DOE Publishes Updated Recommendations for Testing and Reporting LED Luminaire Lifetime
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published an updated version of the guide LED Luminaire Lifetime: Recommendations for Testing and Reporting, the latest edition in a series of publications on LED product performance and lifetime. The guide was developed by a working group under the auspices of DOE and the Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance, composed of a diverse group of experts in reliability, lighting, and LED technology. Their recommendations are an important step toward consistent, industry-wide understanding of LED luminaire lifetime, and will assist standards organizations in their work.

The Maastricht University Medical Center+ and Philips Investigated the Effect of Light on the Sleep-Wake Rhythm of Cardiac Patients
The research shows that after seven days in a patient room fitted with HealWell ? a new lighting system developed by Philips which mimics the natural day/night cycle outdoors ? patients sleep on average 8% longer. After one week in a patient room fitted with standard lighting, on the other hand, patients' sleep duration was in fact slightly shorter than on the first night.

Lighting Research Center Authors National Academies Report on New Roadway Lighting Technologies
The rapid development of lighting technologies, particularly solid-state systems using light emitting diodes (LEDs), has opened a universe of new possibilities as well as new questions about roadway lighting in the U.S., which for decades has been dominated by the use of high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps. Other light source technologies have also been angling for roadway market share. There is a critical need for objective technical information about new types of roadway lighting among transportation agencies. In response, the Transportation Research Board (TRB), part of the National Academies, initiated a project to evaluate new lighting technologies and identify new metrics for comparison. Lighting Research Center (LRC) scientists John Bullough, who served as principal investigator, and Leora Radetsky co-authored the report, entitled "Analysis of New Highway Lighting Technologies." The LRC is part of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the nation’s oldest technological research university.
