At LIGHTFAIR, Eaton has announced the winners of the 39th Annual SOURCE Awards national lighting design competition. Six professional awards and six student awards were presented.
The annual competition, which began in 1977, focuses on furthering the understanding, knowledge and function of lighting as a primary element in design and requires the predominant use of lighting and controls products from Eaton. Entries are judged on the blending of aesthetics, creative achievement, technical performance and the degree in which the lighting meets the project constraints and design concept goals.
