2010 U.S. Lighting Market Characterization (January 2012)
The 2010 U.S. Lighting Market Characterization is the second report released by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solid State Lighting Program that provides summary estimates of the installed stock, energy use, and lumen production of all lamps operating in the U.S, the first version being released in 2002. The objective of this report is to collect and present in one document the fundamental energy consumption information that DOE needs to plan an effective lighting research and development program.
Delta Field Test: T5 Fluorescent High-bay Luminaires and Wireless Lighting Controls
Delta field-tested T5 Fluorescent luminaires and wireless motion-sensing lighting controls in a distribution center warehouse in Albany, NY. The demonstration in this high-bay environment was designed to test the performance and energy efficiency of a retrofit T5 fluorescent lighting system compared to the existing metal halide lighting system.
Energy Savings Potential of Solid-State Lighting in General Illumination Applications
The DOE report Energy Savings Potential of Solid-State Lighting in General Illumination Applications forecasts the energy savings potential of solid-state lighting sources compared to conventional lighting sources (e.g., incandescent and fluorescent).
The Department of Energy's Opportunity for Energy Savings Through Improved Management of Facility Lighting
The seven sites included in our review had not always taken advantage of lighting technology opportunities to reduce energy consumption and save taxpayer dollars. While sites had, to varying degrees, begun to update lighting, significant opportunities for conservation remain. Specifically, we noted that the sites had not always...
Metal Halide — Pulse Start vs. Probe Start
As we enter this new age of energy awareness, the lighting community has been at the forefront finding more and more ways to conserve energy. One of these ways is through the technology and construction of Metal Halide lamps, resulting in significant improvements to both energy savings and performance.
The ABC's of electronic fluorescent ballasts
This guide from Philips will give you a greater understanding of electronic ballasts, the great many options they offer and the benefits of using various types of electronic ballasts in designing more energy-efficient, economic, innovative and user-friendly lighting systems.
CSL: Recommended Practices: Introduction
This document from the Consortium for Solar Lighting introduces the elements of a solar-powered LED-based outdoor-lighting system and describes the key problem of sizing the system so that the solid-state lighting (SSL) operates reliably throughout the night every night.
Lighting represents roughly 40 percent of the energy consumption in the commercial building sector. The diversity of this sector presents some challenges to
