Philips Lumiled (San Jose, CA) and McGraw-Edison (Cooper Industries, Houston) were among award winners at this year’s Lightfair International. The contest received 239 submissions for 14 categories.

Philips Lumiled’s Luxeon A LEDs, which incorporate freedom from binning and hot testing, were given the Technical Innovation Award for advancement in lighting technology. Freedom from binning eliminates color bins, the company says, which yields improved color consistency among units, which are specified at a junction temperature of 85º C.

McGraw-Edison’s sign light is a marqee LED that reduces maintenance costs and energy consumption. According to the company, the LED saves 52% on energy, compared to traditional light sources. The product is UL certified for wet locations and can be used in uplight and downlight applications.
