A LIGHTING firm has marketed the most energy efficient product of the year to bag a top award.

Atherton-based MHA Lighting Ltd’s BrightStar 209 claimed the honour at the Energy Awards, held in the London Hilton, on Park Lane.

The accolade came just a fortnight after MHA lighting launched its LodeStar LED lighting range, of which the BrightStar is a flagship product.

MHA MD, Tom Harrison, said: “To win such a prestigious industry award against such tough competition is a fantastic way to end what has been a pivotal year for our company.

“We have been working hard for two years to develop this technology, patent it and create a market ready product range.

“To launch it last month was a huge milestone for us and now have an award really is the icing on the cake.”
