ASSIST: Alliance for Solid-State Illumination Systems and Technologies
Program Overview
The Alliance for Solid-State Illumination Systems and Technologies (ASSIST) was established in 2002 by the Lighting Research Center to advance the effective use of energy-efficient solid-state lighting and to speed its market acceptance.
As a collaboration between researchers, manufacturers, and government organizations, ASSIST has the goal to identify and reduce the major technical hurdles currently facing solid-state lighting. On behalf of ASSIST, the LRC conducts research, demonstration, and educational activities. Beyond technical research, ASSIST has been active in fostering discussions between traditional luminaire manufacturers and LED manufacturers. Through this work, ASSIST is helping LED technology to gain widespread use in lighting applications that can benefit from this rapidly advancing light source.
