“LFDC2014: LUMINAIRES ARE GETTING SMART. ARE YOU?”

This years Lighting Fixture Design Conference (LFDC2014) in London is over for some weeks already, but you still owe a short conference update from us. Industry leaders from the UK and abroad discussed the future of lighting fixture design, including the evolution of luminaires, the shift towards smart lighting, innovations in the areas of data management and networking, and challenges such as glare control, rapid product development and patent disputes.

Faster Luminaire Developments

Thanks to the coming of LEDs and connected lighting opportunities, the luminaire development is ramping up super-fast. The only restriction is our own imagination. In today’s product development, design engineers are faced with more challenges than ever before. Above all, lighting is getting smarter and an integral part of the home and office environment.

The Future of Lighting Design has begon

If you are interested to learn how the lighting industry is evolving, please review also the video quotes from earlier LFD conferences at the side bar. Various lighting professionals provide you with their personal opinions and insights on what’s going on these years, and what to expect. From efficacy to smart lighting, from conventional manufacturing technologies to 3d printing. The future of lighting design has already begon. Would you join on the journey of light?

Lighting Fixture Design Conference 2014

“PROSPER IN A TIME OF RAPID CHANGE”

The lighting industry has never been as fast-moving, as competitive or as complex. It’s a time of major challenges for product developers – but this year’s Lighting Fixture Design Conference will help you prosper in the chaos.

How do you cope with the shortest product cycles the industry has ever seen? The most complex competitive landscape? The most rapidly changing technology? And a set of disparate market drivers? How do you do all this, and still prosper? That’s the theme of this year’s International Lighting Fixture Design Conference.

The programme will focus on how innovation, quality and time-to-market can make the key difference in success or failure. We’ll look at how the most outstanding products were conceived, developed and brought to market. We will also explore upcoming innovations and the major trends you can’t afford to ignore.

Challenging Design Engineering

Taking place in London’s Cavendish Conference Centre on Wednesday 4 June and Thursday 5 June, this next Lighting Fixture Design Conference will look at new technologies, materials, standards and techniques that are influencing lighting fixture design and production.
