From the EDITOR

The National Lighting Bureau (NLB) is now accepting submissions for the 2023 Transformation Award. This award recognizes excellence in lighting retrofit projects, and it is a great opportunity for contractors and distributors to showcase their best work.

The Transformation Award is open to all entrants, but it was specifically designed with NALMCO members in mind. This is because the award recognizes projects that use creative lighting systems and controls to improve visual performance, reuse and repurpose luminaires, reduce light pollution, and enhance safety and security.

In addition to the recognition, the winning projects will be featured on the NLB website, LM&M magazine, and the EdisonReport, to name a few. This is a great way to get your work seen by a wider audience and to attract new clients.

The submission process is easy. Simply visit the NLB website and fill out the online form. Pictures of the retrofit from cellphones are acceptable. All entries must be received by August 1, 2023.

I encourage anyone interested to submit your project. Here are some of the benefits:

• Recognition for your work

• Increased exposure for your business

• The opportunity to learn from other award winners

• The award will be presented at the 70th Annual Convention and Trade Show in Indian Wells, California

Speaking of the convention, we still need your photos from past conventions, as we are publishing the next issue in print, and we will hand out at the event. Head up to your attic and find your old scrap books and send your photos and stories to me at editor@nalmco.org.

See you in Indian Wells!
