Thursday, October 11, 2007

Speaker: Kevin Dowling, VP of Innovation for Philips Solid-State Lighting Solutions

Description: This 90-minute live webcast, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solid-State Lighting Program, presented a broad introduction to LED technology, and discussed the technology status, advantages and disadvantages, current applications, future potential, and evolving path of LED technology from indicator lights to general illumination. The webcast included a 60-minute presentation followed by a 30-minute live question and answer session with attendees.

Background: DOE is hosting a series of live webcasts focused on key topics of interest related to solid-state lighting.  The first in the series was an overview of DOE’s Five-Year SSL Commercialization Support Plan.  Future topics may include Economics of LEDs, LED Packaging, DOE's CALiPER Testing Program, Luminaire Efficacy, and Thermal Management.
