Happy new year everyone!

As I step into January 2025, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and pride as my company, it does Lighting Ltd., celebrates its 21st anniversary. This milestone marks not just years of hard work, but decades of passion, growth, and collaboration in an industry I truly love.

Reflecting on my 38 years in the lighting industry, I am continually amazed by how much there is to learn and how the field keeps evolving. From the early days of my career to now, the innovations and advancements in lighting design and technology have never ceased to inspire me. The dynamic nature of this industry has been a constant source of curiosity and excitement, motivating me to keep researching and expanding my knowledge.

However, the real joy of my journey has always been the people — the loyal customers, supportive colleagues, and inspiring collaborators who have been by my side. To all my clients, past and present, thank you. Your trust in my vision and your willingness to embrace innovative ideas have been the driving forces behind my success. It is your creativity, feedback, and commitment that make this work so fulfilling.

A huge thank you also goes to everyone who has worked with me over the years. Your dedication and shared passion for creating beautiful, functional, and transformative lighting designs have been invaluable.

The lighting industry is more than a career for me; it is a community, a challenge, and a never-ending journey of discovery. Every project, every innovation, and every partnership brings new opportunities to grow and evolve. I am eternally grateful for this journey and look forward to many more years of “Bringing Ideas to Light.”

Here’s to the next chapter, with new ideas, new collaborations, and the same enduring passion for lighting design.

Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey.
