2009 Lighting for Tomorrow Competition
Lighting for Tomorrow is looking into the future of residential lighting with its 2009 competition – with a focus on dimming fluorescent products and SSL applications. For the first time, Lighting for Tomorrow will be seeking only those fluorescent entries that are dimmable. Further, Lighting for Tomorrow will be expanding to include both screw-based CFLs and lighting fixtures in the 2009 competition. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based fixtures encouraging manufacturers to use LEDs in innovative, energy-efficient designs are also part of the competition in 2009.
2009 Competition Process
The 2009 Judging Event took place on May 14-15 at the CSA OnSpex facilities in Cleveland, OH. Winners will be announced during an award ceremony at the American Lighting Association Annual Conference in September, 2009.
2009 Pilot Application Competition
In 2009, LFT organizers are launching an additional application pilot competition focused on actual lighting installations. The pilot competition in 2009 is limited to the Avista utility service area near Spokane WA. A national application focused competition is planned for 2010.
