The Home Depot has announced the winners of its 2025 Innovation Awards, recognizing products that offer significant value, performance, and efficiency for both professional and do-it-yourself customers. The awards were presented on October 28 at the company’s annual Supplier Partnership Meeting.
The overall winner was the Ecosmart Universal Select Light Bulb by Leedarson. This product allows users to choose their preferred wattage and shade of white light, making it suitable for any room or fixture.
Cobra Tork’s Concrete Anchors received first runner-up honors. These anchors are designed to be removable and can be installed using only a drill, offering an alternative to traditional wedge anchors and saving time for professionals.
The second runner-up was the Smart Glass Door by Feather River. This door enables homeowners to control privacy by switching between frosted and clear glass through smart devices using the Hubspace app or with a manual button.
