Many exhibitors catering to residential, architectural and hospitality lighting showcased LED lights with sleek designs, colour & temperature control, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled smart lights adapting to the recent needs of changing lifestyle and fashion. Talking about their newly launched products, Mr Dhaval Shah, Director, Western Electricals shared: “This year we have introduced frameless panels and downlight COBs that can change colours as per personal requirements. The footfall to our stall has been great and we are hoping for more valuable customers in the coming days. We are thankful for the organisers to give us this platform for business.” Other companies showcasing exquisitely designed smart LED lamps and luminaries were Lafit Lighting, Smartlight, and Akhandjyot to name a few.

Amongst many solar lighting companies present at the show, companies like Hi-Way launched fully integrated solar street lights with the solar panel and street light combined in one compact design. These lights with 12-15 hours back up are now being demonstrated to local and rural government bodies to encourage the use of solar lights as street lights.

On the other hand, visitors were satisfied that the exhibitors displayed advancements in-line with the latest trends and evolutions in the Indian LED industry. The current edition also saw government officials paying a visit to the show, looking out for smart and efficient lighting alternatives. Mr Deepak Suthar, Chief Engineer, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, shared: “I am visiting LED Expo Mumbai in search for smart indoor and outdoor lights available in India. I also found a company that offered smart poles which had various features in-build in it. I am happy that the platform offers options like these to help us stay updated with latest trends in the industry.”

Another government official, Mr SK Marwah, Senior Director, Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India shared: “This industry in its own way is contributing to the sustainable environment. A new national policy in electronics has been chartered out which has special focus on the LED sector because of its obvious advantages. We want to invite all the global manufacturers to set up their base in India. India today, offers an excellent environment to LED manufacturers.”

Giving his opinion of the show he further added: “I have been following LED Expo for quite a few years now. It is really amazing to see the new technologies, products, lighting systems, manufacturing equipment and the overall participation and interest among the exhibitors and visitors at the show. I have seen the exhibition grow with this year’s edition being the best.”
