Staying true to its mission, the NLB created the Tesla Awards to honor lighting projects that provide High-Benefit Lighting, or lighting that promotes human performance, health, safety, commerce, and the reduction in light pollution. Not only do the winning projects showcase the value of lighting, but they also demonstrate the best practices in lighting design, and the importance of collaboration.
At a separate date, the judges will conduct a deep dive interview allowing the designers to describe the jobs in detail.
The bureau provides its services to the public free of charge, thanks to the generous funding of the organization’s sponsors which include individuals, professional societies, trade associations, labor unions, manufacturers, and agencies of the U.S. government.
