New lighting technologies including more efficient sources and smart systems and controls offer the potential to further reduce global electricity use for lighting by 50%. The SSLC Platform is actively working to develop information and analysis to transform lighting markets, improving both the energy efficiency and quality of our illuminated spaces.
The SSLC Platform member governments bring together top researchers and experts from around the world to jointly address challenges in the rapidly evolving lighting market. The activities undertaken by the SSLC Platform are complementary and supportive of the work of governments, international standardisation bodies, and the research & development being conducted by industry and academia. Through this work, the SSLC Platform is working to accelerate the global transition to solid state lighting and controls.
Two of the SSLC Platform Experts, Dr. Jiaye (Jane) Li and Dr. Yoshi Ohno, working with an independent researcher published a paper today in the journal Lighting Research & Technology: “Revision of Mp calculation method for flicker measurement”.
On Friday, 8 May, the Swedish Energy Agency and IEA 4E SSLC Platform held an in-person International Lighting Seminar with over 30 participants from across the lighting industry, including lighting designers, manufacturers, consultants, researchers and students.
A new report analysing Temporal Light Modulation metrics (PstLM and SVM) in LED lighting between 2014 and 2025. The report evaluates supplier-reported product data from the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) database and hundreds of LED lamps tested by the member governments of the SSLC Platform.
This scientific paper originated from findings during the SSLC Platform’s Interlaboratory Comparison 2023 (IC 2023), where large variations in measured MP metric values were observed among laboratories. The authors identified that these variations were primarily caused
This report discusses how Temporal Light Modulation (TLM) metrics (i.e., short-term flicker index (PstLM) and stroboscopic effect visibility measure (SVM)) for LED lighting products evolved between 2014 to 2025.
This Nucleus Laboratory Comparison report – Part 2 is part of the 2023 Interlaboratory Comparison (IC 2023). IC 2023 is investigating the degree of agreement in the measurements of temporal light modulation (TLM) quantities, in particular, short-term flicker indicator (PstLM), and stroboscopic effect visibility measure (SVM).
