Acknowledgment of DOE Technology Manager James Brodrick

“DOE has done an impressive job in leveraging a relatively small level of funding to play a leading role nationally and internationally in stimulating the development of SSL. DOE leadership and support is widely recognized throughout the lighting industry as a driving force for quality as well as energy efficiency.”National Academy of Sciences, 2013 review

Thank you, Jim!
