I am a distributor for LED lights and in the process of developing a driver for LED linear lights with the US Military and government facilities as our primary market.

We woould like to build our driver based on these spec.

Can anyone point me to the rights direction?

Also, any discussion and feedback of what you think of LED light technology (SSL) would be appreciated.

I am new to the forum.

Go to GSA.Gov... you'll find valuable information on how to do business with the Federal Government

.

Peggy, I didn't understand what you're asking. If you want more of a reply, explain why you mentioned DOE in the title but not the question, and explain what you mean by "driver."

If you are looking for an existing government spec, say so.

Brian,

I apologize if my post is not in the correct format.

What I am asking is if anyone can help me find the DOE requirement for manufacture of LED tubular lights, the most current version.

Also, any information anyone have as to technical spec for these type of lights.

A driver for LED lights are the power supply or ballast.

Best,

Peggy

Does that help at all ? I think G Joru was suggesting this same information may be available on-line. I've never looked for MIL-SPECS or Government Specs there, but its worth a look.

Another place to look might be an old solicitation for the product you offer. Search fbo.gov.

Peggy,

I'm still not clear on what you are looking for. Do you see the Federal government as a unique market for your product? Normally the government buys and uses items brought and sold in the commercial market. If the Government has some special need that can't be met by a commercial market, they develop a specification or some other statement of requirements industry proposes against.

However, I don't see the Government having a unique need for LED lights. Perhaps one part of the government might like a specialized application for the military. If so some part of DoD might develop a specification. The way to find out more is contact that part of the government where you think there's a match. Unless the need for that kind of LED lights is large, you may not find a government or evenb military specification.

I'm also wondering about your question on DOE. Energey won't be specifying governmnet requirements for LED lights. Perhaps they might put out standards for lights but it would be for the national consumers and not the government.
