DOE's Lighting Prize (L-Prize) Strives to Reshape the Future of Lighting On Monday, the U.S. Department of Energy launched a new Lighting Prize (L-Prize), designed to spur ground-breaking innovation, domestic manufacturing, and the benefits of an inclusive clean energy economy for next-generation lighting solutions in commercial buildings. Watch Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm Announce the L-Prize at the Better Buildings Summit here. The L-Prize will advance the state-of-the-art in LED lighting, encouraging innovators and researchers to engage in advanced lighting system development leading to transformative designs, products, and impact. The challenging technical requirements are intended to stimulate innovative approaches that significantly raise the bar for efficiency, quality of light, connectivity, and overall environmental footprint, while incentives for domestic manufacturing create opportunities for jobs and economic impact. "Over the past decade, efforts such as the L-Prize competition, lighting standards, and consumer education have contributed to a remarkable 80 percent reduction in average light bulb energy consumption," said Kelly Speakes-Backman, Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. "The new L-Prize competition will ensure that this revolution in energy efficiency continues by accelerating the adoption of innovative lighting technologies and expanding the clean-energy workforce."
