Brightgreen wins at Premierʼs Sustainability Awards

Brightgreenʼs energy-efficient LED retrofit bulb, the DR700, has taken out the Premierʼs Sustainability Award in the Products or Services category, as well as the coveted Premierʼs Recognition Award.

After being listed as finalists in the Products or Services category, the Premierʼs Recognition Award was an unexpected coup, with Brightgreen being declared overall winner out of the finalists from each category.

The awards recognise excellence in sustainable innovation and  Brightgreen chief designer and CEO David OʼDriscoll was exceptionally pleased with the wins, saying that the awards give Brightgreen vindication as having the most efficient LED lighting products available.

“Both these awards provide further credibility that our LED lights are the most sustainable on the market, leading in efficiency, brightness and light quality. We are thrilled to be recognised on a state level and are looking forward to entering again next year,” said OʼDriscoll.

The DR700 is claimed to be the worldʼs first LED replacement bulb to match the brightness of an average 50 W halogen with 720 lumens, but uses just 10 W to do so. Adding to this, the DR700 has a CRI (colour rendering index) of 90 and is claimed to be compatible with all existing dimmers and transformers. In a further vote of confidence, the DR700 has been approved for rebates by both the Victorian and NSW governments, with the bulb qualifying respectively for VEET and ESS.
