Advancing LED Technology for Sustainable Illumination: A Collaborative Initiative

This project aims to boost the adoption of LED lighting technologies among businesses and consumers in Indiana. It focuses on recruiting talent from local schools for research and development, thereby reducing costs associated with LED production. The initiative seeks to create jobs in the manufacturing and installation sectors while minimizing conversion impacts. It addresses current applications, including home and business solutions, traffic and street lights, and display lighting. Collaboration with universities and incentives for switching to LEDs are key strategies to overcome initial cost challenges.

  1. LED Technology for efficient Illumination Team Element

  2. Project Scope • Increase the adoption of the LED lights with businesses and consumers. • Recruit from Indiana’s school for R&D to drive down costs of LED technology. • Create jobs in manufacturing and installation of LEDs. • Minimize impact of conversion to LED by evaluating the viability of converting at a single point.

  3. Current Applications • Home Applications • Light bulbs and fixtures. • Business Applications • Light bulbs and fixtures. • External signs. • Traffic lights. • Street lights. • Product display lights. Source: Lighting Research Center (www.lpr.rpi.edu)

  4. Challenges of LED Adoption • The use of LED lighting has a high initial capital cost when compared to conventional lighting. • The LED functioning is dependent on the surrounding temperature. Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED)

  5. Proposed Solution • Allocation of state funds to further research at universities in Indiana to reduce the cost of LEDs ??? • Partner with Light Research Institute (http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/aboutUs/becomePartner.asp) • Provide incentives (tax credits etc) to businesses and home owners to switch to LED lighting.  create installation jobs. • Allocate state funds to change signs and street lights  creates installation jobs. • Retool existing factories to manufacture LEDs?
