Best lighting and electrical companies of 2020 revealed
For the third time, the winners of the Eurasian Golden Photon Award will be recognized as a benchmark for product and project quality.
On November 26, the winners of the annual Golden Photon Award in lighting and electrical engineering were awarded in an online ceremony.
2020 will go down in history as one of the most challenging years of the modern times. The pandemic affected all global economy sectors, and electrical engineering was no exception. That is why the 2020 award season distinguishes the strongest, most persistent and brave, those who were not afraid of the crisis, but who chose to accept the challenge and won! All the season's nominees are a vivid example of efficiency, innovation, and quality, setting the highest bar in the market for both manufacturers and end users.
In 2020, 34 companies submitted 65 applications, of them 55 were awarded. Who won that strong and competitive fight? 20 manufacturers of lighting and electrical products, suppliers of solutions and services like lamps for industrial, road, and park lighting, and authors of grandiose lighting projects — synergy of beauty, functionality, and innovation — for administrations and office buildings, landscape, public utilities, industrial sites, and museums.
The principles, goals and objectives of the award are always a priority. Unconditional and out-of-question quality remains the main criterion. All applications submitted for the award undergo multiple stages of selection, from independent laboratory tests to a highly professional jury. Thus, the list of winners of the Golden Photon presents a showcase of bona fide manufacturers and service providers and becomes a reliable guide when choosing a product, contractor, or service.
All winners receive Golden Photon statuettes, and the award-winning and nominated products and services are marked with a special insignia for customers, distributors, and end consumers.
