Indoor LED Luminaires: DOE CALiPER Snapshot

2-page PDF from the US DOE’s SSL people. Included (bolding by EleBlog) –

Although LED replacement lamps get a lot of attention, complete luminaires designed especially for LEDs may offer better overall performance. In fact, luminaires make up more than 70% of all products currently listed by LED Lighting Facts.

The Snapshot Report, which is based on data through the first quarter of 2014, looks at five types of luminaires intended for use indoors: downlights, industrial ambient luminaires (e.g., high-bay and low-bay), track heads, troffers (e.g., 2×4, 2×2, 1×4), and linear fixtures (e.g., linear pendants, strip lights).

Together, these five product types represent the bulk of all indoor luminaires listed by LED Lighting Facts, and about one-third of the total products listed.

They’re all typically used in applications with long hours of use, and thus consume substantial

amounts of energy.
