The DLC Resource Hub

Welcome to the DLC resource hub! DLC resources are based on thorough industry research and rooted in our team’s extensive expertise. As a leader in energy efficient lighting, it’s our mission to achieve energy optimization by enabling controllability with a focus on quality, people, and the environment. Use the DLC’s resources to see how you can save energy, improve costs, and reduce your climate impact.


Research and Reports

The DLC publishes research and develops resources to help communicate important lighting topics in each program area.

Events and Webinars

The DLC regularly holds webinars and events to engage with our Members, lighting manufacturers, and other important lighting industry stakeholders. See what the DLC has planned and register today.

Technical Resources

The DLC maintains a library of technical resources related to key lighting topics and the understanding and implementation of our Technical Requirements.

On-Demand Webinars

The DLC records all webinars we present and host, so you’ll always have access in the event you were unable to attend – or just want to re-watch a webinar for a refresher.

Trainings

Unfamiliarity with how to design, install, and commission networked lighting controls is a key barrier that prevents widespread adoption and increases the cost of the technology. To address this barrier, the DLC has developed training programs for the design and installation of networked lighting controls.

The DLC Blog

The DLC blog is intended to educate, inform, and provide a platform for discussion for the DLC’s many stakeholders. We post technical and non-technical content, perspectives related to LED lighting, networked lighting controls, utility programs, the DLC mission, and other relevant industry developments.

Case Studies

In partnership with the US Department of Energy (DOE) and DLC Member utilities, the DLC developed a series of case studies to showcase networked lighting controls, results, and lessons learned.
