image/jpeg iconHinkley’s Atlantis outdoor wall sconce may subscribe to minimalist design theory, but it packs a powerful punch that made LFT judges take notice. Featuring two 4.5W LEDs concealed inside glare-reducing architecture, this eco-conscious beauty earns points for being both energy-efficient and Dark Sky compliant. www.hinkleylighting.com [1]
image/jpeg iconSecuring an LFT award for the second year in a row, Cooper Lighting came through in the 2012 contest with its IRiS P3LED. The 3½-inch-aperture recessed LED series features interchangeable optics, 365-degree rotation, 45-degree tilt and dimmability to 10 percent. This powerhouse fixture also boasts a lifespan of 50,000 hours. www.cooperlighting.com [2]
image/jpeg iconTech Lighting scored a home run with its sleek undercabinet fixture. The offering touts tightly clustered blue pump LEDs, a 98 percent reflective mixing chamber and a remote phosphor lens all in a housing that is less than an inch deep. While the remote phosphor eliminates hot spots, the fixture’s multiple-point sources of light mitigate shadows. Available in 2700K and 3000K, it also dims to 15 percent. www.techlighting.com [3]
image/jpeg iconAFX Lighting (formerly American Fluorescent) confirmed its renewed focus on solid-state lighting solutions under its new brand. The adjustable Centre contemporary LED pendant impressed the 2012 judges with its “incredibly smooth and perfectly counter-balanced pulley system,” as well as its use of a replaceable 7W GU10-based light engine that produces 470 lumens and a color temperature of 2700K. www.afxlighting.com [4]
image/jpeg iconThe latest addition to Lithonia’s linkABL family, this LED undercabinet fixture includes 3000K LEDs, an on-board driver, a swivel head and linkable functionality. www.lithonia.com [5]
image/jpeg iconThis contemporary 45W LED pendant is available in 3500K and 5000K color temperatures and offers 50,000 hours of consistent, shadowless light. www.maxlite.com [6]
image/jpeg iconThe remote-controlled LED six-light fully programmable fixed track comprises six fully adjustable and individually dimmable track heads, operable with a user-friendly remote interface. www.evolutionlightingllc.com [7]
image/jpeg iconLittleFootprint designed its ergonomic and energy-efficient HeronLED task lamp using recycled electronic devices. www.lfplighting.com [8]
image/jpeg iconThis 4-inch LED downlight series produces more than 600 lumens and features the latest high-lumen output array binned for superior fixture-to-fixture color uniformity. www.junolightinggroup.com [9]
image/jpeg iconThis dimmable LED puck light kit features a 36,000 hour lifespan, a plug-in transformer and the option to add up to six puck lights. www.goodearthlighting.com [10]
image/jpeg iconA reinterpretation of a traditional desk lamp, Flex maintains excellent light quality while offering several adjustable color temperatures and manual dimming. www.cielux.com [11]
image/jpeg iconThe modern-minded LED Desk lamp features a 135-degree vertical pivot and an LED-lit knob that adjusts the temperature of the light from 2700 to 6500K. www.prismgeneration.com [12]
image/jpeg iconThis PAR30-equivalent LED fixture features a fully adjustable and dimmable track head powered by an LED that touts a lifespan of more than 5,000 hours. www.evolutionlightingllc.com [13]
image/jpeg iconWhile this decorative fixture doesn’t meet stringent Energy Star® requirements, LFT judges praised it for offering “beautiful light quality” using high-efficacy technology and substantially fewer watts than traditional light sources. The WaveForm chandelier from Hart Lighting features a woven metal diffuser grazed by 18 LEDs, each shrouded by a honeycomb louver. www.hartlighting.net [14]
image/jpeg iconLighting Science swept the LED Replacement Lamp category with wins for two bulbs from its Definity family. The lauded PAR30 short neck bulb is designed to replace the high-wattage incandescent and halogen light sources usually found in track fixtures or recessed ceiling cans. The unique design offers multiple beam patterns to fit a wide range of applications and is available in four color temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 5000K. www.lsgc.com [15]
image/jpeg iconLFT judges awarded Lighting Science a second award for its Definity BR30 bulb. Like the PAR30, the BR30 replaces the high-wattage incandescent bulbs usually found in recessed ceiling cans. In fact, the lamp mimics the design of a traditional incandescent BR30 bulb. It is also available in four color temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 5000K. www.lsgc.com [16]
image/jpeg iconLFT veteran Osram Sylvania took the top award in the brand-new LED retrofit kit category with its 6-inch LED recessed downlight kit. Designed to fit standard 6-inch insulated ceiling, non-insulated ceiling and airtight housings, the adjustable gimbal is suitable for slanted ceilings and wall washing and provides excellent color rendering and dimmability to 20 percent. www.sylvania.com [17]
image/jpeg iconGlimpse, this low-profile LED retrofit kit from Lighting Science Group, looks like a traditional recessed light and fits 5- or 6-inch recessed downlight applications. www.lsgc.com [18]
image/jpeg iconThe user-friendly adorne lighting control system offers customizable lighting scenes at the touch of a single button, and with the addition of the company’s Whole-House Mobile Interface Controller, homeowners can program and select lighting scenes from their smartphones, tablets, PC computers or from a wireless remote control. www.adornemyhome.com [19]
