For Immediate Release 

Lighting for Tomorrow 2012 Winners Announced!

Scottsdale, AZ - the tenth annual Lighting for Tomorrow competition
recognizes the best designed, energy efficient lighting products entering
the residential market. The 2012 competition featured energy efficient light
emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures, replacement lamps, fixture retrofit
kits, and lighting controls. Lighting for Tomorrow continues to challenge
manufacturers to improve their design of solid-state lighting (SSL) products
that will meet consumers' expectations. Over the last three years, Lighting
for Tomorrow, has encouraged lighting control manufacturers to enter
lighting control devices with the requirement that they be compatible with
energy efficient technologies, such as fluorescent or LEDs. The 2012 judging

Triangle Park, NC reviewed a total of 124 products including, 67 LED
fixtures, 34 LED lamps, 13 LED retrofit kits, and 10 lighting control
devices. This was the largest number of entries Lighting for Tomorrow has
