The UK’s leading lighting specification event returns to London this November, bringing together more than 200 brands, technical innovations and industry expertise – with free registration now open
LiGHT 26, the UK’s only trade show dedicated to high-end lighting specification, returns to the Business Design Centre, London, on 18 and 19 November 2026, offering construction, engineering and building services professionals two days of product discovery, technical insight and networking.
As buildings become increasingly connected, energy-efficient and adaptable, lighting plays an important role in overall building performance. Beyond illumination, modern lighting systems contribute to energy management, occupant comfort, safety and the integration of intelligent building technologies.
For contractors, M&E engineers, consultants, architects and specifiers, LiGHT 26 provides an opportunity to explore these developments first-hand, discover new suppliers and engage directly with manufacturers.
More than 200 international lighting brands will showcase their latest innovations across three dedicated zones: Architectural, Decorative and Technical.
Of particular interest to the construction and building services sectors, the Technical Zone brings together manufacturers specialising in lighting controls, emergency lighting, OEM components, control gear and connected technologies.
Visitors can explore solutions supporting energy efficiency, connectivity and system integration, alongside practical considerations around installation, commissioning, compatibility and long-term maintenance. These discussions are increasingly important when delivering new-build and refurbishment projects that must balance performance, operational efficiency and future adaptability.
The Architectural Zone will showcase lighting solutions for commercial, residential, workplace and public environments, including high-performance luminaires, integrated systems and exterior lighting. Meanwhile, the Decorative Zone will feature design-led collections that combine aesthetics with functionality.
Beyond the exhibition, the [d]arc thoughts talks programme, curated by [d]arc media, will bring together industry experts to explore emerging trends, challenges and opportunities across lighting, architecture and design. Additional discussions within the Associations Lounge will provide further opportunities for knowledge sharing and professional engagement.
For construction professionals, LiGHT 26 offers more than product discovery. It provides a valuable opportunity to connect with suppliers, discuss project requirements, explore emerging technologies and build relationships across the wider construction and specification supply chain.
Completely free to attend, LiGHT 26 brings together the products, expertise and connections helping to shape the next generation of buildings.
