UPDATES OLEDs Are Coming to America While other U.S. towns are still reeling from the recession, Canandaigua, NY, is getting some relief. It has been selected as the site for the America’s first pilot manufacturing facility The first U.S. OLED plant will open in for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting panels. A partnership between the U.S. New York. Department of Energy (DOE), the Universal Display Corporation (UDC), Moser Baer Technologies, Inc. (MBT) and New York’s Smart System Technology & Commercialization Center (STC), the pilot facility will demonstrate the scalability of UDC’s phosphorescent OLED technology and materials for the manufacture of white OLED lighting panels that meet commercial lighting targets. The 140,000-sq ft facility will be designed, built and operated by Moser Baer and will produce more than 1,000 panels per day. The project is funded by a $4 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant, an $11.5 million investment from MBT, state government incentives available through the STC and municipal tax credits. “The idea behind the Canandaigua project is to facilitate the growth of the embryonic OLED lighting industry by providing prototype lighting panels to U.S. luminaire manufacturers to incorporate into products, in order to facilitate testing of design and to gauge customer acceptance,” says DOE lighting program manager James Brodrick. The new facility should also “help bring down OLED manufacturing costs by developing efficient mass-production technology.” The facility is expected to create more than 50 high-tech jobs in Canandaigua by 2012. “We hear a lot these days about the decline of U.S. manufacturing, but this story gives us some much-needed good news in that regard,” says Brodrick. “The relationship between the four players involved illustrates how government-industry collaboration can lead to the creation of a new industry and high-tech jobs in America.” Texas Campus Invests in Green Upgrades Texans are known for living large, but the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, TX, is hoping to reverse the trend by minimizing its carbon footprint. UNT recently awarded a $42.4 million performance contracting project to Schneider Electric to improve energy efficiency, operations, reliability and comfort in 5.4 million sq ft of its facilities. Schneider Electric will implement numerous energy conservation measures, including lighting control through motion sensors, electrical power quality upgrades, electronic building automation and various HVAC upgrades. The contract also includes the creation of a campus energy-tracking effort accomplished through extensive submetering of buildings. Energy usage data will be made visible on the Internet enabling the university to be proactive in managing usage on campus in a real-time environment and driving energy awareness among faculty and students. Turn on the Southern Charm Each year, Southern Living readers get a taste of the latest residential trends from the magazine’s Idea Houses—homes designed and decorated by local firms to foster design inspiration. Built in Senoia, GA, this year’s 3,700-sq ft, 3.5-story Idea House in may evoke the historical architecture of Savannah and Charleston, but its lighting is wholly modern thanks to LED luminaires. Used in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms LED downlights (from Cooper Lighting) consume less than 15 watts each, but deliver between 511-945 lumens. Photo: 2010 Southern Living House 14 www.ies.org
UPDATES GE Spawns Hybrid Lamp What do you get when you cross an incandescent bulb with a CFL GE’s new hybrid lamp. Debuting in 2011, the new hybrid halogen-CFL contains a halogen capsule inside a CFL that is, in turn, encased in an incandescent-shaped bulb. The halogen capsule comes on instantly and shuts off once the CFL comes to full brightness. Engineered to operate with only 1 mg of mercury, the lamps will be RoHS compliant with an expected 8,000- hour lifetime. The 15-W and 20-W lamps will be first to launch. DOE Absorbs Cree LED City Participants in Cree’s LED City program will join forces with DOE’s Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium. The Consortium will assume the functions of the LED City program and will continue to provide a forum where municipalities in the process of evaluating SSL technologies can get information, discuss best practices and share lessons learned. Formed earlier this year, DOE’s SSL Street Lighting Consortium has nearly 400 members in 48 states, five Canadian provinces and four other countries. Mixed Results for CALiPER Round 11 Citing good news and bad, the U.S. Department of Energy released its “Round 11 Summary Report” for the CALiPER testing program in late October. CALiPER tests a wide range of solid-state lighting products that are available on the market, and for benchmarking purposes compares them with similar products that use traditional light sources. The results of each round of testing are highlighted in a Summary Report. CALiPER Round 11 was conducted from March to September of this year and looked at 31 LED lighting products in five applications: linear replacement lamps, arm-mounted roadway luminaries, post-top roadway luminaries, high-bay luminaires and small replacement lamps. “Overall, there were some encouraging findings,” says DOE lighting program manager, James Brodrick. “For example, we saw a continuation of the steady increase in average overall efficacy over previous rounds. And although many products continue to carry misleading equivalency claims and inaccurate performance metrics, performance claims for a number of products were found to be accurate—especially for those products carrying the Lighting Facts label.” For LED linear replacement lamps, the good news, reports DOE, is that they’re getting better, especially in terms of efficacy, but the bad news is that they still have some major performance issues in the areas of light distribution, color quality and reliability. Still, using a troffer equipped with two SSL lamps to replace a single-lamp fluorescent troffer in situations where lower light levels are needed, or where other SSL characteristics provide an advantage, may now be viable in some cases—even though at this point in time LED linear replacement lamps will probably not be the most cost-effective or reliable option. Likewise, the roadway luminaire results were “a mixed bag.” Both the armmounted and the post-top luminaires showed a wide range in performance, although there was significant improvement on average over earlier rounds. Half of the SSL outdoor luminaires achieved light output and efficacy levels that matched or exceeded those of their benchmark counterparts, but most of those tested exhibited substantial variations in color characteristics, as compared to their rated CCT. A Summary Report containing the results from Round 11 testing is now available for download on the DOE SSL website at www.ssl.energy.gov/ reports.html. LD+A December 2010 15
