Big Shine LED Sets the Standard: Project Earns Top Lighting Award

Newtown Square, PA – May 21, 2025 – Big Shine LED is pleased to announce a significant recognition from the National Lighting Bureau (NLB). On May 7, 2025, the comprehensive LED lighting upgrade project undertaken for The Honickman Companies was honored with the 2025 Lighting Transformation Award. This prestigious accolade acknowledges how advanced LED technology has redefined operational environments across Honickman's four New York sites: Bronx, Queens, Amityville, and Mount Vernon. This recognition highlights the power of intelligent lighting to drive substantial energy efficiency, foster enhanced employee well-being, and ensure robust compliance with modern sustainability mandates.

Smart Lighting, Real Savings

High-performance LED luminaires were utilized in this award-winning project. Older lighting systems were replaced across offices, warehouses, stairwells, and outdoor areas. These LED fixtures are highly efficient, resulting in over 1.5 million kilowatt-hours saved annually.

• Operational expenses are directly cut.
• Carbon output is significantly decreased.
• Compliance with strict New York City energy laws is facilitated.

Better Workplaces, Happier People

The LED lighting system was engineered for people. It creates improved environments at Honickman's facilities. Consistent, even light is provided everywhere. This reduces eye fatigue and improves overall visual comfort. A healthier, brighter space supports better work, morale, and increased productivity.

Financial Gains & Compliance Made Easy

LED lighting solutions provided to Honickman assisted in achieving financial gains and regulatory compliance. Over $200,000 in energy incentives were secured from utility partners like Con Edison and PSEG Long Island. This significantly improved the project's financial return. Strict energy performance regulations are inherently met by these products.

Designed for Every Need

Flexible design and application are offered by our LED products. A consistent lighting standard was applied across all facilities. Products were configured for unique site needs.

• Light levels were optimized to 30 foot-candles for safety and clarity.
• Our standard LED products are adaptable to various operational demands.

A Model for Future Lighting

This award-winning project serves as a clear example for other organizations. It demonstrates how advanced LED lighting can deliver:

• Significant energy savings.
• Improved occupant well-being.
• Increased productivity.
• Seamless regulatory compliance.
• Strong financial benefits.

This project is considered a benchmark for sustainable, effective lighting.
