Last month Montreal-based SACO was declared the winner in the Lighting Design Awards 2016 category Architectural Luminaire — Exterior for its Shockwave ALFA fixture.

Projects spanning 17 countries across the world — including Poland, Croatia, Azerbaijan, Canada, the United States, Italy, Germany, the UAE, Iran, Australia, China, Spain, Poland, and Turkey — were celebrated and rewarded at the 40th Lighting Design Awards in the UK. Over 700 designers, architects, and suppliers attended the event.

The line-up of judges described SACO’s fixture as “an exceptional piece of engineering that stood out miles from the rest.”

“It’s a great moment for us,” says Fred Jalbout, Chairman and CEO of SACO Technologies Inc. “We’re proud to be amongst such talent and those who share a passion for advancements in Lighting. SACO has always been a pioneer and strives to nurture a culture that allows for innovation; receiving this award gives credit to our extraordinary team’s achievements.”

Some examples of projects using the Shockwave ALFA fixtures include the renowned Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in the UAE, digital carwash experience locations in Canada, and the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in the USA, just to name a few.

“It’s an amazing honour to receive this award and we are grateful to the design community for recognizing the ALFA in such a manner. The Video Lighting Shockwave family of products is the result of years of technological know-how. Technology should be there to enhance a project, so SACO designed this product line with architects and designers in mind, making it easier to integrate within the architecture,” says Jon Labbee, EVP and CMO of SACO Technologies Inc.
