LEDs Magazine is pleased to announce the recipients of its third annual BrightStar Awards. Re-launched from the past Sapphire Awards program, the BrightStar Awards acknowledge innovation in solid-state lighting components, controls, and finished luminaire systems for general lighting and specialty applications.
A select panel of industry experts reviewed each submission, assigning a score from zero to 5 stars. Products receiving an average score of 3.5 stars or higher were named 2024 BrightStar Awards honorees.
“This year’s program saw an exciting variety of submission form factors, but many of them had noteworthy qualities or trends in common, such as modularity or flexible footprint for fixtures and the replacement potential of components,” said Carrie Meadows, LEDs Magazine editor-in-chief. “The judges also commented frequently on simplified installation — including tool-less designs — and easier commissioning capabilities with the highest-scoring entries, reflecting the need to reduce labor time and costs.”
