INDUSTRY EVENT

Join us this November for the inaugural LiGHT – the UK’s only dedicated high-end lighting specification exhibition for designers, architects and specifiers – the ideal destination to source the latest lighting products, connect with peers and meet with the best established and emerging lighting brands. With more than 100 leading brands showcasing their latest products, the event will also host the latest instalment of the hugely popular [d]arc thoughts talks programme featuring 30 speakers. The UK has the second largest design industry in the world and is the largest in Europe. London has seen design-led businesses more than double since 2010. Lighting is a vital aspect of the design industry and the design process. Of the 217 lighting design practices in the UK, over half (116) are in the Greater London area (source ILDS 2021). This is by far the biggest concentration of lighting designers in one city in the world. And that’s not to mention the thousands of interior designers and architects that are based in the UK’s capital and beyond. Most of these designers not only specify in the UK but have a significant portfolio overseas. This makes London the capital of international specification. To cater for this sector, LiGHT 22 is a curated, boutique lighting exhibition for specifiers and designers brought to you by [d]arc media, publishers of arc and darc magazines, and the team behind the incredibly popular [d]arc awards and [d]arc sessions, with an in-depth knowledge of the lighting specification sector. Held at the stunning Business Design Centre in Islington, London, LiGHT 22 will revive the lighting design and specification exhibition that has been lacking for too long.
