TECHNOLOGY / EUROLED 2010 EUROLED 2010
There was a solid showing for the return of EuroLED - a UK forum for the display and discussion of solid state lighting
If the queue trailing out the door of Coven- try’s RICOH arena at 9am was anything to go by, the popularity of this year’s euroLED took organisers a little by surprise. This 7th edition of the annual solid state lighting conference and exhibition, which took place on the 9-10 June this year, proved to be the most popular to date with close to 1,900 visitors.
As well as the 120 exhibitors - a cross sec- tion of manufacturers, research centres and technology experts - a two-day paid conference programme provided a forum to discuss the current and future state of solid state lighting.
Day one of the conference concentrated on the technical aspects of LED lighting begin- ning with an overview of the market and industry. This included a talk from Steven Mills & Rachel Buckle of the UK’s environ- mental agency DEFRA.
Other topics included ‘Emerging technolo- gies and barriers to adoption’, ‘Light engine components and integration’, and ended with a workshop on some of the tools avail- able to help solid state lighting designers. The second day focused more on the end user: explaining the terminology used and exploding the myths surround LEDs; discuss-
ing the application of LEDs in lighting design project; and finishing with a selection of case studies showing the successful use of LEDs.
In addition to the main conference, the Lighting Association and LIF ran a series of free seminars, including talks from OSRAM, Philips Lumileds, Tridonics and Photonstar. A gala dinner, sponsored by Toshiba, provided a further networking opportunity for at- tendees.
EuroLED Manager, Eve Gaut, was pleased with the positive response to both days. ‘I am absolutely delighted with the growth that the euroLED event has seen this year, with the exhibition hall doubling in size, and visitor numbers increasing dramatical- ly,” she commented. “The continued sup- port from all of our key sponsors, supporting organisations and indeed the euroLED 2010 Expert Conference Panel, has certainly contributed to this year’s success. The Bir- mingham Science Park Aston euroLED team already have plenty of plans for 2011 in order to meet and fulfil industry demand.” EuroLED 2011 is provisionally scheduled to take place on 8th and 9th June 2011 in the West Midlands.

Held for the first time in 2010, Strategies in Light Europe builds on the success of the flagship Strategies in Light event in California, USA, which in it’s eleventh year attracts nearly 3,000 attendees and features close to 100 exhibiting companies. Strategies in Light Europe 2010, brings LED and Lighting technolo- gies from all sectors and all stages of the supply chain together under one roof, providing one event for people within the industry to find the solutions they need. The list of attendees includes the LED manufacturing supply chain, members of the lighting industry, the lighting design community, policy makers, standards organisations and other key stakeholders. It will showcase technology from a range of industries including LED lighting fixtures (luminaires) and replacement lamps, automotive lighting, high-defini- tion LED displays, backlighting in TVs, Laptops mobile devices, outdoor lighting, signs and displays, signals, and architec- tural and decorative lighting.
