests included eight streetlights. The series of tests on nine downlights included a wide range of luminaires that could potentially be used for downlighting. The replacement lamp category included nine different SSL products, including: MR16s, some larger directional lamps (PAR20, PAR30, and PAR38), and A-lamps. Read more »

DOE Releases SSL Manufacturing R&D Roadmap
The U.S. Department of Energy has published the 2010 edition of the Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Manufacturing R&D Roadmap. Complementing the SSL R&D Multi-Year Program Plan (MYPP) that guides the Core and Product Development R&D programs, the Roadmap's primary goal is to guide the manufacturing R&D program and help direct funding solicitations for it. Manufacturing R&D is a part of DOE's SSL manufacturing initiative launched in 2009. The Roadmap also provides guidance for equipment and material suppliers, based on industry consensus on the expected evolution of SSL manufacturing – thereby reducing risk, improving quality, increasing yields, and lowering costs.
