Cyclone Lighting Wins 2025 Red Dot Award for Valenza

Cyclone Lighting is pleased to announce its Valenza luminaire has received a 2025 Red Dot Design Award for Product Design.

The luminaire’s light engine, known for its excellent performance and durability, is equipped with fully sealed, optically engineered, injection-molded acrylic lenses with an IP66 rating for enhanced performance and durability. Valenza luminaires are offered with more than thirteen distribution types, including symmetrical, asymmetrical, and crosswalk options.
