Adaptive Full-Spectrum Solar Energy Systems Project Team Members view HSL for first time. The meeting was held November 13, 2002, at the NTRC facility. 
 

ORNL researchers Duncan Earl and Tonya McFadden install a large-core optical fiber in a "hybrid" light fixture. The hybrid fixture being developed by ORNL combines light from both the sun and electric lamps to more energy-efficiently illuminate commercial buildings where lighting is the single largest consumer of electricity.
