Influence in lighting isn’t about visibility—it’s about impact.

In order to define the 25 Most Influential People in Lighting, we started with a demanding question: whose ideas, leadership, and decisions truly shaped lighting in 2025? Through months of discussion, peer input, and debate, we evaluated individuals advancing human-centric lighting, accelerating controls and data-driven design, pushing sustainability and decarbonization forward, and strengthening education and professional standards.

This list reflects influence across design, manufacturing, advocacy, and technology—not popularity. As the industry navigates AI integration, evolving codes, tariffs, and health-centric performance, these 25 leaders are helping define what comes next.

See who made the list—and why their impact matters.
