The U.S. Department of Energy’s Solid-state Lighting (SSL) program will hold its annual R&D Workshop November 8 – 9 in Portland, Ore. The workshop seeks to “….examine the latest SSL technology advances and research questions, and provide updates on various DOE early-stage research efforts that will serve as a foundation for future SSL technological developments.”

New this year, the R&D workshop sessions will be a single day program followed by a one-day workshop on SSL technology trends hosted by the Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance (NGLIA). A pre-workshop tour of the DOE’s Connected Lighting Test Bed, will take place on November 7.

According to the preliminary agenda, Day One sessions will cover a variety of topics including horticultural lighting, light and health, color rendering and TM-30 developments, streetlighting and sky glow, and LED efficacy.
