P icture yourself at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Guests are arriving. Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails are being served.
You run into old friends, make new connections and find your seats. Until 2020, this yearly event recognizing manufactur-
ers and celebrating winners was a social event looked forward to by many. While things are different this year, the industry’s
commitment to honoring innovations is not.
The LFI Innovation Awards 2020 program saw entries spanning 14 categories with each submission judged by an
independent panel of lighting professionals. The winning entries exemplify the best in innovative design and thinking.

PASSING THE TORCH

A fter many twists and turns over more than 130 years,
the original torch from the Statue of Liberty has arrived
safe and sound in the new Statue of Liberty Museum
on Liberty Island. The torch and flame were restored by a
team including Rambusch metal craftsmen, conservators
and stained glass artisans. The craftsmen carefully made
the copper and iron framework structurally sound again,
while Rambusch stained glass craftspeople cleaned and
repaired broken colored panels and brought back to life
the existing panes.
Rambusch also developed a dynamic LED color-chang-
ing illumination system inside the flame—based around a
Lumenetix module with a wide color range that would be
controlled by a Lutron system. This combination will allow
the museum to create varied color presentations of the
flame itself, much like the Empire State Building spire. Thus,
the flame is again alive and glows.
