SYLVANIA Lighting by LEDVANCE Spreading Light across the Nation with the Be the Light Campaign

Nominate someone who lights up a room today to be rewarded for their
positivity.

WILMINGTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Holding the elevator for a stranger. Buying a coffee for the next
person in line. Cheering up a friend who is down. Giving a warm smile
while working the drive-thru window. Doing a podcast that makes
people laugh during their long commute. These are just some of
the little ways people who “Be the Light” make our country a brighter
place. LEDVANCE is working with the Be
the Light Campaign to issue a call to action to find and
recognize people who give off positive energy and joy, and reward them
for spreading light. In North America, LEDVANCE offers SYLVANIA
advanced LED lamps as well as a wide range of traditional light sources,
standardized luminaires and connected lighting solutions.

Starting today through February 10 at www.sylvania.com/BeTheLight,
you can nominate anyone who exemplifies what it means to “Be the Light”
as a way to thank that special person that makes your day brighter.
Examples could include a person who exudes positivity, is always willing
to help out when needed, or is an inspirational role model. You could
nominate a friend, family member, co-worker, anyone you know, or even
yourself as a way to inspire others. Out of the nominations, 50 people
who best embody the “Be the Light” concept will receive a Thank You Gift
that includes a $50 Amazon Gift Card and SYLVANIA lighting products. If
your nominee is selected, we will reward you with a $10 Amazon Gift Card
and lighting products too! Starting on National Random Acts of Kindness
Day (February 17), these selected stories of light-hearted people will
be shared online with the hope they will ignite a movement toward
positivity and help inspire others to Be the Light.

“The Be the Light Campaign emphasizes the profound impact small acts
that spread light have on individuals and communities. SYLVANIA lighting
has been illuminating homes and businesses for over a century, and by
joining this cause now we want to shine a light on people who Be the
Light, meaning people that are a source of positive energy for those
around them,” said David Geyer, Head of Brand Management – US and
Canada, LEDVANCE. “With the start of the New Year, now is the time to
set the tone for 2017 by encouraging light and positivity.”

“Be the Light is focused on the importance of hope. We believe that
mental health is just as important as physical health, and that small
moments of kindness can alter the course of someone’s day. These can
have a rippling effect that positively impacts more and more people over
time,” said Melissa M. Syler, founder of the Be the Light Campaign.
“Working with LEDVANCE’s SYLVANIA lighting team, we invite the nation to
be an agent of change. Be a part of something larger than yourself. Be
the Light.”
