Eureka announced that it has won a Red Dot Award for its Verner LED lighting fixture. It is the fifth year running that a Eureka product has been recognized with the prestigious award.

The Verner fixture stood out amongst more than 5,500 product entries from 55 countries. Verner was selected for outstanding design quality by a jury comprising experts from different disciplines who assessed products on criteria such as level of innovation, functionality, formal quality, longevity and ergonomics.

Dated back to 1955, the Red Dot Award is one of the largest design competitions in the world with more than 18,000 submissions. The Red Dot Design Award is broken down into the three distinct disciplines including Product Design, Brands & Communication Design and Design Concept. The name and brand of the award were developed in the 1990s by Red Dot CEO, Professor Dr. Peter Zec. Since then, the sought-after Red Dot is the revered international seal of outstanding design quality.

“We are delighted to be recognized with another Red Dot award” said Patrick Foley, president at Eureka. “Our track record in this competition validates our commitment to innovation, and we will continue to strive towards design excellence.”

A new take on a modern yet timeless shape with clean lines and simplicity, Verner’s contemporary look is completed with a classic spherical diffuser. The cone-like shade ensures that light is directed downwards and is therefore suited to applications where designers want to avoid indirect light illuminating the ceiling. Verner is designed for applications where a high output of downlight is required as much as a simple decorative element.
