Globe Electric Earns Energy Star Market Transformation Award for Lighting

Energy Star

Natural Resources Canada has awarded Globe Electric a third Energy Star award, “Manufacturer of the year — lighting — 2015.” Globe Electric had previously won a similar award in 2008, and “Recruit of the year” in 2007.

Tagging itself the “Creative Energy Company,” Montreal-based Globe Electric has sought in recent years to develop a better LED bulb; 2014 was a breakthrough year for its development, manufacturing, marketing and retailer education around Energy Star certified LED bulbs and fixtures. Globe developed a new generation of bulbs to meet consumer needs for price and quality, and new packaging and marketing materials that respond directly to consumer questions around LEDs; for example, a list matching Globe LEDs models to compatible dimmers. Globe’s offering of Energy Star certified LED bulbs in 2014 grew from 16 to 41, and sales grew more than 300%. The company markets more than 300 Energy Star certified models in Canada.

Globe also promotes Energy Star through long-standing and strategic partnerships with retailers, professional organizations, utilities and other allies in the field.
