The overall goal of this
project is to reduce energy consumption by researching
and developing a series of a high performance energy
efficient LED based alternatives to incandescent exterior,
porch and perimeter lighting in residential, commercial
and institutional applications.
Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory
is leading the research and development work for this
project.
The
technical goal will include developing a series of 3
to 8 integrated designs with a manufacturing partner
that uses LEDs, advanced controls and optical systems
that improve the overall delivery efficacy. Prototype
evaluation will include laboratory testing and field
research and application evaluation. Field monitoring
protocols will be developed and made available for use
by other California groups.
This
project meets the PIER Goal of Improving the Energy
Cost/Value of California's electricity by reducing the
energy demand from porch and perimeter lighting for
residential and commercial applications (hotels/motels).This
project also meets the secondary goal of improving the
Environmental and Public Health Costs/Risk of California's
electricity by reducing nighttime light pollution from
these types of fixtures.
The
overall objective of this project is to work with one
or more manufacturing partners to design, prototype
and evaluate a series of 3 to 8 exterior porch lighting
systems that integrate high efficiency optics/distribution,
LED light sources and lighting controls into one system.

Project Information
|
The
individual objectives of this project are to:
•
Develop a series of advanced fixture prototypes for
residential, commercial and institutional applications.
•
Develop fixture and optical geometries that mitigate
sky pollution.
•
Develop source configurations and optical geometries
that match or exceed the vertical and horizontal illuminance
of conventional A lamps.
•
Reduce the energy consumption of incandescent porch
and perimeter light fixtures by 75 percent.
•
Develop integrated control systems that extend the savings
opportunities for these applications.
