Lighting Is Changing. Find out How at LuxLive

Organisers of this year’s LuxLive exhibition have unveiled their plans for the event. The 2017 outing focuses on the digital future of lighting and includes what they are calling ‘the most ambitious educational programme seen in the industry’.

There will be four theatres, two arenas and six dedicated feature areas, each one dedicated to a different aspect of lighting. At the heart of the show is the Gooee IoT Arena. This centrepiece stage and technology zone is where the digital future of lighting comes to life. Demonstrations, presentations, discussions and break-out talks will focus on connected lighting and the exciting possibilities it’s opening up to engage occupants and control our world.

By contrast, the lightspace arena – in association with Amerlux – will focus on the quality and design of light. It will feature two days of curated content on architectural lighting including debates and presentations from inspirational designers and architects. Keynote speakers for 2017 are Mark Major of Speirs + Major and Mark Middleton of Grimshaw. 

Powered by Holophane, the Smart Spaces Campus focuses on connected outdoor lighting. Here you’ll see sophisticated lighting systems with advanced features such as environment monitoring, asset management, parking information, lamp and ballast failure reporting and integration with third party systems and software.

Wireless connectivity delivered by the visible light from LED lighting – known simply as Li-Fi – is creating a lot of excitement in technology circles. No wonder. This breakthrough development could transform lighting into a backbone for information and free up congestion on traditional Wi-Fi networks. You can this technology in action yourself at the Li-Fi Experience, where start-up companies in this exciting space will be demonstrating the tech.

At a time of heightened concern about building safety, the Escape Zone will focus on emergency lighting requirements and standards. Here you’ll learn how to do a risk assessment, best practice procedures, the latest innovations and how to ensure you installation is compliant with the regulations.

If you want to become an expert in lighting, check out the Lighting Industry Association’s Lighting Academy. Taking place every morning in theatres 6 and 7, this special educational programme will see experienced tutors from the Lighting Industry Association take you through the fundamentals of light, light sources and lighting design. Sign up at www.lialightingacademy.com.

On the exhibition floor is the extensive LIA Zone, where the organisation is showcasing its many services for members. The LIA Labs will be there, demonstrating its testing procedures and its precision equipment, Lumicom is showing off its mobile recycling facility and the training division is discussing the unprecedented availability of qualifications.

Finally, if you are involved in the financing of lighting companies, there’s the Strategies in Light Investor Forum. Here CEOs of innovative lighting companies unveil their market strategies before an audience of venture capitalists, fund managers, investors and industry leaders. Who’s delivering value? Who are the disruptors? And who will be disrupted? This is a must-attend event for senior management.
