Lately, the research and development team from Energy Focus, Inc. have received a $600,000 Phase 2 Small Business Technology Transfer ("STTR") program grant named as “Innovative Solid State Lighting Replacements for Industrial and Test Facility Locations," from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA").

Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO, was delighted to have received the Phase 2 notification grant, and commented that “The award is to replace existing test stand and parking lot fixtures with high performance LED lighting including Hazardous Location and Explosion-Proof lights that build off of technology first conceived under DARPA SBIRs. The work allows us to develop the concepts we presented to NASA in our Phase 1 work."
