DOE Seeking Feedback on General Service Lamps

March 22, 2016
The Emerging Technologies Program at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Building Technologies Office (BTO) is seeking information from the public regarding high-efficacy replacement lamps in general illumination applications.

The Emerging Technologies Program at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Building Technologies Office (BTO) is seeking information from the public regarding high-efficacy replacement lamps in general illumination applications.

The DOE in an e-mail cited the following as key areas of interest:

  1. Incandescent lamps that currently do not have a suitable replacement lamp meeting or exceeding 45 lumens per watt (lm/W);
  2. Performance metrics, targets and design criteria for suitable replacement lamps;
  3. Gaps in technology that impede the design, development and future sale of replacement lighting products meeting or exceeding 45 lm/W;
  4. Technology advances that could lead to equivalent lighting products meeting or exceeding 45 lm/W;
  5. Potential market impact of new or improved lamps if a suitable product could be developed.

The DOE said this is just a request for information — applications aren’t being taken yet — but it is gathering feedback from stakeholders on these matters prior to potentially issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Responses by e-mail are due by April 4.

Details: High-Efficacy Replacement Lamps for General Lighting Incandescent Lamps DE-FOA-0001557
