A new highlight of this year's fairs, Light Lab , debuts in Hall 3 as a dedicated themed display area designed to immerse visitors in the future of smart and intelligent lighting. This innovative showcase features interactive lighting products equipped with cutting-edge technologies, presented in a compelling scenario-based format to demonstrate real-world applications. Visitors can explore three distinct scenes:

• Lumin Garden highlighting garden lights, smart poles, and solar-powered solutions — including the standout Sansi Basin-Clip Plant Light, which leverages proprietary independent ceramic technology for superior heat dissipation far exceeding traditional metal structures. This reduces LED temperatures, minimises light decay, and enhances stability and safety, while its high corrosion resistance delivers a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours. Paired with precise spectral tuning and advanced optics, it offers high efficacy, low energy consumption, and uniform illumination tailored to every stage of plant growth — outperforming conventional plant lights in overall performance.
• Lumin Gallery showcasing sophisticated museum lighting, along with modular track lights and spot lights. One of the highlights is Xiaoshanqiu Cylinder Spotlight Star Series by Sansi Shanghai, which achieves a breakthrough in luminous efficacy through Sansi's self-developed ceramic core technology. Brightness is boosted by 1.5 times compared to ordinary downlights, while creating pure, elegant hill-shaped wall-washing light spots. The bezel-less and narrow-bezel design seamlessly blends into modern home aesthetics, with deeply recessed light sources and a 65° shading angle that significantly reduces glare for comfortable, eye-friendly lighting — redefining quality in residential and gallery illumination.
• Lumin Arena featuring high-performance stadium lights, high-bay lights, and wall washers — headlined by the F Series Stadium Light by Fozhao Huguang (Maoming) Technology. Crafted using full aluminum forging techniques, it is 20%-45% lighter than traditional fixtures at equivalent illuminance levels, significantly reducing transportation costs and installation demands. Its high-thermal-conductivity 1060 pure aluminum effectively lowers LED chip operating temperatures, extending lifespan to 100,000 hours and minimizing maintenance needs. The design also enables quick and straightforward installation, eliminating complex on-site adjustments and dramatically shortening project delivery timelines for sports lighting applications.

Many of the exhibited products emphasise ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, include award-winning designs, and draw from iconic real-world projects, underscoring the latest trends in sustainable, intelligent, and human-centric lighting solutions.

In addition to showcasing products, the twin lighting fairs will feature informative forums where industry players will share their insights on the latest trends and developments in the lighting industry. These forums will provide a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and networking among industry professionals. Asian Lighting Forum will take place on 20-21 April to facilitate the lighting industry to adapt to the latest sustainability standards and market trends of landscape and outdoor lighting, as well as showcasing recognised immersive entertainment lighting projects by award-winning designers. To be held on 21 April, industry experts will present the technological advancements in human-centric lighting and the application of intelligent LED solutions with case studies in Smart Lighting Solution Forum .
