Q3 Pulse of Lighting Survey … How’s the Business?

Pulse of lighting

Summertime is over. 3 1/2 months till the end of the year. The race is on to finish strong while beginning to plan for 2026!

Tariff decisions were essentially made (maybe!) but, as an industry, everyone adjusts. The construction market, in many areas, appears to be “challenged”, especially the resi and office construction markets. Warehouse construction, nationally, is minimal but, if you win a data center!!! Even though they are 3-5% of the construction material budget (on average), the budgets are large … but take time to win and longer to implement.

We’re hearing of some that are winning and others that are fighting to retain. All while many are balancing the “investing in AI” decisions to streamline operations, improve accuracy, and prepare for the next generation of business.

With all of this as a backdrop, it’s time for the Q3 Pulse of Lighting survey.

We’d appreciate it if you could spare 3 minutes (or less) and share what you are seeing in your market for our 2025 Q3 Pulse of Lighting survey. Your input provides you a free industry report later this month (and if you’d like a complimentary copy of the Q2 report, email me.)

The survey is now open. We need your input by September 19!

Thank you to William Blair for their continued support.

All information is consolidated, and no respondent information is shared. Input is confidential and your contact information is requested solely so we can send you a copy of the report.

Thank you for your support!
