Consumerizing Solid State Lighting (CSSL) is an Eniac Project.

LED (Light-emitting diodes) lamps are a fast emerging technology which is considered as the true alternative to the Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL). Many commercial products are now available for professional application; however there is rarely any LED retrofit product which meets all the expectations of consumers in terms of price, light output and other functionalities at the same time.

The Consumerizing Solid State Lighting (CSSL) project aims to develop and demonstrate affordable Smart Solid State Light sources for consumers via both technology and application routes. The proposed CSSL project works vertically across the entire value chain from LED die, light source, consumer luminaires, controls and dimmer companies aiming to achieve substantial cost reduction. The CSSL project will also work with the energy companies to both gain valuable end user insights and explore new business model that would further promote and develop the consumer LED retrofit market.
