Given the availability of newer lighting technologies that convert a greater percentage of electricity into useful light, there is potential to decrease the amount of energy used for lighting in both commercial and residential applications. Although technologies such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have emerged in the past few decades and will help achieve the goal of increased energy efficiency, solid-state lighting (SSL) stands to play a large role in dramatically decreasing U.S. energy consumption for lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince the publication of the 2013 National Research Council report \u003ci\u003eAssessment of Advanced Solid-State Lighting\u003c\/i\u003e, the penetration of SSL has increased dramatically, with a resulting savings in energy and costs that were foreshadowed by that study. What was not anticipated then is the dramatic dislocation and restructuring of the SSL marketplace, as cost reductions for light-emitting diode (LED) components reduced profitability for LED manufacturers. At the same time, there has been the emergence of new applications for SSL, which have the potential to create new markets and commercial opportunities for the SSL industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessment of Solid-State Lighting, Phase Two\u003c\/i\u003e discusses these aspects of change--highlighting the progress of commercialization and acceptance of SSL and reviewing the technical advances and challenges in achieving higher efficacy for LEDs and organic light-emitting diodes. This report will also discuss the recent trends in SSL manufacturing and opportunities for new applications and describe the role played by the Department of Energy (DOE) Lighting Program in the development of SSL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies of Sciences Engineeri,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,Board on Energy and Environmental System\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309452570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309452571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"National Academies of Sciences Engineeri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447693783295,"sku":"9780309452571","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8566ab3-3940-4fb4-bfbc-d1fbeee74dd4.jpg?v=1777234178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/assessment-of-solid-state-lighting-phase-national-academies-of-sciences-engineeri-9780309452571","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
