CATRENE - Solutions for Energy Efficient Lighting (SEEL)

Coordinator: 
Philips Lighting

Consortium:
26 partners from 4 nations 

Project:
The SEEL project is developing energy-efficient and dynamic lighting systems based on high intensity discharge lamps and solid state lighting for general and automotive lighting and specifically for the professional market. The project is focusing on the availability of smart and energy-efficient electronics which are seen as the key enabler to obtain the performance improvement desired. Use of intelligent driving schemes and integration of components will enable miniaturisation at low cost. Standardisation will play a key role to enable high volume applications. SEEL will enable cost reductions for light sources as well as securing a leading position for the European lighting industry.
