On behalf of DOE’s SSL Program, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is planning to conduct a study examining dirt depreciation and other optical changes occurring in LED street or area lights over long-term periods of performance, potentially approaching their full life cycles. For the study, PNNL seeks LED street or area lights that, ideally, are nearing the end of their anticipated life; however, any luminaire with more than 10,000 cumulative hours of operation will be considered.
