The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published LSD 45-2009 Recommendations for Solid-State Lighting Sub-Assembly Interfaces for Luminaires.

This new white paper, prepared by the NEMA Solid State Lighting Section, covers the design and construction of interconnects for solid-state lighting applications. It compiles the latest industry information regarding mechanical, electrical, and thermal connections and documents existing industry best practices.

NEMA has also published LSD 51-2009 Solid-State Lighting—Definitions for Functional and Decorative Applications.

This new white paper illustrates and clarifies the differences between functional and decorative SSL luminaires and provides guidelines for the specification of the major characteristics, performance criteria, and evaluation process needed for these products. It is designed to provide useful information to the public, and may also assist the government and other groups in SSL specification development.

LSD 51-2009 was prepared by the NEMA Next Generation Lighting Alliance (NGLIA), the NEMA Solid State Lighting Section, and the American Lighting Association.
