Brightgreen’s D900 Cube has taken home the award for Lighting Product Design and Seeley International’s Braemar Six Star Ducted Gas Heating Range won in Housing and Building.
Brightgreen say the D900 Cube impressed the judges with its square beam that allows greater control and aesthetic alignment with straight edge spaces. They were also impressed by the downlight's efficiency.
The Braemar six star ducted gas heating range is the first and only in the world to break the six star barrier.
