Make Great Light, a woman-owned and veteran-owned small business based in Arden Hills, Minnesota, has secured a federal contract to supply NaturaLux light filters to NCIS Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. This marks the third order from the same federal customer, demonstrating proven performance and client satisfaction. The filters reduce glare, block UV exposure, and improve light quality without requiring fixture replacement or electrician installation.
Make Great Light announced today that it has won a federal contract to supply NaturaLux light filters to NCIS Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. This repeat award represents the third order from the agency, signaling consistent performance and ongoing client confidence in the company's LED light covers and fluorescent filter solutions. The contract underscores growing federal demand for cost-effective lighting improvements that enhance workplace comfort without costly infrastructure overhauls.
The NCIS order reflects a broader pattern across federal workplaces: aging fluorescent and LED lighting systems that contribute to employee eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. Rather than fund expensive full-lighting retrofits, facilities managers across government agencies increasingly turn to LED light covers and related filter solutions as practical alternatives. Installation requires no electrician, no rewiring, and no fixture replacement—facilities staff can complete the work in minutes using basic hand tools.
Make Great Light serves an extensive network of federal, state, and local agencies. The company's track record includes successful deployments at the U.S. Navy, Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, Department of Justice, FBI, IRS, Social Security Administration, EPA, National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. International clients span Canadian federal and provincial departments. In total, Make Great Light has installed more than 30,000 filters across government facility lighting environments, education systems, and healthcare institutions.
"A third order from NCIS tells us the filters are doing exactly what facilities managers need them to do: fixing harsh overhead lighting without shutting down a workspace or calling in an electrician. We're proud to support the people working at NCIS Headquarters in Quantico, VA, with better light," said a company spokesperson.
How Make Great Light Helps Federal Facilities Reduce Lighting-Related Discomfort
Federal workplaces rely heavily on fluorescent and older LED fixtures designed primarily for cost and durability, not employee comfort. These systems generate glare, invisible flicker, and ultraviolet exposure that add up over an eight-hour shift. Workers experience LED light headaches, visual fatigue, and reduced concentration—challenges that facilities managers must address while respecting tight budgets and operational constraints. NaturaLux filters convert existing harsh lighting into full-spectrum, comfortable illumination by reducing glare, blocking UV radiation, and improving color rendering. The solution works with any fluorescent or LED overhead fixture, making it adaptable to the diverse infrastructure found across federal campuses and office complexes throughout the region and beyond.
Facilities managers also use NaturaLux filters to fulfill ADA reasonable accommodation requests for employees sensitive to specific lighting conditions. In shared indoor spaces where environmental modifications benefit groups rather than individuals, filters represent a scalable, equitable approach. The low per-unit cost and near-zero installation footprint make bulk deployments feasible for agencies managing multiple buildings or multi-site operations. Tax-exempt ordering, volume discounts, and purchase order acceptance streamline procurement for government customers.
