ALA Inducts Sy Gerber Into Lighting Hall of Fame

The American Lighting Association (ALA) recognizes the newest ALA Lighting Hall of Fame inductee, Sy Gerber of GM Lighting. The honor became official during the ALA Virtual Symposium in September. Members of the association celebrated Gerber virtually by viewing a special video tribute to the lighting veteran.

An iconic fixture in the industry, Gerber embodies the characteristics required of all ALA Lighting Hall of Fame members as a significant contributor to the association and entire lighting industry. One of Gerber's most noteworthy achievements is the development of critical safety standards for recessed lighting that were a result of his work with the federal government.

The driving force behind Gerber's success is his unwavering value system. He recently reflected on what personal characteristics are most important to him. "I wouldn't trade my honesty and integrity for anything in the world," he said.
