The lighting industry's transition from traditional lighting to LEDs, connected controls, and smart building technologies has created decades of innovation opportunities. Having worked in the energy savings industry for more than 25 years, I've seen organizations invest heavily in engineering, product development, testing, and performance optimization without realizing those activities may qualify for R&D tax credits. For lighting manufacturers, designers, controls developers, and energy technology firms, this deadline is an important opportunity to ensure innovation investments are being recognized and captured appropriately.
