The National Lighting Bureau’s 30th annual High-Benefit Lighting Awards Program is under way. This unique program is open to virtually anyone associated with a “High-Benefit Lighting” installation: owners, designers, facility or property managers, contractors, manufacturer’s representatives, utility employees and users, among others.
The National Lighting Bureau coined the term “High-Benefit Lighting” to describe lighting systems that are designed to fulfill the specific purposes for which they will be used, especially to maximize bottom-line returns for those who own and/or rely on the lighting. For example, High-Benefit Lighting installed in workspaces can help people work faster, because it comprises electric illumination designed for the specific space, tasks and people involved. Outdoors, High-Benefit Lighting can help prevent accidents of all types, from vehicle-vehicle to slip-and-trip, thus preventing the losses associated with filing insurance claims, absenteeism, administrative paperwork, accident clean-up, and litigation. Fewer accidents can also result in lower insurance premiums. In retail situations, better lighting can help improve customer attraction and stimulate purchasing.
An entry should document how modification of an existing lighting system or development of a new one improved productivity, increased retail sales, or achieved any of the many other bottom-line benefits of High-Benefit Lighting. Award entries must be received no later than October 31, 2009.
