Bangalore: The
lighting division of Indian IT major Wipro Ltd has won the coveted
Design for Asia Award 2010 for its LED street light 'Orio' in the
product category, the company said Wednesday.
The first Indian lighting firm to win an international design for
Asia award, Wipro designed the LED (light-emitting diode) to
illuminate secondary roads for software campuses, back-office
facilities, industrial parks, educational campuses, commercial
buildings and residential townships.
"Our Orio street light is a futuristic luminaire that harnesses
the advantages of LEDs and its aerodynamic form gels with urban
landscape," Wipro Lighting vice-president Parag Kulkarni said in a
statement here.
The LED technology reduces power consumption by 50 percent and
offers sustainable lighting solution for years to come.
"As we see LED-based lighting as a big opportunity, we have
adopted innovation and design as a way of life and won an
international design award," Kulkarni said.
Set up by the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) in 2003, the Design
for Asia award recognises the most influential designs in the
region and provides an international platform for designers.
The award panel receives about 500 entries from 14 countries
worldwide, including Japan China, India South Korea and Thailand.
