Lightolier was awarded first place for the Architectural Lighting award in a field of approximately 290 competitors, and was also voted "Most Innovative" in the industry. For the Architecture portion of the ACE award, Lightolier was chosen first out of 138 lighting manufacturers.
"Lightolier is committed to new product innovation," says Russell Hall, Vice President of Channel Marketing. "We greatly appreciate being recognized by the design community for this commitment as well as for our quality, professionalism and service."
"We are proud to have created a program that serves as a voice for the architectural community and honors those industry manufacturers who architects have come to trust and depend on," says Architecture and Architectural Lighting publisher, Gary Gyss. "To be selected by such a high-profile audience of architects is a significant endorsement."
