The accepted products are part of the 2012 IES Progress Report, which presents significant developments and improvements in the lighting industry over the past year.
"We are very pleased that our GaN on GaN LED Vivid and Outdoor MR16 lamps have been recognised by the IES Progress Committee for their outstanding quality and performance," says Eric Kim, CEO of Soraa.
A superior alternative to halogen 50W MR16 lamps, Soraa's Vivid LED MR16 lamps feature full spectrum light; a CRI of 95 and R9 of 95 (higher than most halogen lamps). The firm also maintains that they produce no UV or IR light and last up to 10 times longer than equivalent halogen lamps.

These lamps use 75 percent less energy as they run at a cooler temperature and produce a much more consistent and efficient beam. The Vivid LED MR16 lamps are compatible with existing lamp fixtures and lighting infrastructure and are suited to demanding display applications in museums, galleries, designer retail, and premier hotels and resorts.
The Outdoor LED MR16 lamps are specifically designed and tested to operate in difficult environments. Suitable for use in outdoor fixtures, or indoors in enclosed recessed or small non-ventilated track fixtures, the Outdoor LED MR16 lamp is suitable for use in many applications where lamp reliability and quality of light are as important as saving energy. They are designed to replace standard 40W MR16 halogen lamps.
The Progress Report submittals, which consist of new products, applications, research, design tools, and publications, are reviewed by the IES Progress Committee, which is responsible for monitoring developments in the art and science of lighting worldwide.
The committee is made up of lighting industry professionals who possess expertise in varied areas within the field. Each submittal goes through a comprehensive judging process and is evaluated for uniqueness.
