Mission Statement Product Description The end result of these projects will be enhanced lighting solutions for use somewhere on RIT's campus. Lighting applications exist everywhere from standard lab illumination to decorative highlight fixtures to personal work lights used by RIT staff. LED technology will be explored and applied to one of these functional areas. Key Business Goals The primary goal for this project is the decrease lighting energy costs to meet rapidly increasing demand on campus at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The solution pursued under the scope of this project may encompass one or more of the following additional goals: 1. An LED product for one-to-one replacement with current technology 2. An LED lighting fixture for use in a specific application on RIT's campus 3. An LED technology platform 4. A complete LED lighting package Primary considerations will include: Product Efficiency, Product Effectiveness, Cost & Robustness
Identify Customer Needs Needs Statements from Facilities Management: Easily standardized between lighting fixtures Needs to be cheap Recyclable Avoid bat cave look Try to spread the light out Attain the most foot candles possible Obtain a light with a higher CRI Better lighting Specify different colors - white light, warm light, etc. Vandal-resistant Relatively easy to install Keep peak demand low Decrease energy bill Keep the fixture price low Solar power possible Most cost-effective method for power Good return on investment Needs to be value in the lighting and in the fixture Long life span Better efficiency of lamp and fixture
Identify Customer Needs - Interpret Hierarchy of Needs Meets Constraints Product is interchangeable with existing technologies Product performs as well or better than current systems in the areas of: Life Light Distribution (Glare Reduction vs. Cave Effect) Light Color Color Rendering Index Aesthetics Safe Durable Virtually Indestructible Tamper-resistant Withstands frequent on/off cycles Energy Efficient Product reduces RIT power demand/consumption Product minimizes energy lost to heat Cost Effective Product reduces RIT energy costs Product has low production costs Product is easy to maintain/repair/replace Product can be scaled up for mass production Product has competitive price point for consumer Environmentally Friendly Product is recyclable Product does not generate excess heat Product is adaptable to alternative energy sources

Preliminary Work Breakdown Structure Diagram Representation
Team Values and Norms Punctual Each team member will arrive on time and will notify fellow team members of any expected absences. It is important that the team member ensures that at least one member of the team confirms the notification Thorough Each team member is expected to do their assigned work in a manner such that it does not have to be redone by another, and if they feel that they have been assigned too much work to do that they seek out help from other team members or faculty consultants Accurate Each team member will accurately complete and document their work Professional and Ethical Each team member will credit work and information to the proper sources and will be trustworthy in all of their dealings. Demonstrates the core RIT values of SPIRIT. Each team member will remember that they are representing RIT and as such the reputation of RIT and the SD program are reflected in their work. Committed Each team member will contribute an equal share to the success of the project and commit to the challenge set before them with the understanding that the SD process should a fun and informative
Grading and Assessment Preliminary Grading Scheme Grade Level Senior Design I Senior Design II D Have multiple concepts in the works with a semi-clear plan for executing at least one of them Have completed concept development for at least two of the original concepts and have a project production plan for one of the concepts C Have a concept singled out and in the process of being completed Have finished concept development and begun working on the final project B Have a working concept nearly developed Have finished the bulk of product A Have finished concept development and are ready to proceed with fabrication Have a completed working product
Issues and Risks What kind of power source could be used to attach the LED lighting fixture to the RIT grid? How can we make it last for many years? How can we avoid making the light like a bat cave? How can we spread out the light? How can we keep the cost of the fixture down? How can we make it easy to install? Is there a way to decrease the peak demand? Is there a way to make the light recyclable? How will we produce the proposed product in a timely manner? How will we develop a system with a long (approximately 100,000hrs) life time? How will we make an expensive technology product inexpensive enough to make it viable on the RIT campus? Who will fund the project? Who will buy/lend purchasing aid for the product? How will this stay within the desired environmentally friendly guidelines? How will we interface all of the components of the product? How will the product be received by the stakeholders, customers, and end users? What if we lack the abilities to perform the tasks necessary for the project?
Intellectual Property Considerations Most of the work completed by the students in this track is expected to be released to the public domain. There will be some private work that only certain groups will be able to see. Facilities Management, the primary customer, will have access to all information produced by the team. This project may develop some entrepreneur opportunities, so all of the information will not be made public. Certain key aspects of the project will be kept proprietary.

Metal Halide Replacement Primary use on campus is for walkway lighting Can be seen on quarter mile Metal Halide High-intensity discharge lamp High light output for their size Operate under high pressure and temperature Point light source Require reflective devices Metal halide lamps produce light by passing an electric arc through a mixture of gases Requires electrical ballast Regulates the arc current flow Delivers the proper voltage to the arc
Future Plans Develop better target specifications Possibly improve upon the grading scheme set out for SDI and SDII Develop more specific team values and norms Determine what will happen with the PRP that is created
Applications for Developing Nations Faculty Guide Dr. Robert Stevens (ME) Currently two billion people live without clean, healthy, reliable lighting or power. Many of these people use gas and oil lamps, which produce a great deal of soot and carbon dioxide in addition to consuming vast amounts of fuel to produce relatively little usable lighting. The average income is very low in these nations, so it will be necessary for these products to be extremely inexpensive The climate in these nations will necessitate that the product be, among other things, water-proof and able to withstand extreme weather conditions This project seeks to provide a clean, reliable, inexpensive, and non-power-dependent source of light for developing nations.
Future Plans Write EPA P3 Grant or Find another source of Funding Select Materials for Benchmarking Refine PRP by: Establishing specifications and metrics Establishing more specific team values and norms Potentially redefining grading scheme

High Pressure Sodium Lamp Replacement This is a low pressure sodium lamp This is a spectrum of a high pressure sodium lamp A Basic design of a high pressure sodium lamp
Future Plans Obtain a Faculty Guide Obtain materials for Benchmarking Reserve rooms Recruit students
Compact Fluorescent Lamp Replacement Commonly used in classroom, dorm, lab replacement by LED Uses 110 V or 277V Research fixture Save energy cost Interview with customer for more detailed needs www.botany.uwc.ac.za
Future Plans Finish conducting interviews Further review old Senior Design project Develop a more complete draft of the needs assessment based on a particular direction Reserve desired workspaces and equipment before the completion of DPM Refine individual projects
T8 Replacement T8 is most common lamp used 80,000 to 100,000 in use now Approximately 25,000 are replaced all over campus annually Uses 115V~120V Very low wattage ~ 40W Already Very efficient
Future Plans Build a lamp which uses even lower wattage than the T-8 Use a strip of LED’s for efficiency Use a reflector to scatter the light for a greater lighting Use brighter LED’s Protect fixture for durability
