What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Make Great Light, a small business based in Arden Hills, Minnesota, secured a federal contract to supply NaturaLux light filters to NCIS Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. This marks the third order from the agency. The filters are designed to reduce glare, block UV exposure, and improve light quality without requiring fixture replacement.

The contract reflects a broader pattern across federal workplaces where facilities managers are increasingly choosing cost-effective filter solutions over funding expensive full-lighting retrofits. This signals growing federal demand for practical lighting improvements that enhance workplace comfort.
