The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published a new Lighting Market Characterization (LMC) report for baseline year 2020. The new report details how many lighting products (lamps and luminaires) were installed in the U.S. as of 2020, where they were installed, and how much energy they consumed. It also highlights key changes in U.S. lighting market characteristics between 2015 and 2020.
This is the fourth edition of the LMC report; previous versions were released in 2002, 2012 and 2017. By publishing summary estimates of installed stock and energy use of various general illumination lighting products, these reports help DOE and others plan effective lighting research and development programs based on changing needs.
