Life Cycle Assessment of Solid State Lighting

Abstract

This report presents an overview of published life-cycle assessments (LCA) of lightingequipment, answering the following questions on the basis of current research: What are the environmental impacts of LED products over their whole life cycle? What are the strongest contributors to the environmental impacts of LED products? How do SSL products compare with conventional lighting technologies? What are the main difficulties to perform a LCA of an LED lamp or luminaire? The LCA methodology is used to assess the environmental impacts of LED products, including acomparison with different lighting technologies. In addition, the challenges and uncertaintiesassociated with the published LED LCA studies are discussed, as the actual environmental impactof LED products can be difficult to assess.
