Call for Images: 2024 Lighting Magazine

ALA is now accepting submissions from ALA member manufacturers for the 2024 Lighting magazine.

Images are due on November 17^th. If you would like to request an extension, contact Amy Wommack at Amy@ALALighting.com.

This edition of Lighting will be distributed in April 2024.

This is a chance for ALA members to showcase their products in the only international consumer publication dedicated to home lighting.

New for 2024, Lighting will move from the Better Homes & Gardens brand to be produced under the Traditional Home luxury portfolio. The enhanced branding is due to Lighting's popularity and high-end consumer base.

The 2024 issue will continue to be sold on highly targeted newsstands in the U.S. and Canada and will be shipped free of charge to ALA Showroom supporters of the ALA Advertising & PR Program.

Only ALA members who support the ALA Advertising & PR Program or advertise in Lighting are eligible to submit images.

To confirm your eligibility, join the PR program, or to find out more about advertising in the magazine, contact Amy Wommack at Amy@ALALighting.com

• Include short product descriptions or links to resource information with submission.
