General information

Successful market introduction of solid-state lighting products will depend on having consistent, high-quality products at reasonable costs. To achieve these goals, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is hosting a Solid-State Lighting Manufacturing Workshop to examine underlying issues related to materials, equipment, process control, and other factors that influence product quality and cost.

Join DOE at the Solid-State Lighting Manufacturing Workshop to explore opportunities, goals, and methods for a potential new DOE manufacturing initiative designed to:

• Reduce the cost of LED products to competitive levels
• Ensure high product quality and consistent performance
• Accelerate introduction of organic LED products
• Encourage and strengthen U.S. manufacturing of solid-state lighting products

This workshop supports DOE efforts to promote excellence in manufacturing and to accelerate market introduction of solid-state lighting for maximum national energy savings.

Previous Fair Information

More than 400 SSL technology leaders from industry, research organizations, universities, national laboratories, manufacturing, energy efficiency organizations, utilities and municipalities gathered in San Francisco, CA to participate in the “Transformations in Lighting” Solid-State Lighting Workshop on February 3-5, 2009. The workshop, hosted by DOE, with sponsors BetaLED, Echelon, Pacific Gas & Electric, and Southern California Edison, was the sixth annual DOE meeting to accelerate SSL technology advances and guide market introduction of quality SSL products. The workshop brought together a diverse gathering of participants – from the R&D community to lighting designers and architects – to share insights, ideas, and updates on the rapidly evolving SSL market.
