Key innovations and advancements from the Lighting industry in 2024

The COOLKITLIST highlights some of the latest and greatest products which were on display at some of the most prominent lighting events in 2024.

  • LiGHT24 - Light Expo London is the UK's only dedicated high-end lighting exhibition for designers/specifiers 

  • Light+Building 2024 - the world's leading trade fair for lighting and building services technology.

Something about Lighting industry events seems to attract a mixture of creativity and chaos, disruptors and disruption. This often transpires into a bit of an adventure for those brave souls travelling to or from the event. However, it takes more than a few cancelled trains to keep us away from a lighting show, and I’m certainly glad that we made the effort.

 

Light Expo London is The UK's only dedicated exhibition for lighting specification, and LIGHT24 was bigger and better than ever, with more than 5,500 attendees and many international designers, specifiers and suppliers in attendance, from as far afield as Los Angeles, Dubai, Riyadh, and Singapore. There is definitely a positive buzz around this show, and I was surprised at the volume of brands who were launching new products and features, especially given the proximity to the Light + building show in Frankfurt earlier this year.

 

There were some notable trends with several brands showcasing modular fixtures and systems based on miniaturisation of components, providing more flexible opportunities to integrate and conceal light. Fixtures made from recycled or recyclable materials, with fewer parts, or multifunctional components. Motorised elements which can provide dynamic variation, making products more adaptable to change. Many brands now focussing on improved sustainability, considering future serviceability and ways to prolong the useful life of their products and minimise waste. Some clever use of optics, enabling us to light with fewer luminaires, provide improved visual comfort, and less unwanted lightspill. We also noted an increased focus on options for light quality (more diverse options for colour mixing, with options for improved rendering) and also more focus on the physical appearance - the materiality, forms and finishes of the products and systems on display.

 

We always discover some peculiarities, innovations, and problem-solvers when our industry comes together like this - so with this in mind, here are some of our highlights of the latest and greatest lighting products and solutions from LIGHT2024 - https://bit.ly/LIGHT24COOLKITLSIT
