—Commercial Integrator Magazine awards Lutron BEST in lighting controls —

Coopersburg, PA (June 16, 2011)—Lutron Diva® C•L dimmer has won the Commercial Integrator BEST Award in the Lighting and Environmental Controls category.

The Commercial Integrator BEST (Best Electronics Systems Technologies) Awards recognize superior products and services that help Commercial Integrator Magazine readers run their businesses better and more profitably. Winning manufacturers across 62 categories were honored at InfoComm 2011

"Commercial Integrator takes pride in focusing on content that can help integrators become more efficient and more profitable," says Tom LeBlanc, editor-in-chief of Commercial Integrator Magazine. "This award program is a great way to focus on solutions meeting those criteria that were on display at InfoComm 2011."

A panel of commercial industry experts, including editors of Commercial Integrator and leading integrators, judged the winners in each category based on the following criteria:

• Creativity
• Innovation
• Incorporated equipment
• Ease of installation or implementation
• Business benefits

The Diva® C•L dimmer works not only with today’s most popular light bulbs, like incandescent and halogen, but also with dimmable CFLs and LEDs, which are expected to become widely adopted over the next 10 years. By installing one of these new dimmers, the integrator can propose many different energy-efficient light sources, such as dimmable CFL or LED lamps, or a warmer incandescent source, without having to change out the dimmer. This feature also makes the selection of a bulb and compatible control much easier for the customer and the integrator.

“It is an honor to be recognized by Commercial Integrator Magazine,” said Matt Donati, Product Manager. “Their readership is very important to us. Lutron is committed to developing innovative and energy-efficient light control solutions, and the requests for information regarding this product show that we’re meeting real needs.”
