This brochure features the award-winning light emitting diode (LED), organic light emitting diode (OLED), and lighting controls products. Bringing the benefits of energy efficiency to the public is a primary focus of the utility and efficiency program sponsors of Lighting for Tomorrow. Consumers benefit from lower electricity bills, a cleaner environment, and improved public health. Utilities benefit from reduced risk and avoided costs throughout the generation, transmission, and distribution system. Lighting for Tomorrow supports the effort to bring these benefits to the public. Since 2002, Lighting for Tomorrow has recognized new residential lighting products that are both energy efficient and exceptional. The competition emphasizes products that appeal to savvy, style-conscious buyers: products that are both beautiful and highly functional, so that they add to a sense of well-being in the home. These consumers appreciate the importance of energy efficiency both for themselves and for society, but they also want products that support the design sensibility and quality of light appropriate for their homes. Lighting for Tomorrow also looks to leap over market barriers that inhibit the adoption and use of energy efficient residential lighting products. LEDs and OLEDs are evolving technologies, and since 2006, Lighting for Tomorrow has aimed to support their successful integration into light bulbs (replacement lamps), retrofit kits, and fixtures in ways that meet consumer needs. Another significant barrier—according to manufacturers, energy organizations, and consumers—is the compatibility of energy efficient light sources (fluorescent, LED, and OLED) with various kinds of lighting controls. In response, Lighting for Tomorrow has included lighting controls within the competition since 2010 as another energy saving technology. 2 | 2015 LIGHTING FOR TOMORROW COMPETITION AWARDS Both consumers and utilities are moving into a future of energy savings with a systems approach to dimming, integration, and connectivity with other residential products. The LED luminaires, LED retrofit kits, LED replacement lamps, OLED luminaires, and compatible lighting controls were carefully evaluated and scored by a diverse panel of expert judges based on their innovation, performance, quality, value, and design. Some products were judged clear winners since they exceeded the criteria and scored higher than other products in their respective categories. Others were recognized as honorable mentions or were given special recognition because they incorporated fresh ideas or contained innovative features of particular interest. One key requirement of the Lighting for Tomorrow competition for ensuring quality is ENERGY STAR® certification. All of the products featured in this brochure qualify for ENERGY STAR, unless otherwise noted on their individual descriptions. Lighting for Tomorrow is successful in its mission. In part due to competition publicity, the market for both fluorescent and solid-state luminaires has grown substantially. There is now an expanding range of energy efficient luminaires available for every type of home, room, and application. We hope you enjoy and purchase the products showcased in this brochure. We look forward to supporting the continued development of energy efficient residential lighting. Sincerely, The Lighting for Tomorrow Sponsors WWW.LIGHTINGFORTOMORROW.COM | 3 Trends WHAT WE LEARNED IN 2015 Judges saw an increase in the number of products that considered the specific needs of seniors—providing low glare and well-distributed high light output, portability for use in a number of spaces, and easy adjustments.

There are two main types of LEDs: inorganic (commonly known as LEDs) and organic (OLEDs). Given the energy efficiency potential and advantages of these light sources—plus long life, color tuning, controllability, and stability—Lighting for Tomorrow supports the lighting industry’s efforts to advance and design around these technologies. LEDs are small point light sources and, as a result, are particularly well suited for directional lighting applications. OLEDs are diffuse area light sources and provide distinct advantages for general ambient lighting because the light is soft and can be viewed directly without added optics or diffusers. OLED technology is a step behind LED with regard to widespread adoption for general illumination, primarily due to cost. OLED products continue to develop rapidly, and are starting to compete with LEDs in terms of performance. 12 | WWW.LIGHTINGFORTOMORROW.COM | 13 | 13 WATTAGE 7.43 watts LIGHT OUTPUT 342.2 lumens EFFICACY 46.06 lumens/watt CCT 3000K CRI 88 TEST LABORATORY Scaled Photometry REPORT NUMBER LTL26801P2 DIMENSIONS 11.84" x 1.34" ENERGY STAR Not applicable AVAILABILITY Available now JUDGES’ COMMENTS Winner Acuity Brands CHALINA™ Pendant The CHALINA™ Pendant features five OLED panels attached to a variable stem.

Builders and remodelers often convey to energy efficiency program administrators that the product price point is the determining factor when considering solid state lighting (SSL) fixtures for new construction or retrofitting projects, even with efficiency program incentives.

These bulbs go by many names, including decorative, vintage, architectural, LED filament, and designer. Such lamps are often featured by home décor retailers with target markets typically being restaurants, hospitality and event spaces, and homeowners. While the market share of these "decorative" or "designer" lamps is relatively small, a significant opportunity exists to improve the efficiency of such products with LED technology. While the judges didn’t identify a specific product for an award in 2015, they did want to recognize the manufacturers entering this product category, as well as the significant improvements that have been made to LED visible-filament lamps currently on the market. By highlighting the efforts made by Bulbrite, MaxLite and Satco, Lighting for Tomorrow hopes to see continued product improvements for the 2016 competition. AVAILABILITY MaxLite LED Filament Lamps are expected to be available through several major retailers this fall. Go to MaxLite.com or contact 973-244-7300 for more information. CONTACT MaxLite LED Filament Lamps MaxLite 12 York Avenue West Caldwell, New Jersey 07006 973-244-7300 www.MaxLite.com Lighting for Tomorrow also asked these manufacturers for insights as to why these types of lamps can’t meet the ENERGY STAR criteria. What we learned is that LED filaments provide directional light and are positioned in the lamp to provide more light output from the sides and less light from the top of the bulb. As a result, these visible-filament style bulbs are not able to meet the light distribution requirements for omnidirectional lamps. Manufacturers explained that an upward AVAILABILITY Available now through lighting showrooms, electrical distributors and hardware stores. facing filament could address the light distribution issue, but it would compromise the look of the bulb such that the lamp would no longer mimic the historic bare filament incandescent. In addition, some of these visible filament lamps are being offered in warmer color temperatures (2200K) than what is allowed by the current ENERGY STAR Lamp Criteria. It’s important to note that these products are highly energy efficient and Lighting for Tomorrow is hopeful they can become ENERGY STAR certified under a future version of the criteria.

No longer is a lighting control simply a switch or dimmer; it’s an integral part of the lighting system that expands functionality, enhances appearance and, more recently, helps reduce lighting energy use. A particular challenge for control manufacturers is the growing need to dim and control mixed loads in lighting situations where incandescent, fluorescent, and LED light sources are used together. Fortunately, new industry standards are making the task of matching controls to fixtures easier, and this year’s control products proved to be smarter than ever before, displaying features such as self-calibration to maximize dimming performance and Internet integration to mesh with the growing use of mobile apps and personal communication devices. 32 | WWW.LIGHTINGFORTOMORROW.COM | 33 | 33 LIGHTING CONTROLS LIGHTING CONTROLS Honorable Mention PRODUCT SPECS DIMENSIONS 1.75" x 4.19" x 1.77" Winner Legrand adorne® Tru-Universal SofTap Dimmer Designers: Keith Falkenberg, Anthony Testani, David Finlay, and Brian Mueller With Legrand’s patented Tru-Universal dimming technology, the adorne SofTapTM dimmer works with any dimmable load, including all types of LEDs—no compatibility AVAILABILITY Available at premium lighting showrooms; see www.legrand.us JUDGES’ COMMENTS The dimmer provides great functionality and value in addition to being very easy to use.
