Major lighting brands including Signify, Holophane, Glamox, ASD, Bell Lighting, Prime Light, Mymesh, Stoane Lighting, Light Projects Evolve, Trojan Lighting and Silent Design are all set to be involved in the upcoming Circular Lighting Live 2024 event.
The companies have signed sponsorship and exhibiting deals for the one-day conference and exhibition, organised by lighting industry sustainability authority, Recolight, and billed as the UK’s largest event dedicated to sustainable lighting.
“This is a major vote of confidence,” says Nigel Harvey, CEO of Recolight. “These leading brands understand the direction of travel of the sector, which is towards a sustainable low-carbon future.”
The event, taking place at the Royal College of Physicians in London on Wednesday 9 October 2024, is designed to inspire and educate in equal measure with a programme exploring innovation in best practice, inspirational projects and design and procurement.
It brings together lighting specifiers and suppliers to consider the practical ways we can collaborate to drive sustainability.
A hierarchy of lighting
This year’s event is themed by Recolight’s Hierarchy of Lighting, a philosophy of prioritisation which emphasises reuse and refurbishment in lighting projects.
Circular Lighting Live 2024 features leading experts, specifiers, innovators and policy makers who will share their insights into forthcoming standards and legislation, emerging technologies and new business models.
The keynote speaker is Signify Chief Design Officer, Ton Borsboom, who will explore how AI will accelerate product development and project design.
Rachel Hoolahan, Associate at architectural practice, Orms, will explain how a new material passport scheme will work for luminaires; while Kael Gillam, Associate Lighting Designer at Hoare Lea, will untangle environmental data including EPDs, LCAs, TM66 and TM65.
Other speakers include Irene Mazzei, Head of Development at Stoane Lighting, Jonathan Rush, Director at Hoare Lea, Paul Beale, Founder of 18 Degrees, and Neil McLean of Lutron and Chairman of the LIA’s sustainability working group.
The conference is free to specifiers, and an early bird discounted booking rate for suppliers ends on Thursday 31 July. Further details and bookings are available at circularlighting.live.
