This paper describes Phase I of the National Lighting Fixture Design Competition organized by the American Lighting Association (ALA), the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), and DOE, represented by PNNL. The primary objective of the competition is to increase the market presence of attractive residential lighting fixtures that meet ENERGY STAR efficiency standards. The competition's phase I sought submissions of paper designs of new and exisiting energy efficient lighting fixtures in 7 categories: chandelies, sconce, pendant, portable, etc, in 2 price categories, e.g., $100. PNNL and the team promoted the competition thru design magazines, press releases, brochures, lighting retailers, and ALA. Winners were announced in Dallas at the biannual Dallas Lighting Market in 2003. 24 designs were selected and designers are asked to submit working protoypes in Phase II which will encourage manufacture and production of winning designs.
