by jbs100208 i3 — October 6, 2008—The sixth annual Lighting for Tomorrow competition attracted a large group of new designs in energy-efficient lighting, including 56 solid state lighting (SSL) models incorporating light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and 40 models using compact fluorescent lighting (CFL), say the organizers.
The competition is organized by the American Lighting Association, the US Department of Energy (DOE) (represented by DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory), and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, with the help of more than two dozen energy efficiency organizations.
The competition is designed to stimulate the market for attractive, energy-efficient residential lighting fixtures that use a fraction of the electricity of standard incandescent fixtures. By encouraging new designs and technologies, Lighting for Tomorrow aims to increase market acceptance and awareness of the growing opportunities in energy-efficient lighting.
