The DesignLights Consortium (DLC) has announced that five new members have been added to the Industry Advisory Committee (IAC), a 15-member body of lighting professionals who provide advice and support for the mission and strategic direction of the DLC.
“The DLC is excited to welcome these new IAC members as we begin implementing significant updates to our Solid-State Lighting (SSL) and LUNA technical requirements and continue to promote implementation of lighting controls,” DLC Executive Director and CEO Tina Halfpenny said. “Along with the existing members, they bring breadth and depth of experience in lighting technology, and we look forward to collaborating with them in the months and years ahead.”
An advisory body that meets quarterly, the IAC supports the mission and strategic direction of the DLC to promote the adoption of quality lighting and controls technology through education, collaborations, and expertise. Its activities include consideration of DLC program updates and initiatives to advance connected lighting and lighting quality, as well as ongoing opportunities, challenges, and potential risks related to advancement of energy-saving lighting technologies.
As outlined in the IAC’s charter, its members may include designees from up to four lighting manufacturers with the highest number of listings on the DLC’s SSL Qualified Products List (QPL), as well as designees from two small lighting manufacturers (fewer than 250 employees) with products on the SSL or Horticultural QPL; two medium manufacturers ( 250 to 1,000 employees) listed on the SSL or Horticultural QPL; three lighting controls manufacturers with products on the Networked Lighting Controls QPL; two lighting distributors; and two specifiers.
