LED Measurement and Application to Enhance Sustainability and Energy Savings

Dear Colleagues,

Solid State Lighting (SSL) and LED revolutionized the efficiency, appearance and quality of lighting. Sustainable applications of SSL and LED cover a wide set of topics where SSL/LED can have different impacts on the process and application in general terms.

The usage of LED lighting for general lighting has become a well-established practice thanks to its undeniable energy performance. However, currently the attention is focused not only on energy efficiency but also on the endless opportunities of providing fully adaptable lighting to the broadest range of applications: from general lighting to horticultural lighting, including Industrial applications and colourful and dynamic lighting. The potential to use LED lighting to benefit well-being and productivity is huge, however the ease of use must not hide the need for research especially on the broadest sustainability impact.

This Special Issue aims to collect the original research that contributes to describe new approaches in design, production, life cycle assessment and recycling, lighting applications and industrial applications of Solid State Lighting sources and LED.

We invite scholars from around the world to submit to this Special Issue of Sustainability. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

(1) Sustainable production of SSL and LED;

(2) SSL and LED sustainable applications for outdoor and indoor lighting;

(3) Life cycle assessment and recycling

(4) Innovative applications of LED in Industry 4.0, Smart Cities and Smart Buildings

(5) SSL and LED impact on lighted environment sustainability considering also the photobiological aspect of lighting (including horticultural applications) and lighting pollution

(6) Human being and LED lighting, photobiological and non-photobiological aspects of Solid State Lighting
