Republication of Postings from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solid-State Lighting Program by Jim Brodrick, SSL Program Manager, U.S. Department of Energy High-flux lighting applications in high-temperature environments present a formidable challenge for LEDs. The higher the luminous flux from a luminaire, the more difficult it can be to properly dissipate the heat, to [...]

This Philips video talks about how our body clock is out of sync with our alarm clock, and how light can reset the body’s clock.

The California Lighting Technology Center has developed the High-Efficacy Residential Lighting Guide to provide information about lighting products and key lighting principles and best practice recommendations. Download the guide here.

This interesting presentation by Acuity Brands portrays OLED lighting as rapidly advancing in performance and poised for larger adoption. Check it out here.

The Matrix by Luminii is a slim-profile LED backlighting system that provides uniform backlighting with minimal cavity depth. The luminaire can be mounted directly on a surface using double-stick tape and secured with screws. A modular design permits multiple configurations. Click here to learn more.

At the 12th annual DOE Solid-State Lighting R&D Workshop, held January 27–29 in San Francisco, 300 attendees participated in both plenary and LED/OLED breakout sessions, with presentations from over 60 solid-state lighting experts and special opening remarks from 2014 Nobel Laureate Shuji Nakamura. One interesting presentation, authored by OSRAM SYLVANIA’s Andreas Wojtysiak, focuses on the [...]

I wrote this article for the February issue of tED Magazine. Reprinted with permission. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), four out of five lamps in service in commercial buildings 2010 were fluorescent, with a majority used in troffer (cross between “trough” and “coffer”) luminaires. Available in standard 1′x4′, 2′x4′ and 2′x2′ sizes, [...]
