The National Energy Technology Laboratory, on behalf of the US Department of Energy (DOE), has selected 14 projects to receive solid-state lighting (SSL) project funding.
In the fifth round of Round 5 of Core Technology and Product Development Funding Opportunity Announcements, it is expected that these selected projects will help achieve the goals of the solid state lighting program. To develop advanced solid-state lighting technologies that enable more energy efficient, longer life, and more cost effective technologies.
The goal of these technologies is to increase the system efficiency of the product to 50%, enabling lighting fixtures that accurately reproduce the spectrum of sunlight.
All of the 14 selected projects have passed the Exceptional Circumstances Determination issued by the June 2005 DOE. The selected items are listed below (has been negotiated):
