Lumileds joins California Lighting Technology Center affiliate program

LED maker Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has become an affiliate member of the California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC), which is based at University of California at Davis.

As a member, Philips Lumileds is working with luminaire manufacturers to develop market-ready applications (based on the firm’s LUXEON LEDs) that meet the energy efficiency and lighting quality levels required by EnergyStar and other similar regional and national guidelines.

“Our affiliation with the CLTC supports the development of specification and architectural-grade solutions using our LUXEON Rebel and LUXEON K2 power LEDs,” says Jay Shuler, Lumileds’ regional marketing manager for the Americas. “By working with the CLTC, our customers will gain access to new opportunities with state agencies, utilities and businesses eager to adopt solid-state lighting solutions,” he adds.

Established through a collaborative effort between the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program of the California Energy Commission (CEC) and University of California at Davis with support from the US Department of Energy and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, the CLTC is a research and education facility that focuses on the application of energy-efficient lighting and daylighting technologies through research, development, demonstration, outreach and education in partnership with utilities, manufacturers, end-users, builders, designers, and governmental agencies.

The center conducts both cooperative and independent activities with lighting manufacturers, electrical utilities and the design and engineering professional communities. These partnerships facilitate the commercialization of products developed at CLTC in accordance with its mission to bring viable research-based projects to the commercial marketplace in two years or less.
