<p>The Department for Education has no plans at present to issue guidance to schools
and sixth form colleges to replace all lighting in schools with LED lights. The Department
of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) together with the Carbon Trust and the Energy
Saving Trust take the lead for government on research and publication of advice on
LEDs. DECC are currently funding research and product development of LED lighting
technology.</p><p>Departmental specifications quote the guidance on lighting design
for schools produced by the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL), specifically <em>Lighting
for education</em>, Lighting Guide No 5, published in 2011 (LG5). The Department worked
with SLL to produce LG5 which replaced the Department’s Building Bulleting 90 <em>Lighting
Design for Schools</em> in 2011. SLL has also published Guidelines for <em>Specification
of LED Lighting Products</em>, 2012.</p>
