The National Lighting Bureau (NLB) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 Lighting Transformation Awards, co-sponsored by the National Association of Lighting Maintenance Companies (NALMCO).
These projects recognise outstanding achievements in lighting retrofit projects that feature innovative solutions with minimal alteration to the existing building structure. They illustrate the power of lighting systems and controls to enhance visual performance, promote health and wellness, reduce environmental impact, improve safety and security, and increase overall occupant satisfaction.
The awards ceremony will take place on May 7 at 4pm during Lightfair in Las Vegas at the Designery Stage. The ceremony will be hosted by NLB chairperson Mary Beth Gotti and NLB Executive Director Tom Butters.
This is the first year that a project is also being recognised with a Special Citation for Exemplary Design and Implementation of Lighting Controls, sponsored by the Lighting Controls Association.
