LIGHT 26 REGISTRATION OPENS AS MESSE FRANKFURT UK LAUNCHES THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR THE UK’S LIGHTING SPECIFICATION EVENT L
iGHT 26, the UK’s only trade show dedicated to high-end lighting specification, returns to
the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, on 18 and 19 of November 2026, bringing together the lighting and design community for two days of product discovery, expert insight and valuable industry connection. Since launching in 2022, LiGHT has quickly
established itself as a key date in the calendar for architects, interior designers, lighting designers, engineers, consultants and specifiers, offering a dedicated platform to discover new products, meet leading manufacturers and connect with the people behind some of the most innovative lighting projects. For two days, the Business Design Centre will
become a hub of creativity, collaboration and conversation, with hundreds of leading architectural and decorative lighting brands showcasing the latest products, technologies and solutions. From cutting-edge lighting systems and controls to decorative fittings, technical innovations and smart building technologies, visitors will have the chance to experience new ideas first-hand and discover products before they are specified on future projects. Returning for LiGHT 26, the Technical Zone will
provide a dedicated area for brands specialising in lighting controls, emergency lighting, OEM components, lamps, gear, connected technologies and more. Reflecting the growing importance of intelligent and integrated lighting solutions, the zone offers visitors the chance to explore the technologies driving the future of sustainable and efficient design. Beyond the exhibition floor, LiGHT 26 will deliver
an inspiring programme of talks and discussions, bringing together influential voices from across the lighting, architecture and design communities. Curated by [d]arc media, the [d]arc
thoughts talk programme will explore the latest challenges, opportunities and ideas shaping the future of lighting, with speaker announcements for this and the splinter talks programme in the Associations Lounge to follow. Adding another creative dimension to the show,
planning is already well underway for the LiGHT 26 Art Installation, which will once again bring together lighting, creativity and design to create a memorable centrepiece for visitors to experience during the exhibition. Further details will be revealed in the coming months, with visitors invited to experience this unique feature during the show. Networking remains at the heart of the LiGHT
experience. From conversations with exhibitors and industry experts to informal catch-ups with peers, the event provides the perfect environment
to build relationships, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities. The popular late-night drinks reception will also return, offering visitors and exhibitors the chance to continue conversations in a more relaxed social setting after the first day of the show. LiGHT 26 also marks the first edition of the
exhibition under the ownership of Messe Frankfurt UK, following the acquisition of LiGHT Expo London. Now part of Messe Frankfurt’s internationally recognised portfolio, the exhibition will continue to build on the strong foundations established since its launch, while retaining the community-focused identity that has made LiGHT such a valued event within the lighting industry. [d]arc media will continue to support the exhibition through promotional activity and the curation of its content programme. Simon Albert, CEO of Messe Frankfurt UK, said:
“LiGHT has become one of the most important meeting places for the UK lighting specification community, and we’re delighted to welcome the industry back this November. As the first edition under Messe Frankfurt UK, LiGHT 26 will continue to deliver what visitors and exhibitors value most – exceptional brands, inspiring content and meaningful connections – while benefiting from the international reach and expertise of the wider Light + Building portfolio.” With thousands of professionals expected to
attend, LiGHT 26 is set to once again bring together the brands, ideas and individuals shaping the future of lighting. Completely free to attend, it offers an unmissable opportunity to discover new products, gain fresh inspiration and connect with the wider lighting community. If lighting plays a role in your projects, LiGHT 26
should be in your diary. Register now for free and be part of the UK’s
