Two new resources from Lighting Africa
Lighting Africa has just released two new handsome resources in its Briefing Notes series.
Lighting Efficiency and Product Design Optimization
The steadily increasing efficacy and decreasing cost of LEDs is creating opportunities to provide more light for longer periods to off-grid consumers. This note presents a basic framework for understanding how lighting system efficiency can affect overall product design. It will be helpful and informative for any stakeholder who is interested in the implications for manufacturers and consumers of LED technology trends.
Interpreting Standardized Specification Sheets (SSS)
In response to broad demand from the industry and stakeholders, Lighting Africa has launched a Standardized Specification Sheet (SSS) program. The specification sheets provide third-party verification (via the Lighting Africa website) of quality and performance for off-grid lighting products that have been tested according to the Lighting Africa Quality Test Method (LA-QTM). This briefing note provides guidance for interpreting the information on a specification sheet. You can access the specification sheets for the various products that have been tested at www.lightingafrica.org/specs.>
