Since 2013 The National Lighting Bureau set out on a path to bring people of the lighting community together to inspire lighting professionals and achieve an increased demand for High-Benefit Lighting. The NLB Annual Lighting Forum provokes discussion about a variety of trending topics and raises awareness, by educating those who will continue to make and influence decisions about lighting and its effect on society’s human performance, health, safety and commerce.
