time zone - convert to EDT

Hello.  In a Trigger, I want to take a datetime field and convert it to Eastern Daylight Time (always EDT - no matter what the time zone of the current user is).  I've tried using the format() method and passing the time zone that i want, but it always converts to GMT.  Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Chris,

I am having a similar problem, was just wondering if you found a solution and would like to share with me.

Try passing 'GMT-05:00' as the second parameter into format().

 

This won't take into account daylight savings time though.
