NEXT GENERATION LUMINAIRES 2009
Background
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) administers federal investment in SSL research and
development to advance the technology and realize its projected energy efficiency, lighting service,
and economic benefits. DOE has developed a comprehensive program to support the effective
commercialization and application of SSL in the general illumination market. This program includes
technology demonstrations, product testing, development of industry performance standards and test
procedures, information dissemination, and design competitions to recognize and reward excellence in
application of this emerging technology.
Ongoing advances in SSL technology and the growing number of product introductions signal an
opportunity to encourage, recognize, and promote LED luminaires suitable for the commercial
specification market, implicitly differentiating them from LED products that will not meet the needs of
lighting designers, specifiers, and users. DOE has partnered with the Illuminating Engineering Society
of North America (IESNA) and the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) to organize
this new competition.

NEXT GENERATION LUMINAIRES 2009
Judging Process
A total of 126 products arrived at the
judging facility in Research Triangle
Park, NC ready for the judging event on
Dec 3-4, 2009. Underwriters Laboratory
staff spent 3 weeks installing products by
category in environments closely matching
the products’ intended applications.
The products were first grouped by
application. This determined the specific
performance categories and criteria
used in their evaluation. A panel of
12 judges, drawn from across the
architectural lighting design community,
independently evaluated the products
by assessing their lighted performance
and appearance, construction, and
photometric data.
Our wonderful panel of judges worked hard in two days reviewing 126 products
and finding the best of the best.
Back: Melissa Hertel, Dan Blitzer, Chip Israel, Bob Berger, David Brumbelow, Nancy
Clanton. Middle: Barbara Horton, Mary Matteson-Bryan, Lara Jacobson, Ruth
Taylor. Front: Jeff McCullough, Melanie Taylor, Avi Mor, Jeff Brown, Kevin Houser
The judges reviewed submitted reference materials, including
photometric files (LM-79 test reports), LED data sheets,
driver specifications,
and other material.
Particular attention
was focused on
serviceability/replacement issues as judges
evaluated extra product
samples provided by
the entrants.
Investigating sometimes required a closer look at the
product. This product had blinking indicator lights
that the judges wanted to know more about.
10
At the end of the
individual judging
each day, the entire
group reviewed the
group scores and
Dr. Kevin Houser takes apart a luminaire to check its
ability to be serviced. He sits among the papers provided by submitting companies, as well as color charts
and flowers the judges used to review color quality.
www.ngldc.org
Judging Process
discussed each product. The first consideration
was whether each judge would recommend the
product for specification, the prerequisite for
the “recognized” winners. Forty-seven products
were eventually “recommended” by the
judging panel.
Among the recommended products, the judges
then considered Best In Class selections for
each category. The judges were not required to
select a best in class winner in every category;
these selections were at the group’s discretion.
The group only selected four Best In Class
winners from the group of 47 recommended
products considered.
Each judge was provided with a reference list of common attributes
and testing data for each luminaire. Here Barbara Horton is referencing the table while judging a product.
The UL team set up a 40 foot long truss and elevated it to 40 feet and
then 20 feet to review the outdoor products at intended application
mounting heights. Once the sun set (and the temperature dropped) the
judges worked to review each luminaire.
Once all the "hands on" judging was complete a lively “round table”
discussion took place to select products for the Showcase catalogue
and choose a best in class. Judges really were opinionated and what
you see in this book is really the consensus “best.”
The competition organizers wish to offer special thanks the Underwriters Laboratory
for hosting the 2009 judging event. Without UL staff patience and attention to detail in
installing the 126 submitted products, the competition would not have been possible.
NEXT GENERATION LUMINAIRES 2009
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 fell below
ENERGY STAR requirements, 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 the following set of criteria:
Color appearance
Color rendering
Appropriate illuminance
Appropriate luminance
Application effectiveness
Aesthetic appearance and style
Serviceability and replacement
No off-state power use
Dark-sky friendly
Adjustability/Flexibility

Required Documents
The following documents were used by the judges to evaluate the entries.
• Luminaire photometric reports conducted according to LM-79-08 from an independent
testing lab.
• IES LM-63-03 formatted photometric report (.ies file).
• Integrating sphere output report showing luminaire CRI, CCT, and spectral
power distribution.
• Color consistency specification statement (if available).
• Full, published LED data sheets.
• Lumen maintenance test data or LM-80 data (if available).
• Product photo or schematic showing temperature measurement point (TMP) (if available).
• Driver specification sheets.
• Dimming interface specification sheet.
• Installation/serviceability instruction sheet.
• Product warranty statement.
• End-of-life policy statement (if available).
• Product photos.
• Marketing materials (including specification sheets, marketing brochures etc. (if available).
NEXT GENERATION LUMINAIRES 2009
Best in Class
The judges evaluated white light, general illumination products available for specification in the commercial
market. The panel initially selected 47 products from the 126 reviewed as “recognized,” meaning the panel
would recommend these 47 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 a best in class winner. The 2009 “best in class” winners are as follows:

About the IESNA & IALD
IESNA
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.
Dan Blitzer and Nancy Clanton represent the IESNA on the NGL Steering Committee.
IALD
Founded in 1969 and based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, the International Association of Lighting Designers
