LED Troffer and Downlight Interior General Illumination Lighting Assessment Project

Project Summary

In response to an overwhelming interest in LED general illumination lighting technology among customers in its service area, SDG&E’s objective with this assessment was to: Assess LED lighting technology, validating manufacturer claims regarding energy savings, light levels and light characteristics and perform a comparison of LED technology against traditional light sources meeting CA Title 24 requirements. This assessment demonstrated that LED general illumination ambient lighting technologies deliver lighting power densities which meet or exceed Title 24 requirements. LEDs exhibited potential for energy savings and the potential for better operation and maintenance savings.
