... The global adoption of LEDs, shown in Figure 2.1, is only just beginning. Strategies Unlimited forecasts that SSL GLOBAL LIGHTING MARKET: penetration of the global installed base will grow rapidly STATUS AND POTENTIAL from less than 5 percent in 2014 to greater than 30 percent by 2020.2 As can be seen in Table 2.1, different sources of The penetration of SSL has increased dramatically since market data report somewhat different results, but they all the 2013 Assessment of Advanced Solid-State Lighting report indicate a growing market share for LED lighting in lamps (NRC, 2013)

The two product applications source energy savings of nearly 5 quadrillion British thermal with the biggest potential energy savings are low/high bay units (quads) is roughly in agreement with the 2035 projected fixtures and linear fixtures, where LED technology replaces source energy savings in the recent energy savings forecast fluorescent and HID lighting.

... At the higher end, Congress has authorized funding for the L-prizes (Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prizes) , which are intended to "spur lighting manufacturers to develop high-quality, high-efficiency SSL products to replace the common incandescent light bulb." Three such awards were authorized, one for an LED replacement for the 60 W incanFIGURE 2.7  Split between core, manufacturing, and product re- descent lamp, another for an LED replacement for the PAR search and development spending for fiscal year 2015.

... been more than 230 cost-shared R&D-funded projects that The recent administrations in Washington, D.C., and Calihave resulted in more than 245 patents and, as discussed in fornia have been very active in regulating lighting products Chapter 1, many SSL products are currently on the market for energy efficiency since the 2013 NRC report. In addition, with efficacies around 125 to 135 lumens per watt,15 with several other state governments have shown an increased some laboratory demonstrations reaching 200 lm/W.16 The focus on recycling programs for mercury-containing prodlighting industry is very much aware of the market pres- ucts, affecting manufacturers of fluorescent and HID lamps sures and requirements for products with good lighting through "extended producer responsibility."

The government has proposed a ban on the manufacture and importation of fluorescent lamps starting in 2020.51 The Japanese lighting industry expects all new luminaire shipments to be using SSL technology by 2020, and the Japa nese government has set a goal to have the entire installed base of luminaires in buildings as well as outdoors converted to SSL by 2030. Other Countries and Regions Many other governments regulate lighting products for energy efficiency and are starting programs to phase out incandescent lamps.
