LEDs Magazine announces the first ever Illumineer of the Year Award recipient at Strategies in Light & The LED Show in Las VegasLAS VEGAS, Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PennWell Corporation, publisher of LEDs Magazine and Illumination in Focus, is starting day three of its co-located Strategies in Light & The LED Show, but a big focus is on the previous evening's Sapphire Awards Gala. The evening truly was a celebration of innovation in the LED and solid-state lighting (SSL) industry sectors with the naming of the inaugural LEDs Magazine Sapphire Award winners. The night culminated with the presentation of the Illumineer of the Year Award set to recognize a person or small team behind an innovation that can truly catalyze a segment in the SSL space.  The inaugural Illumineer of the Year crown went to Eric Senders, Bob Zona, Rene Helbing, Mushfeque Manzur, and Catherine Othick from Philips Lumileds for their work on the Luxeon COB (chip on board) LED with CrispWhite technology. CrispWhite is a great example of how LED technology will take the lighting industry to new heights, delivering a feature set in SSL products that the industry could never achieve with incandescent, halogen, or ceramic-metal-halide (CMH) sources. Shifting to day three, attendees begin with the second plenary session and move directly into the breakout of conference sessions in any one of four tracks (Market & Applications, Smart Lighting, Advanced Technolgy and The Lighting Track – aka The LED Show) or head into the events' largest exhibition including more than 300 companies on the floor, covering all facets of lighting and enabling technologies. Strategies in Light & The LED Show are allowing full onsite registration during any day of the events' February 24-26 run.
