LiGHT Expo London returned for its fourth and most successful year, once again taking over the Business Design Centre on 19–20 November. As the UK’s only dedicated high-end lighting exhibition, LiGHT 25 welcomed a record 6,764 attendees, bringing together architects, interior and lighting designers, engineers, and specifiers with hundreds of leading architectural and decorative lighting brands. Visitors enjoyed over 60 talks, product launches, and curated networking across the two-day event.

A major new feature for 2025 was the Technical Zone, a dedicated showcase for urban and commercial lighting, controls, components, lamps and gear, and emergency lighting. In the Decorative Zone, a new VIP Design Tour introduced 23 top design studios to 10 key brands, receiving excellent feedback from both visitors and exhibitors.

The show also expanded its programme of education and industry engagement. Supported by Studio Due, the Associations Lounge hosted leading bodies including the DALI Alliance, The LIA, ILP, SLL, and the IALD, alongside the Silhouette Awards celebration, LiGHT Lunch, and two days of splinter talks. The CPD-accredited [d]arc thoughts series, delivered in collaboration with Lutron, explored topics from sustainability and circularity to wellness and the business of design, featuring speakers such as Willie Duggan and Surbhi Jindal.

New for 2025, visitors experienced Re:Vision, an immersive light art installation by Speirs Major with formalighting, exploring colour perception across species through custom spectral profiles and reimagined Ishihara patterns.

Managing Director Paul James said:
“We are once again blown away by the positive response and record attendance. LiGHT continues to grow year on year, providing the perfect platform to discover new ideas, strengthen relationships, and stay at the forefront of the lighting industry.”

[d]arc thoughts Programme Director Helen Ankers added:
“The feedback this year has been incredible. From the new Technical Zone to the inspiring talks and stunning installation by Speirs Major, it’s been a fantastic edition. We look forward to celebrating our fifth year in 2026.”

LiGHT 26 will return on 18–19 November 2026, free to attend.
