The Hall of Connected Lighting, a highlight zone at the Autumn Lighting Fair, makes a return, bringing together some 70 top-tier brands. Several exhibitors that have contributed to globally renowned projects – including those at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, Yumeshima Station at World Expo in Osaka, Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan, the BBC’s London headquarters and M+ Museum – will present their products at the Lighting Fair, giving buyers a chance to learn more about their projects as well as the latest innovations.
The Smart Pole and Solution Zone, introduced last year at the Outdoor and Tech Light Expo, is returning to showcase innovative solutions that aid smart city planning and energy efficiency optimisation.
The two lighting fairs will also host thematic forums, product launches and networking events. Receiver of the 2024 DFA World’s Outstanding Chinese Designer award, renowned lighting designer Tino Kwan will host a masterclass on integrating life and technology.
The Innovative Lighting Design Forum, which will take place at the HKCEC on 27 October, will explore two key themes: ‘City Design．Design City: Lighting Design Bound Up with Daily Life’ and ‘RCEP Opportunities Shining Through Cultural Lighting Design’.
Speakers will include representatives from renowned international and local companies, as well as architects and lighting designers, who will share top design cases from various regions and analyse market trends.
