Step into the LiGHT

LiGHT 22 is a lighting exhibition for specifiers and designers, brought to you by [d]arc media. Held on 22 & 23 November 2022, at the Business Design Centre in London, LiGHT sees high-end lighting manufacturers exhibit their latest product collections alongside a two-day talks programme; a late-night drinks event, and LiGHT Works - a dedicated workspace for visitors.

In collaboration with lighting control specialist Lutron, the talks programme will see leading designers working with light take to the stage. Headline speakers Sally Storey, founder of Lighting Design International; Mark Major, a founding partner of SpeirsMajor; and Nick Hoggett, of dpa lighting consultants will sit down with arc editor Matt Waring to share their thoughts and insight on the lighting design profession. Considered by many as founders of the lighting design community in the UK, the designers will look at how the industry has grown, predictions for the future and reflect on past projects and trends. A special feature of the show, LiGHT Works is a dedicated area for anyone who needs to complete office tasks during the two day show, so they don’t have to worry about being out of the office. In a quiet location upstairs in the gallery of the Business Design Centre, visitors will find a remote office space complete with dedicated wi-fi, charging points, co-working desk space, and comfortable lounge furniture, there’s no need to leave the exhibition to get the job done. Registration to attend the show is completely free and full visitor information and talks programme details can be found at:

Available in two lengths – 640mm and 500mm – and two colour temperatures – 2200K and 2700K.

Lumo by Zero

Stand 23

Lumo, designed this year for Zero by Thomas Bernstrand, is in essence a cone-shaped pendant which is available in five colours. Cast from a single piece of aluminium, Lumo has a diffusor in matte acrylic, which is imperceptibly mounted into the shade to avoid glare. Made in Sweden, this versatile lamp can be ordered as a single pendant or on a variety of railing fixtures to form straight, round, triangular or quadrilateral formations suspended with the fixtures’ cables. An example shown here is Lumo Trio on a straight rail.

Designed by Chia-Ying Lee, Random Solo is an extension of the original Random range, featuring a suspension lamp that hangs blown-glass spheres, resembling bubbles floating in the air. The spheres are available in five sizes and six finishes, including Lodes’ latest glossy bronze shade, which creates an opportunity to play with colour and scale.

Wave Collection by Curiousa

Stand 59

The Crest & Cascade pendants from the new Wave Collection work beautifully for a bespoke chandelier. For each pendant, careful precision and detail is required to piece them together, keeping an organic feel with a modern approach. Each glass part is freeblown in the UK and beautifully complements a locally turned wooden disc. Solid brass end-caps punctuate a spiral of LEDs within a diffused tubular suspension, creating a beam of light that glows through linear stacked glass pieces.

Glo by Penta Light

Stand 36

Glo is an icon of Penta Light’s collection, a glass sphere enhancing the glare of light, in a game of reflections back and forth between the lamp and the space or among the lamps themselves. The rich palette of colours and the different dimensions of the suspension lamps are a toast to creativity.
