Awards & Recognition
I've been lucky enough to work with great teams and great products. Below are some recognition we are proud to have received from industry leaders over the past few years.
tED Award for best product launch
The awards, which were presented Aug. 5 at the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED) AdVenture Conference in Chicago, honor the electrical industry’s finest marketing programs. GE took home awards in the categories of product launch, integrated promotional campaign and public relations/community outreach.
The product launch for GE’s complete line of LED downlight products—the Lumination™ DI Series, Lumination RI Series and Lumination RS Series—featured product literature, intro videos and interactive training tools to reach architects, designers and end users in the retail, office, healthcare and hospitality industries.
Ideal for new construction applications, the Lumination DI Series features Infusionâ„¢ LED technology, a breakthrough modular design that allows for tool-free upgrade as LED technology advances, ensuring the lowest total cost of ownership. The Lumination RI Series, perfect for retrofit projects, delivers exceptional efficacy and 90+ CRI across all lumen packages and color temperatures. Finally, the Lumination RS Series is a contractor-grade downlight that is specifically designed for quick installation to reduce labor expense.

My Major Award from Bitchin' Kitchen
My favorite cooking show is Bitchin' Kitchen with Nadia G. She is hilarious and her food is amazing. I was a huge fan from the first time I saw her on the Cooking Channel. Her show is Julia Child meets Pee-Wee's Playhouse!
She is absolutely brilliant when it comes to social media. I started following her on Facebook and she was promoting her new cookbook, Cooking for Trouble. Her contest: Caption this photo and you can win a retro-style fridge from Elmira Stove Works (like the one in the background).
My caption: ...and you thought your Momma's Pork Chops were tough!!!
I was driving home one day and I saw my caption on her facebook page with a nice note of congratulations. I nearly drove off the road. I am super stoked to have this amazing fridge.
Today's Facility Executive Magazine voted GE Lighting as the 2015 Reader's Choice winner for Best LED Lighting.
