Approach

The technical approach to this project 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.

Accomplishments

• Developed design guidelines and considerations for LED exterior luminaires (see Guidelines for LED Porch Lighting)

Publications

Currently, the following reports are available for this project:

• LED Attribute Matrix Report (106 KB) - This report provides explanations of generic control elements, color, and light output along with specific requirements for control, color, and visibility for residential, commercial, and institutional markets.
• Concept Matrix Report (7.4 MB) - The concepts are presented based on the ability to meet technical requirements for specific outdoor applications, integrate LED arrays into fixture systems for optical efficiency and light delivery, and provide control and color mixing that maximizes performance while minimizing energy usage.
