For the first time in the Academy’s 61 years, an Emmy award was given for television lighting technology. And the Emmy goes to… Litepanels!

Litepanels is the worldwide leader in LED (light emitting diode) television and motion picture lighting equipment. Litepanels fixtures have been use on a number of television productions including shows like Desperate Housewives, 24, and Without a Trace. On top of these shows, Litepanels have also been used in places ranging from the Whitehouse and Pentagon Briefing Rooms, and the International Space Station.

Litepanels have become widely used because of their versatility and soft, heat-free, HD-friendly light, which can be dimmed without a noticeable shift in color temperature. Litepanels also uses LED technology which uses 90% less power than needed for a traditional lighting fixture.
