CLEVELAND – Kichler’s has won the Lighting for Tomorrow Award – a lighting industry honor for energy-efficient solutions – for one of its Design Pro LED path lights. Kichler’s Design Pro LED Broad Roof Path and Spread Light was recognized as a winner in the solid-sate lighting category for its innovative design; its high-quality, white-light output and its ultra-efficient technology.

The Lighting for Tomorrow competition, sponsored by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, the U.S. Department of Energy and the American Lighting Association, encourages manufacturers to produce a range of new lighting fixtures that use less electricity, complement home décor and provide high-quality light output. Winners were selected by a panel of nine industry experts based on color appearance, color rendering, amount and distribution of light, application efficiency, appearance and style.

Kichler’s Design Pro LED Broad Roof Path and Spread Light features a sleek, sculpted spindle center capped by a broad, shallow roof that diffuses and spreads LED light within a landscape. The path light uses 75 percent less energy than its incandescent counterparts with a long-lasting design, offering 40,000 hours or roughly 20 years of light.

Based on the popularity of this and other award-winning Design Pro LED products, Kichler has expanded its LED landscape offerings with eight new Design Pro LED path lights modeled after popular incandescent styles. Available in a variety of designs and finishes to appeal to different geographic regions and homeowner tastes, the new styles range from models with pierced or floral decorative shades to ultra-contemporary designs building in sleek glass accents.
