Organisers unveil plans for Circular Lighting Live 2025
Recolight, the organiser of Circular Lighting Live, has unveiled its plans for the 2025 event.
Next year the one-day conference and exhibition on sustainability in lighting will take place on Thursday 25 September at the new Minster Building Conference Centre in the City of London.
It will also feature a refreshed programme with new technology workshops and a larger exhibition space.
The announcement follows a successful outing earlier this month when almost 300 designers, manufacturers and clients gathered to discuss the next steps in the industry’s journey to decarbonise its impact on the environment.
A major theme throughout the day was the growing need for lighting manufacturers to provide credible third-party certified environmental metrics such as Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs.
Recolight unveiled a partnership with One Click LCA, which provides lighting brands with a luminaire-specific online tool to generate Life Cycle Assessments of their products and EPDs.
The impact of artificial intelligence on lighting product design and manufacture also featured strongly, as did the benefits of using additive manufacturing (3D printing) and newer, non-fossil fuel based bioplastics.
The importance of establishing an organisational baseline carbon footprint, and setting carbon reduction targets was also covered in detail, supported by the availability of a new Recolight/Auditel carbon assessment service.
The 300 attendees, sponsors and speakers hailed the event as a resounding success.
The unanimous feedback from delegates confirmed that Circular Lighting Live, now in its third year, provides essential information and clarity in what is a both a vital, but also a rapidly changing landscape.
‘CLL2024 was a fantastic event,’ said Greg Bristol of ASD lighting. ‘I came away awed by the challenge but inspired by the amazing people and companies working towards a more sustainable industry.’
Martin Wherry of Glamox added: ‘Circular Lighting Live 2024 was an inspiring and essential gathering. It showcased how the industry is coming together to innovate around circularity, pushing the boundaries of sustainable lighting design while embracing AI and digitalisation.
‘The focus on reuse and refurbishment is exactly the kind of forward-thinking approach our sector needs to achieve net-zero goals’.
Simon Fisher of F Mark said: ‘If you are into lighting, sustainability and the built environment, this is THE event to be going to every year!’
Attendees had the opportunity to visit the exhibition stands of platinum event sponsor Signify, and gold sponsors Albis, ASD Lighting, BELL Lighting, FUTURE Designs, Glamox, Holophane Europe, Light Projects Evolve, Mymesh, Prime Light, Silent Design, Stoane Lighting, Tridonic, Trojan Lighting Solutions and Urbis Schreder.
