CLTC recently collaborated with the Emerging Technologies group at Pacific Gas & Electric Company to evaluate linear LED lamps in a variety of fixture applications, as well as identify cross-compatibility issues of select products.
The goal of this project was to evaluate linear LED lamps intended to replace equivalent linear fluorescent systems when operating under real-world conditions expected of commercial retrofits and in fixtures other than recessed troffers. Product performance, as compared to a standard linear fluorescent baseline, is provided in terms of photometrics, energy use, and cross-compatibility of products within linear LED lamp type categories A and C.
