were previously held at Light+Building. The awards have been set up for Messe
Frankfurt by the German Design Council, the centre for design excellence at

opening up opportunities for the retail sector to experience the energy and
cost-efficiency of LED lighting, which has significantly longer life-spans
and lower power consumption than conventional lighting with up to 80% energy
saving. The lower temperatures of LED lighting also translate to lower

and business disruption. The LED lighting high color rendering index up to 80
