Meteor Lighting has announced that three product submissions were recognized by the judges as a “unique and significant advancement to the art and science of lighting.” This is a honor and an achievement for the company, maintaining its tradition of creating products.
All three products were showcased at the 2019 IES Annual conference, where there was a 33 percent decrease from new companies submitting products. In luminaires, there was a 45 percent drop compared to last year which indicates a maturing market but that advancements in lighting are now primarily new features and not new breakthroughs.
The drop in submitted products is also reflective of the stringent judging process, showing the goals of the IES to set the bar high for industry standards. Where before was from a performance standpoint, the judging committee covers all bases of a luminaire from power, controls, manufacturing quality, and application as evident from the involvement by ConEdison, Hubbell Lighting Controls, and The Lighting Practice in judging Meteor Lighting products.
Judges Comments
Meteor’s Whiz 2.0 – Architectural High Ceiling luminaire impressed the judges with its performance capability with a lumen package of up to 35,400 lm, its uplight versatility and its natatorium rating option. This is the company’s second home run having also won the Lightfair 2019 Innovation Award back in May.
Both the Duo 4 and Duo 6 were also recognized by the committee for their functional design as well as performance. In the performance category, the Duo has a lumen package range higher than other direct/indirect luminaires at 4 or 6-inch apertures. The use of our POWER LINE SYSTEM technology that is Power Cord-Free was also noted to be unique. Meteor also demonstrated the latest Tunable White Option to the judges.
