The Lighting Research Center
(LRC) is currently involved in a number of groundbreaking
projects focused on developing LEDs into efficient,
cost-effective architectural light sources. These projects
include:
- The
LED Lighting Institute - an education program for
architects and lighting and luminaire designers to
help promote innovation in the use of solid state
lighting.
- Use
of Colored LEDs in Display Window Applications - research
into the energy-saving and aesthetic benefits of using
colored LEDs in retail store displays.
- Characterizing
the performance and optical characteristics of two
types of "white" LED systems (red, green, and blue
mixed vs. phosphor) quantifying total light output,
distribution, color characteristics, and lumen depreciation.
- Color
discrimination of white LEDs - a study to determine
a 3D color discrimination model for white LEDs as
an illuminant.
- Optical
modeling for LED luminaires - developing optical models
for luminaires using solid-state light sources.
- Development
of a nitride-based laser diode for architectural lighting
applications - a joint project with the University
of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).

Project
Information for LED Low Profile Fixtures for Applications
such as Under-cabinet, Shelf, and Display Lighting
|
The
LRC will use the information and technology developed
through its ongoing research in the area of LED technology
to inform and contribute to the research and development
being proposed in this project.
