Directional LED Lamps – Laboratory Testing Program
12/01/2012
The retail sector constitutes one of the largest energy consumers in the U.S., and halogen parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR) and multifaceted reflector (MR) lamps are common retail lighting choices. LED replacement lamps have the potential to transform lighting energy use in this sector, and manufacturers of LED PAR and MR lamps now claim comparable photometric performance, as well as much greater longevity, than traditional halogen lamps.
UC Davis Smart Lighting Initiative: Lighting the Way to a Sustainable 2nd Century
05/01/2012
Lighting accounts for about a quarter of California’s electricity use, and installing energy-efficient lighting can lead to significant energy, maintenance, carbon, and economic savings, according to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). In September 2010, the CPUC adopted a plan to achieve a 60–80% reduction in statewide electrical lighting consumption by 2020.
SPEED Business Case: Adaptive Corridor Lighting

This business case describes four adaptive lighting systems. All four cut energy use and electricity costs by over 70%. Large-scale upgrades generally yield the best results, and they qualify for the biggest incentives.
Philips Energy Advantage CDM lamps with AllStart
06/01/2011
Philips Lighting has released a ceramic metal halide, direct-retrofit lamp that can be used with both probe- and pulse-start ballasts. The Philips Energy Advantage CDM lamp with AllStart Technology saves energy, improves efficacy and color rendering, maintains light levels, and is more affordable than traditional metal halide (MH) lamps. Philips says the lamps “provide true universal operation regardless of orientation without compromising light quality, and make installation and maintenance easier than ever.”
Advanced LED Downlights
