Abstract
The global lighting market’s transformation from legacy light sources to solid-state lighting was enabled in part by the thoughtful and deliberative development of industry consensus performance, measurement, product, and safety standards. Just as light emitting diodes (LEDs) markedly reduced the amount of material associated with electric light sources, additive manufacturing offers the same promise for the luminaires enclosing them. With SSL componentry now commoditized and the architecture, engineering and construction sectors working to identify more sustainable manufacturing methods of the future, additive manufacturing is poised to disrupt lighting markets yet again. These are still early days, but not too early to begin discussing how standardization will help enable the 3D-printed illuminated environment of the future.
