he webinars bring together experts, thought leaders and innovators to share insights, discuss challenges and explore the latest trends shaping sustainability and circular economy action in the sector.
EPDs: A User’s Guide The fi rst webinar on 29 January will demystify Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), addressing what they do and don’t reveal about luminaires. Participants will learn how to interpret EPD documentation and understand what constitutes robust, actionable data for comparing products.

EU environmental law: Implications for the lighting sector
The lighting industry is facing a complex set of EU sustainability and circularity regulations that will signifi cantly reshape how luminaires are designed, manufactured and specifi ed. On 29 March our panel will off er strategic guidance on how to get ahead of it and UK rules that may be expected in the coming years. Speakers are Teresa Selvaggio, director of public aff airs at LightingEurope; Frank Thomas, compliance manager, ATG Airports: Neil McLean, industrial relations manager, Lutron; Nigel Harvey, chief executive offi cer, Recolight.
DC lighting: The next step in sustainability
Direct current networks are gaining ground
in data and industrial centres, as they can cut energy use signifi cantly by eliminating conversion losses. They also integrate effi ciently with renewable energy, motor drives and power electronics. So, is this an idea whose time has come? On 17 September we explore DC grids and networks with Ulrich Boeke, senior scientist, Signify and Hartwig Stammberger, manager strategic associations direct current, Eaton and chair of board of Open DC Alliance at ZVEI.
Government’s ‘Circular Economy Growth Plan’
Last year, the government set up a taskforce to make recommendations on how to implement a circular economy in England, and we expect to see a consultation on the proposals this Spring. A webinar will be scheduled when on publication of the consultation.
The series, chaired by Ray Molony of Circular Lighting Report, all start at 11:00 and last for 90 minutes. Every webinar is free to attend, open to all and includes a dedicated Q&A segment. Attendees who register will receive a link to the recording and the complete slide pack, providing a valuable resource for ongoing reference. Recolight’s 2026 Webinar Series reaffi rms its commitment to advancing industry knowledge and supporting the transition to a more sustainable built environment.
