the primary distribution channels for the new construction

Organized by the American Lighting Association (ALA), the U.S. Department of Energy (represented by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory), and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), Lighting for Tomorrow is a design and technology competition organized to increase the market availability of energy-efficient residential lighting fixtures and to increase the marketing, promotion, and sales of such fixtures through retailers and the primary distribution channels for the new construction and renovation markets.

Lighting for Tomorrow will be utilizing the OnSpeX laboratory as a venue to evaluate and judge newly-designed energy-efficient residential lighting fixtures. Such fixtures use advanced energy-efficient fluorescent and LED light sources instead of conventional incandescent bulbs. The OnSpeX facilities were chosen because of the technical instrumentation requirements and the expertise of the OnSpeX staff.This year, the competition is seeking new advanced compact fluorescent lamp CFL dimming systems and leading-edge residential fixtures powered by white-light LED light sources. All fixtures chosen for awards must meet the requirements of the ENERGY STAR Residential Light Fixture program.

Entries receiving Lighting for Tomorrow awards will have been chosen because they address the lighting needs of U.S. and Canadian consumers. "Price, design, quality of light and 'saleability' are important award criteria," according to Terry McGowan, Director of Engineering, American Lighting Association and a LFT organizer. "We know that energy efficiency, by itself, is not enough. Residential lighting fixtures must meet consumer expectations as to appearance, price and function if they are to sell." The LFT judging panel includes lighting designers, showroom owners, home builders and media people as well as energy and technology experts.
