This was a great learning platform which allowed the industry professionals to witness the future of the lighting industry.

Osama Swalmy, Sales Manager, Home Automation Division, Al Mazroui

“There has been no such platform in the region for recognising excellent work in lighting design. The Light Middle East awards will fill this void and award outstanding projects from across the region. This will be a great way to encourage further innovation and forward thinking in lighting design and will also serve to make case studies on regional best practices available in the market.”
