US Semiconductor Lighting Product Competition Inspires LED Development


It is reported that Nevada Power, Efficiency Vermont and Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation (WECC) signed a memorandum of understanding with the US Department of Energy to agree to be the prize sponsor of the Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prize (L Prize) competition.

The L Prize is the first government-sponsored semiconductor lighting technology competition to motivate lighting manufacturers to develop high-efficiency, energy-efficient semiconductor lighting (LED) products to replace ordinary light bulbs. The purpose of the L Prize competition is to fundamentally accelerate the transformation of the United States from inefficient, outdated lighting products to innovative, high-performance lighting products. The three new organizations will work with four California energy efficiency agencies (Pacific Gas & Electric, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison) to create applications and other awards for award-winning products.

Jim Brodrick, director of DOE SSL project, said that the L Prize's partner organization has brought the best prizes to all the winners. They can quickly apply high-performance semiconductor lighting products to the market. This brings high-quality semiconductor lighting products to the United States. A strong signal from the business, the seven partner institutions will provide a broad cooperation market for the L Prize winners, with more than 40 million potential customers. The huge market provided by these cooperatives will guarantee the purchase of winning products, which will continue to drive down the cost of technology and expand market acceptance.

The US Department of Energy's glare of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 significantly reduced energy consumption in May 2008, which prompted the Department of Energy to set up the L Prize contest. The direct cause. Legislation poses a challenge to the lighting industry, requiring the replacement of the most widely used and inefficient lighting products 60W incandescent lamps and PAR 38 halogen lamps, while developing new 21st century lighting products with luminous efficiencies exceeding 150 lm/W.

About the L Prize

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) approved the establishment of the L Prize competition by the Ministry of Energy. Legislation poses a challenge to the lighting industry, requiring the replacement of the most widely used and inefficient lighting products 60W incandescent lamps and PAR 38 halogen lamps, while developing new 21st century lighting products. EISA has established basic requirements and bonus amounts for each category of the competition. The amount of cash awarded through legislation is as high as $20 million. According to the budget allocation for fiscal year 2009, the Department of Energy will donate $1 million as a cash prize. In addition, potential opportunities such as future federal purchase agreements, application projects, and other incentive programs for award-winning products will generate far more value than cash rewards.

About the Department of Energy SSL Project

As the federal governing body for solid-state lighting activities, the US Department of Energy has developed a long-term plan to promote the research, development, and market development of solid-state lighting. The R&D program funded by the Department of Energy has achieved breakthroughs in the efficiency and performance of solid-state lighting. The Department of Energy's market development strategy and research progress are more closely combined to help buyers distinguish good products and avoid initial buyers' bad impressions on products, thus delaying product marketing. The Department of Energy's CALiPER program provides information on the performance of just-in-time commercial solid-state lighting products. The GATEWAY demonstration of Energy demonstrates the performance of solid state lighting products in real commercial and residential facilities. The Department of Energy's ENERGY STAR standard for solid state lighting products can help buyers identify energy-efficient products and make decisions. DOE's ENERGY STAR® standard for semiconductor lighting helps buyers choose energy-efficient products, and the first ENERGY STAR-qualified solid-state lighting products are expected to be available by the end of 2008.
