Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to research the feasibility of constructing a light emitting diode lamp with a conventional screwbase and color control capability that could be used in existing incandescent light fixtures. Prototype LED lamps will be constructed.
Proposed Outcomes:
· An engineering prototype LED lamp will be fabricated. A second prototype lamp will be fabricated if funds allow.
· A feasibility analysis based on the performance of the prototype lamps. Project objectives are to achieve a minimum 50% improvement in energy efficiency while maintaining light output within 20% of base case incandescent lamps.
Anticipated Benefits:
· LED lamps capable of achieving energy savings of 50% to 70% in light fixtures that would normally use incandescent lamps.
