JUDGING PROCESS
A total of 138 products arrived at the
judging facility in Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina, for the December
1-3, 2010, judging event. Underwriters
Laboratory staff spent four weeks installing
products so that each could be individually
illuminated and viewed as intended for its
typical application.
While the performance categories and
evaluation criteria were generally similar,
various applications demanded some
differentiation. Thus, products were first
grouped by application and judged in
these groups.
Exterior products were reviewed outside,
at night, and at proper mounting heights to
allow judges to evaluate products in their
intended environment.
Judges David Malman, Barbara Horton, Mary Matteson Bryan, David
Ghatan, Gabe Arnold, and Kevin Houser take notes on entries as they
judge to provide constructive feedback to product manufacturers.
The panel of 12 judges, drawn from across
the architectural lighting community, evaluated the products by assessing their lighted performance
and appearance, adjustment (where applicable), construction, energy effectiveness, and industrial
design. In order to take advantage of the panel’s diverse experience, judges were initially asked to rate
products individually, rather than push for consensus.
The UL team set up a 40' long truss and elevated it to 25' and then
12' to review the outdoor products at intended application
mounting heights.
Avi Mor carefully examines product details on an installed downlight.
The competition organizers wish to offer special thanks to the Underwriters Laboratory for hosting the
2010 judging event. Without UL staff patience and attention to detail in installing the 138 submitted
products, the competition would not have been possible.
w w w. n g l d c . o rg
JUDGING PROCESS
To assess serviceability and the
replacement of LED modules and drivers,
judges examined and de-constructed
additional “tabletop” samples provided by
the entrants. In many cases, judges tried to
simulate how maintenance personnel would
have to service the installed product.
The judges also reviewed submitted
reference materials, including photometric
files (LM-79 and LM-80 test reports
and other documentation), LED data
sheets, driver specifications, dimming
specifications, and other material.
Nancy Clanton, Avi Mor, and David Ghatan inspect duplicate tabletop
products for serviceability and replacement criteria.
At the end of the initial judging process,
the entire group reviewed the group
scores and discussed each product. The
first consideration was whether each
judge would recommend the product
for specification: the prerequisite for
the “Recognized” winners. Thirty-seven
products were ultimately selected by the
judging panel by this standard.
Among the Recognized products, the
judges then considered whether any
merited "Best in Class" selection. To be
awarded Best in Class, products needed
both to rate highly overall and to stand out
from the rest of the group. The judges
were not required to select a Best in Class
winner in every category. Four products
were selected Best in Class this year.
Some products did not fit into typical
applications, while others were
acknowledged for a particular aspect of
design or performance. So, a new category
was added this year for "Notable" products.

product’s adjustability.
After the on-site judging event, NGL staff
conducted additional focused reviews of
submitted documents. Particular attention
was given to the LM-79 documentation to
verify product performance. While it was
not possible to verify life claims, supporting
LM-80 documentation was required and
reviewed. A number of products could
not be recognized because of insufficient
documentation.

EValuation criteria
The products featured in this catalogue are the best of the products submitted. They meet all the
judging criteria and would be specified by most of the judges on the panel.
The primary goal of the judging panel’s evaluation was to select quality products that are more energy
efficient than alternative sources in a given application. In a few instances, an awarded product’s
efficacy was not as high as the panel would have desired, but provided quality light with light levels
required for an application more efficiently than other alternatives. In these instances the judges
chose to recognize the product but encouraged the manufacturer to increase the product’s efficacy as
technology improves.
Some judges also put a priority on their ability to dismantle, maneuver, focus, and operate all of the
fixtures. If the judges were not able to re-assemble the product it was typically not recognized.
The judges scored each entry on color appearance and rendering, appropriate illuminance and
luminance, serviceability and replacement, energy efficiency, product depreciation data, dimmability,
cost, and aesthetic appearance and style. The judging panel awarded bonus points for entries
exhibiting desirable characteristics such as adjustability, flexibility, and innovation.
Life Ratings
Realistic projections of the expected life of LED luminaires are a critical concern. Although the
standards for rating LED luminaires are not yet fully established, progress continues to be made. RECOGNIZED
Without an industry standard method for establishing the life of LED luminaires, we were unable
to certify the life ratings claimed by each entry. Currently, life ratings are based upon probabilistic
projections rather than on actual measurement. As a result we elected not to publish the life ratings
claimed for the products in this catalog. This is unlike photometric data, which are based upon
independent laboratory tests using the industry standard IES LM-79 test procedure.
To support the emerging methodology for evaluating and rating LED products for life, NGL required
data for each entry based on current industry standards and best practices. These included the LED
drive current used for the product, the LED manufacturer’s estimated LED life (L70), IES-LM80 test
data from the chip manufacturer, a photo or schematic of the temperature measurement point, and in
situ temperature measurement in UL 1598 environment for seven hours. These data were secured for
all of the products listed in this catalog, which means that their manufacturers followed the most upto-date industry practices at the time of the judging. NGL encourages all readers to evaluate products personally, to consider the effect of their end-use
application on life ratings, and to secure additional information from luminaire manufacturers to back
up their published ratings.

required documents
In order to make the competition even more useful to lighting designers and specifiers, the
documentation requirements, which were stringent to begin with, were tightened up even further
for 2010. As a result, of the 328 products that had been proposed as submissions (by 120 different
manufacturers), only 138 actually made it to the judging phase. The rest were rejected either
because they weren’t ready for market or because required documentation was not available. Several
additional products which were preliminarily awarded by the judging panel were dropped because of
insufficient documentation. Documentation supporting life claims was the most challenging for entrants.
The following documents were used by the judges to evaluate the entries.
• Luminaire photometric reports conducted according to LM-79 from an independent
testing lab.
• IES LM-63 formatted test report following IES LM-79 and testing report provided
by independent lab.
• Integrating sphere output report showing luminaire CRI, CCT, and spectral power
distribution.
• Color consistency specification statement.
• Luminaire specification sheet.
• Full published LED data sheet.
• Luminaire depreciation test data or LM-80 data from chip manufacturer.
• Product photo or schematic showing temperature measurement point (TMP).
• Other documentation substantiating life claims as deemed appropriate by the entrant.
• Driver specification sheets.
• Dimming interface specification sheet (dimming entries).
• Installation/serviceability instruction sheet.
• Product warranty statement.
• End-of-life policy statement.
• Product photos.
• Marketing materials.

BEST IN CLASS
The judges evaluated white light, general illumination products available for specification in
the commercial market. The panel initially selected 37 products from the 138 reviewed as
“Recognized,” meaning the panel would recommend these 37 products to other specifiers. From
all the Recognized, market-ready products, the judges were asked—at their discretion—to identify
any that they considered “Best in Class.” To attain this level, a product had to both stand out
from the others and be evaluated at the top of a majority of evaluation categories. Thus, products
named Best in Class had to be more than just the highest ranked of the group. Not all entry
categories were awarded this distinction. The 2010 Best in Class winners are as follows:

Lo-Glo
Landscape Forms
www.landscapeforms.com
Lo-Glo is a family of pathway and pedestrian scaled luminaires with a warm color of high CRI
illumination, which is claimed to support the circadian cycle and human health. Replaceable and
sealed LED cartridge of cast aluminum works with the housing and integrated pole to provide
thermal management.
Model Numbers: G117
Judging Comments
The judges were excited by the luminaire design
of the Lo-Glo and voiced comments such as:
“innovative,” “looks great,” and “love this
direction.” However, there was concern over
the low efficacy and the limited shielding, which
allowed some visible brightness from a distance.

ABOUT THE IES & IALD
IES
The IES is a collegial community dedicated to improving the lighted environment.
The IES is composed of a diverse membership, all with an interest in and a dedication to good
lighting. 25% of the membership is involved in manufacturing (lamps, sources, luminaires,
accessories); another 25% is composed of lighting designers and architects. The remaining 50%
is composed of consultants, electrical and building contractors, distributors, and wholesalers,
individuals working in affiliated lighting fields, those working for utilities and energy services, and
people in government and education.
Over one thousand of these members serve on committees, most serving on the Society’s
document development committees; these committees develop standards, design guides,
technical memoranda, lighting energy management materials, guidelines and lighting
measurement, testing and calculation guides.
IALD
Governed by an 11-member board of directors, the IALD is a volunteer association that relies on
the active participation of its members. The over 700 lighting designers around the world who are
members of the IALD hold a position of distinction and authority in the lighting design profession.
RECOGNIZED
Founded in 1969 and based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, the International Association of Lighting
Designers (IALD) is an internationally recognized organization dedicated solely to the concerns
of independent, professional lighting designers. The IALD strives to set the global standard for
lighting design excellence by promoting the advancement and recognition of professional lighting
designers. Value Lighting designers are a tremendous resource of innovative, practical and
economically viable lighting solutions. They understand the role of lighting in architectural and
interior design and utilize their extensive experience and knowledge of lighting equipment and
systems to enhance and strengthen design.
