Complete solid-state lighting (SSL) solutions require technical expertise in myriad technologies — several distinct, high-level areas are easily identified (see Fig. 1). Knowledge in one area can be ...

The National Research Council (NRC) appoints a committee and conducts a study of the status of advanced solid state lighting (SSL). The report considered the basic science and engineering needed to ...

Ideal for reducing maintenance and energy costs as well as handling harsh environments, a family of wedge-based LED lamps from JKL Lamps (Pacoima, CA) provides a performance improvement over ...

The Energy Star criteria for solid-state lighting luminaires are the target of widespread applications and progressive plans to raise the bar in future years. Understanding of the requirements, along ...

The pace of innovation is sometimes so swift that technologies that emerged a decade or so ago are now fixtures of daily life. Take light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for example. A January 2012 U.S.
