Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition is the most highly regarded platform for the LED and lighting industry, providing a platform for the industry to communicate, cooperate and create valuable business opportunities.

2022 Show Theme - New Era, New Opportunity

Driven by the maturing of the LED market, the lighting industry is moving increasingly towards smart lighting technologies. By embracing the digital transformation, the lighting industry faces new opportunities in intelligent lighting controls, predictive management, space and occupancy analytics, beacon networking among many other applications that have created additional value to basic lighting fixtures. In addition to the technological advances, there are also changes in business models. Lighting vendors no longer merely sell light as a product but instead sell lighting as a service based on IoT connectivity. New lighting applications such as automotive LEDs, micro and mini LEDs, horticultural lighting, UV and IR LEDs offer new possibilities for the industry. Today, those in the lighting industry have to consider many complex factors while making their next decision in the new era of lighting.

With this in mind, the theme chosen for the 27th edition of GILE is ‘New Era, New Opportunity’ along with the theme of the fringe programme ‘Turning Ideas Into Action’, promising to share different ways of thinking about lighting in the new era, as well as how to put those ideas into practice. GILE will therefore once again offer a dynamic hub for the lighting industry to share ideas across different market segments, establishing dialogue around strategies for a new, complex and ever-changing marketplace.
