LED Expo 2018: Uplift Smart Lighting Market to Support Millennial Demands

The leading show for LED lighting and technology, from December 6 to 8, 2018, showcased an extensive array of smart lighting solutions from over 300 companies

Millennials in India are perpetually looking for secure and easy to integrate solutions. They are extremely tech savvy and understand the need for a functional home that gives them control over the level of customisation, energy efficiency and safety. Lighting is an essential part for any infrastructural project and the demand for smart homes calls for demand in smart lights.

Understanding this emerging trend for better infrastructure, the 19th edition of LED Expo 2018, New Delhi, brought in high-tech lighting solutions and gears from countries like India, China, Finland, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Korea, Turkey and Taiwan. The leading show for LED lighting and technology, from December 6 to 8, 2018, showcased an extensive array of smart lighting solutions from over 300 companies.

Addressing millennial’s demand

LED lights are no longer at a nascent stage. The usage of energy efficient lights has turned out to be an unceasing growth process and the term LED lights are expected to become common in cities and towns very soon. With the help of initiatives taken by the government and awareness among the millennial generation, LED lights have reached a level above and entered the smart LED revolution. The millennial generation is now looking for lighting technologies that offer them savings, sustainability (eco-friendly), uncomplicated and affordable solutions.

Smart lighting solutions

A similar trend is emerging in the commercial sector as well. Businesses these days are using smart and customisation friendly lights that help not only improve the look of their offices but also help improve employee efficiency and performance. The Government of India and associations like ELCOMA and EESL have also taken effective initiatives in changing the lighting trends of the country.

The three-day show was a perfect mix of knowledge-oriented insights, serious business discussion and a gamut of beautifully crafted and at the same time smart lights.
