DOE announces latest energy saving potential analysis of LED solid state lighting products

The United States Department of energy (DOE) released a new report, analysis of solid-state lighting (SSL) potential energy savings, mainly for LED and OLED products. The U.S. Department of energy predicts that during 2010-2030, solid state lighting products can save 1488 megawatts of energy, equivalent to saving $120 billion.

U.S. energy is actively supporting and funding a variety of SSL lighting program, on the one hand, in order to achieve energy conservation, on the other hand, in order to allow the United States to achieve a global leader in the field of SSL technology. The latest report updates the forecast for solid state lighting products.

The full range of reports from the lighting and luminous flux requirements, and will continue to focus on the technical improvement and installation of traditional lighting.

LED product testing projects include more than and 20 years of solid state lighting technology to improve and cost savings. For example, the report predicts that its effectiveness has been improved. With a high display index (CRI:76-90) of solid state lighting lamps, DOE expects its light efficiency will rise from the current 64.3lm/W to 147.3lm/W in 2020, in 2030, will reach 176.3lm/W.

From a cost perspective, the U.S. Department of energy is expected to have high color index products, solid state lighting will be priced from today's $169.49 / thousand lumens in 2030 fell to $5.03 / thousand lumens. The report also makes predictions for other ranges of color rendering index and OLED lighting fixtures.

The latter part of the report focuses on the assessment of market penetration and the calculation of energy conservation.

According to the US Department of energy, solid state lighting could reduce emissions of 2.46 tonnes of carbon dioxide over the next more than and 20 years. (http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/7/2/17)
