NASHVILLE – February 3, 2021 – The National Lighting Bureau (NLB) is excited to announce the 2020 NLB Art and Science Awards. The purpose of the awards program is to give recognition to outstanding products that are innovative in the Art of Lighting, the Science of Lighting, or both. The awards program was created by longtime NLB member Mary Beth Gotti, with the distinctive title from Manny Feris of Lutron. The juror panel consisted of some of the most knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the lighting industry. The seven jurors were:

• Paul Tarricone
  Editor and Publisher, LD+A
• Paul Pompeo
  President, Pompeo Group
• James R. Benya, PE, FIES, FIALD
  Principal Illuminating Engineer and Lighting Designer, Benya Burnett Consultancy
• Terry McGowan, FIES, LC
  Lighting Ideas, Inc.
• Cary Mendelsohn
  CEO, Imperial Lighting Maintenance
• Manny Feris
  LEED AP, Lutron Electronics OEM Team
• Jean Paul Freyssinier
  Senior Research Scientist, Lighting Research Center

The judging committee compiled the 2020 candidate slate primarily by reviewing other product award programs and soliciting input from designers and other lighting industry professionals. The judging criteria gave the jurors considerable latitude in how they ranked products. The diverse panel and freedom of criteria led to much debate amongst the jurors, which contributed greatly to being able to narrow down the selections to only the truly outstanding products. The winners of the NLB Art and Science Awards, by category, are:

• The Art of Lighting
