New lighting trends

Sustainable development

According to Stratistics MRC, the sustainable lighting market is expected to grow from USD6.92 billion in 2019 to USD35.26 billion by 2027, reflecting increased environmental awareness. At the
Outdoor and Tech Light Expo , E-Lite Semiconductor Incorporated (Booth no.: 6-J08) presents smart lamp posts equipped with energy-saving LED lighting and sensors that can adjust lighting levels based on environmental conditions, thereby reducing energy consumption. Exhibitors use the
Autumn Lighting Fair
to launch new products. Tridonic (Booth no.: GH-D01) launches the Tridonic - lichtMONITOR lighting management software for the first time in Asia at the
Autumn Lighting Fair . The software can monitor an entire lighting system in a building, allowing users to track lighting requirements and identify potential energy-saving opportunities.

Healthy living

A study published by the Human Centric Lighting Society shows that adopting "human-centric lighting" in offices can reduce errors by 18% and increase productivity by 10%. At the
Autumn Lighting Fair , Leedarson IoT Technology Inc. (Booth no.: 1B-D02) presents the LEEDARSON - circadian rhythm kit (individual control) - lighting control kit. Its human-centric lighting system intelligently adjusts the colour, temperature and brightness of the light source to simulate natural daylight, thereby enhancing productivity and comfort. The NFC Bluetooth RGBCW Driver from LTECH (Booth no.: GH-D03) provides a healthy lighting solution that synchronises lighting in the user's location with changes in local sunlight, thereby helping users adjust their sleep rhythms and protect their eyesight.

Innovative design

Lighting design not only needs to be practical but also aesthetically pleasant. Polish exhibitor TOPMET (Booth no.: GH-C10), participating in the
Autumn Lighting Fair
for the first time, presents the NAMI23 LED aluminium profile. Adopting the Japanese word for "wave" as its product name, NAMI's design is inspired by Japanese culture and minimalism. With a unique shape and available in various colours, the product balances aesthetics and functionality. At the
Outdoor and Tech Light Expo, AGC Lighting Co., Ltd. (Booth no.: 8-E02) presents the UFO High Bay Light (HB81 Candela), which won the 2024 Red Dot Design Award. Its unique design echoes a classic pendant light, complemented by precise optics and high-performance power components.
