Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, and the International Association of Lighting Designers, NGL was launched in 2008 to promote excellence in the design of energy-efficient LED luminaires for general illumination in commercial lighting applications. The competition began evaluating indoor and outdoor products separately in 2012. Compared to previous years, the 2012 NGL indoor results show a marked improvement in luminaires for general commercial applications – in particular, recessed modulars (i.e., troffers) and linear pendants, which generally demonstrated higher efficacy than fluorescents, with comparable lighting quality. Lessdramatic improvement was seen this year in categories such as downlighting, wall washing, and accent lighting, which were already strong in previous years of the competition. Overall, initial cost remains an issue, as the judges frequently noted. The idea behind NGL is to make it easier for lighting designers and specifiers to find LED lighting products that are worthy of specification. This means recognized products have to measure up on many fronts. NGL entries are judged on lighting quality (including color, illuminance, light distribution, and glare), appearance, serviceability, efficacy, value, dimming, and rated lifetime – and the bar was raised even higher this year, to reflect improvements in the technology. “This is not just a one-dimensional contest,” said DOE Solid-State Lighting Program Manager Jim Brodrick. “Beauty alone won’t cut it – the winners have to really ‘walk the walk.’” A total of 187 products were proposed for submission to the 2012 NGL indoor competition. But because of the stringent documentation requirements – which were even stricter than they were last year – only 114 actually made it to the judging phase. The rest were rejected either because they weren’t ready for market or because their manufacturers couldn’t supply the required documentation, which covered such things as LM-79 test reports and LM-80 life claim documentation. These performance documents helped ensure that actual performance matched what was claimed. The 114 products that were judged represented 43 different manufacturers. Of those products, 53 were chosen as “recognized” winners, meaning that they were considered worthy of specification. These recognized products cover 15 categories: cove lighting, decorative lighting, recessed downlighting, pendant lighting, linear lighting, linear pendant lighting, recessed linear lighting, recessed accent lighting, recessed modular lighting, recessed wall washing, task lighting, accent track lighting, surfacemounted lighting, high-bay industrial lighting, and utility lighting. From the 53 recognized products, three were given the additional designation of Best in Class, meaning that they stood out significantly above the other products in their category that were recognized as Release Date: May 10, 2012 Next Generation Luminaires™ www.ngldc.org Contact: Dan Sperling, 703-356-4595, [email protected] specifiable. The Best in Class winners came from three different manufacturers and covered three areas of lighting: Intense Lighting was selected for its MBW2 LED Track accent lighting fixture, Albeo Technologies Inc. for its H-Series LED high-bay luminaire, and Lithonia Lighting for its ST Series LED utility/general purpose luminaire. In the “Recognized” category, Amerlux Global Lighting Solutions, Juno Lighting Group, Intense Lighting, Cooper Lighting, and Focal Point earned praise for their recessed accent lighting. Intense Lighting, Amerlux Global Lighting Solutions, and Philips Lightolier were recognized for accent track lighting. In recessed wall washing, USAI Lighting (two fixtures) and Amerlux Global Lighting Solutions were commended. Two cove lighting fixtures were recognized: one from The Lighting Quotient and one from Lumenpulse. In the decorative lighting category, Pure Edge Lighting, Architectural Lighting Works, and Eureka Lighting (three fixtures) were recognized, while Juno Lighting Group was recognized for its linear lighting fixture. High-bay industrial lighting had two winners: Digital Lumens and Lithonia Lighting. Recessed downlights were popular, with designs by Cooper Lighting, USAI Lighting (two fixtures), Juno Lighting Group (two fixtures), and Amerlux Global Lighting Solutions (two fixtures) all receiving recognition. Recessed modular (i.e., troffer) lighting was also popular, with Cree Inc., Finelite Inc., OSRAM Sylvania, Galaxia Electronics Co. Ltd., and Lithonia Lighting (four fixtures) being recognized. Three task lights were recognized: one by Humanscale, another by Prism Co. Ltd., and a third by Koncept Technologies Inc. In the linear pendant lighting category, Selux Corporation, Corelight-Cooper Lighting, Axis Lighting, and GE Lighting Solutions each received recognition. Three companies – Lumenpulse, MarulaLED, and Eureka Lighting – were recognized for their pendant lighting fixtures. Rounding out the recognized products were a recessed linear lighting fixture by Selux Corporation, a surface-mounted lighting fixture by Lighting Science Group, and a utility lighting fixture by On-Q Lighting Systems. Awards were presented at LIGHTFAIR International in Las Vegas on May 10, 2012. The Next Generation Luminaires competition was created to recognize and promote excellence in the design of energyefficient LED commercial lighting luminaires. By encouraging new designs and technologies, Next Generation Luminaires aims to increase market acceptance and awareness of LEDs for general illumination lighting. Judging Panel Jeffrey L.

The panel initially selected 53 products from the 114 reviewed as “Recognized,” meaning the panel would recommend these 53 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. Most entry categories were not awarded this distinction.
