DesignLights Consortium Seeks Proposals to Assess and Characterize the LED Light and Wellness Commercial Lighting Market
The DLC will accept questions about the RFP until March 12, with proposals due by March 19.
The DLC is defining lighting for wellness as “optical radiation that stimulates the circadian, neuroendocrine and neurobehavioral systems in humans” as defined by the TM-18-18 publication from the Illuminating Engineering Society. The DLC Light and Wellness Market Assessment will focus on products designed and marketed to provide circadian lighting attributes such as differentiated spectral power distribution, color tuning to support different time-of-day protocols, optimized spatial distribution to increase vertical illuminance levels at the eye, and/or controllability that supports one or more of these attributes.
The project will cover the commercial office, education (K through higher education) and health care (including nursing and long-term care facilities) segments of the commercial lighting market. It does not include germicidal and antibacterial/antimicrobial lighting products, products marketed for light therapy, or product categories not included on the DLC’s Solid-State Lighting Qualified Products List (such as consumer- and residential-grade products).
