New dates for launch edition of Light + LED Expo India
(India) – The inaugural edition of Light + LED Expo India, organised by Messe Frankfurt India and the Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers Association (ELCOMA), has been moved to November 2022.
With the aim to reunite lighting industry stakeholders at an opportune time, the event – the biggest lighting exhibition in India – will now be held on 3-5 November 2022 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Speaking of the launch edition of the event, Raj Manek, Executive Director and Board Member of Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings, said: “LED Expo and Light India have created a niche in the lighting industry by being the top choice for trade. With the enormity at which these shows are hosted, there is no doubt that the launch edition of Light + LED Expo India will converge the entire lighting industry on a global level.
“Our aim with this strategic merger is to make India a hub for investments in the lighting sector and to provide equal trade opportunities for domestic as well as international stakeholders. I am confident that the new dates will allow us to accomplish the goals we have set for the momentous platform.”
While the launch edition of Light + LED Expo India has been postponed until 2022, the 2021 edition of LED Expo New Delhi will be held from 18-20 November, as per its original booking.
Shyam Sujan, Secretary General, ELCOMA, said: “The Indian lighting market is valued at INR 3 billion in 2021 and will register a year-on-year surge in the next three years at 10% to 11% with LED market having a share of 92% of total lighting value. This demonstrates that India has the potential to become the world’s most lucrative market for lighting and components industry.
“We want the exhibitors and visitors to make the most of the business opportunities offered at Light + LED Expo India and the dates for the upcoming edition were decided in tandem with the industry’s stakeholders.”
Covering the entire lighting ecosystem, the launch of Light + LED Expo India in 2022 will open doors to new trade opportunities for lighting and component manufacturers and suppliers, enabling them to strengthen their supply chain and tap into investments provisioned by the Indian government, under its Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme.

Stoane Lighting to hold virtual Park Event this Friday
(UK) – Stoane Lighting’s well-renowned annual lighting get-together is moving online this Friday.
Typically held in a sunny London park, the manufacturer was hoping to bring lighting designers together for a long overdue physical party this week, but as with many industry events over the past year, it has had to move online.
However, the move online has meant that the event has opened up to a wider, international lighting audience.
For the new, online celebration, Stoane has partnered with the GreenLight Alliance and the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL), for a series of mini workshops and discussions centred around sustainability and the post-Covid workspace. Led by Sharon Stammers and Martin Lupton of Light Collective, who will kick off and conclude the festivities, each session will also be followed by a Q&A session moderated by Emilio Hernandez, Chairman of the GreenLight Alliance.
The agenda for the event is as follows:
Block 1: The post-COVID workspace
- Occupancy management systems with lighting interventions linked to social distancing
- Wayfinding and smart space management with links to lighting
- The launch of Stoane Lighting’s VCL (Video Conferencing Light)
Block 2: Sustainability
- What we’re doing with our waste aluminium: forge and sandcasting demos
- Midton talk about recycling plastic
- ReNew in detail: repairing and remanufacturing luminaires when, what and how
- Guest presentation by the GreenLight Alliance
- Guest presentation by the Society of Light and Lighting on the forthcoming TM66 (Circular Economy Assessment Methodology)
Registration for the event is free – more information on how to register can be found here.
Acclaim Lighting Flood One EO Color
Flood One EO Color is a high output, outdoor rated, colour-changing LED floodlight with a very low-profile design. Ideal for façade and wide-area lighting applications, the outdoor RGBW LED floodlight is available in multiple variants, including Acclaim’s Spectrum Technology which allows for a more expansive colour palette and dynamic white capability. Flood One EO Color comes with a standard 10° beam angle with optional spread lenses of 20°, 40°, 70°, 90°, and 10° X 60° for custom lighting applications.
Clear Lighting Flexglo F23
Flexglo F23 reflects the trends of LED neon flex, requiring small physical size yet ideal lumen output, and comparatively more cost-effective. It may be easier to source smaller ones in the market, however hardly any can combat it in terms of appearance, colour consistency, heat dissipation, waterproof, and lifespan on average. Underpinned by Clear’s rich experience in the lighting industry, the company has reached a subtle balance to fit high-end design demand.
John Cullen Lighting Vorsa Dot
Bring focus to what matters with the smallest track-mounted luminaire on the market – the Vorsa Dot. With a choice of flood or spot luminaires, multiple different optics and five different snoots, it allows your lighting to be as tailored as your display. An innovative proprietary track with different mounting options offers maximum control with independent dimming levels. The Dot delivers a powerful 65Lm along with a CRI of 98.
Bright Special Lighting Regio Flex LED
The Regio Flex LED is the latest entry into Bright Special Lighting’s high-quality LED lights. The wallwasher has a smart design, allowing the fixtures to be hidden, while ensuring that walls and ceilings are properly illuminated with options of optical lens’ from 5-60. With a high pressure casting aluminium body, low wattage, IP65 rating and uniform lighting, designers can create indirect lighting effects, integrate mood lighting and bring the night to life.
LightGraphix LD792
LightGraphix has launched four new downlights - LD780, LD782, LD790, and LD792 - with single colour, two-tone, fixed and adjustable options, rated IP65 for interior, exterior and marine applications. Bezel diameters start at 46mm, achieving an excellent size to output ratio delivering over 400lm. Colour temperatures range between 2200K-5000K and beam angles include several medium and a super tight 10° narrow. A single deep recessed optic ensures ultra-low glare, superior beam shape and no multiple shadows.
