Grant Description: Solid State Lighting Product Development Area of Interest 2: High Efficiency, Reliable, Intelligent Electronics for LEDs High efficiency, reliable, intelligent power supplies and specialized electronics for LED products are already under development for applications that presently demand them. As a result, products for non-general illumination applications tend to drive the development of these electronics potentially limiting their efficiency and performance for general illumination needs. Moreover, the present day, commercially available power supplies are limited in capability and do not include the flexibility and functionality required to fully satisfy the unique performance requirements anticipated for successful near-term SSL products. While the final, longer- term product vision for SSL remains unknown, it is clear that near-term SSL products, built upon existing technology or research supported under the DOE LR D program or elsewhere, may become commercial successes by serving the immediate needs of the general illumination industry. Thus, highly efficient, reliable, flexible, intelligent and advanced electronics will be required to power or be a part of these nearer term SSL devices and systems. Even though the final SSL products may not possess the same power requirements as the near-term products, development of specialized power supplies and intelligent electronics tailored to these near-term products may allow them to be as efficient as possible. Thus, high-reliability, programmable power supplies and drive electronics that are either designed for compatibility with existing products or are flexible or adaptive enough to accommodate future SSL innovations are sought. Applications that include special features such as dimming, networking, controls and maintenance of luminous output over their lifetime will be a special interest. Only applications that specifically address this opportunity will be accepted under this area of interest. Each application shall fully describe the innovation and compare performance of it to existing electronics. Price and performance comparisons between existing electronics and the anticipated innovation must be included in each application.
