SEC. 314. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE USE OF TUBULAR
LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (T-LED) LIGHTING IN THE
UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA.

It is the sense of Congress that, given the significant
cost savings and energy efficient benefits that have been
realized from the installation of tubular light-emitting
diode (T-LED) lighting aboard Navy vessels, and in order to
provide the Department of Defense greater flexibility in
lighting options which would reduce energy costs, the
Department of Defense should modify the Universal Facilities
Code to include tubular LED (T-LED) as an option within its
specifications.
