The Lumen Awards program was conceived by the New York City Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society in 1968 and developed to encourage and publicly recognize excellence, professionalism, ingenuity and originality in lighting design.
The Lumen Awards are the oldest lighting awards program with prestigious projects world wide.
