The Lightfair Innovation Awards, sponsored by Architectural Lighting Magazine and elumit.com, honored five products out of 218 submissions with the following awards:
Kite by Peerless Lighting.
Most Innovative Product of the Year: Calculite Solid-State Downlights by Lightolier/Philips
Design Excellence Award: Kite by Peerless Lighting/Acuity Brands Lighting
Technical Innovation Award: Luxeon Rebel ES from Philips Lumileds Lighting Company
Technical Innovation Award: SST-90-W by Luminus Devices
Judges’ Citation Award: LM-80-08 Approved Method for Measuring Lumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources from the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)
Every single one of these products is LED.
Who would have guessed just 3 years ago that LED general lighting products would take all of the top awards?
Check out these and other products exhibited at Lightfair here.
On another note, for some reason, LED light sources are still considered “specialty lamps” and controls and ballasts are still considered “other” products. I hope to see the event’s categorization of products catch up to the times in 2010.
