Nichia announces 2024 European Roadshow focused on sustainable lighting innovations

Nichia, the global LED manufacturer, is launching an exclusive roadshow across three major European cities in the latter half of 2024. This series of invitation-only events – taking place in Madrid, Lyon, and London – will gather top industry experts, architects, lighting designers, and fixture manufacturers to delve into lighting technology and conscious design to create spaces that enhance the way people live, work, and interact with their environments.

In addition to showcasing Nichia’s leadership in the lighting industry, the roadshow will unveil sustainable lighting innovations that go beyond mere functionality. Leveraging the latest advances in LED technology, these solutions enhance light quality to engage more profoundly with human experience, cultural context, and biophilic principles, fostering a closer connection to nature within built environments.

The events will feature a comprehensive agenda that includes sessions which address local design challenges and opportunities along with hands-on lighting demonstrations to allow participants to engage directly with technology solutions both in architecture and automotive lighting.

The program includes conference-style presentations featuring contributions from Anoche Iluminación, Arkilum, ARUP, Estudio Lamela, Formula Luci, MadeinLED and sAtt. The presentations will explore luxury retail and hospitality lighting along with a closer look at the lighting design powered by Nichia in the historic Centro Canalejas Madrid. Attendees will also participate in a roundtable debate, led by a panel of industry experts and moderated byLightecture, on the challenges and opportunities to promote sustainability and well-being in architectural projects.

The second leg of the roadshow is held in Lyon on 6th November. Nichia will present on many topics including high CRI for indoor automotive applications, and the convergence between architectual and automotive lighting. Guest speakers include ENTPE, Cluster Lumière, Gaggione, Stilec, and Formula Luci.
