Full Description
Amendment 000001 to DE-FOA-0001558. To view the changes associated with this amendment, please refer to the EERE Exchange website. The U.S. DOE Building Technologies Office Emerging Technologies program is announcing the availability of up to 3 million dollars in funding to develop energy efficient replacement lamps in general illumination applications.
DOE seeks projects to develop suitable replacement lamps that meet or exceed the 45 lm/W backstop requirement for one or more incandescent general service lamp categories and that maintain the base, shape, and lumen output of the incandescent lamps they are designed to replace. The objectives of this funding opportunity are to: Accelerate development of replacement lamps that maintain the needed performance attributes of the incandescent lamps they replace while eliminating or minimizing any performance compromises Overcome technical challenges that inhibit widespread market acceptance and impede the design, development and future sale of suitable and compliant lighting products for the identified general service lamp categories Offer consumer choice The full Funding Opportunity Announcement is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE Exchange website.
