27 networking events, and a dedicated talks programme. It also offers the opportunity to learn more about association initiatives and membership.
Central to the educational element of the show programme is the CPD-accredited [ d ] arc thoughts talks series in collaboration with Lutron. Curated and moderated by editors of arc and [ d ] arc magazines alongside guest moderators, the two-day talks programme will bring together global experts to address themes ranging from sustainability and circularity to wellness, health, and the business of design. Topics are set to include dark skies, inclusive design, multi-sensory environments, data transparency, colour, health and wellbeing. Whether you’ re interested in sustainability, technical innovation or the human experience of light, the programme aims to inspire fresh thinking, professional development and meaningful dialogue.
LiGHT 25 will also feature a major new light art installation. Following Frankie Boyle’ s acclaimed Intra- Spectrum in 2024, this year sees Speirs Major Light Architecture partner with formalighting to present Re: Vision. Exploring the theme of colour perception across species, Re: Vision uses custom spectral profiles and reimagined Ishihara colour blindness test patterns to reveal the diversity of visual experience across the natural world. The installation invites visitors to step outside their own perceptual boundaries and reconsider how lighting design can respond to a richly biodiverse and interconnected planet.
LiGHT isn’ t just a trade show made up of rows of exhibitors. It’ s a chance for designers, engineers, and architects to really immerse themselves in light, learn more about how light shapes the design industry, and make new connections through our varied features.
