Hasta La Ideas

pLast year the Department of Energy sponsored a design competition called A HREF=”http://www.ngldc.org/” Next Generation Luminaires/A, intended to “demonstrate the diversity of solid-state lighting products ready for specification in the commercial sector.” The winners have just been announced, and since there are a ton–nearly 50–we’ll just show you the four best-in-class winners:/p
