LiGHT 26
A free two day lighting specification exhibition at the Business Design Centre, Islington, with more than 200 lighting brands and the [d]arc thoughts talks programme
Location: Business Design Centre, Islington, London
Date: 18 November 2026 to 19 November 2026
LiGHT 26 runs at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London on 18 and 19 November 2026. Organised by [d]arc media, it is described by the organiser as the UK’s only dedicated lighting exhibition and is aimed at architects, interior designers, lighting designers, engineers and specifiers. More than 200 lighting brands exhibit across architectural, decorative and technical zones.
The [d]arc thoughts talks programme runs over both days, with sessions listed on themes including understanding darkness, shaping atmospheres and how AI is being used by lighting designers. Entry is free for trade visitors who register in advance. Since the show opened in 2021 the organiser reports more than 20,000 visitors, 178 speakers and 95 talks.
Lighting is one of the few product categories where architects and interior designers still specify directly, and LiGHT has become the London fixture for that. For London practices it is the easiest place to see a season’s architectural and decorative lighting in one hall and meet the manufacturers’ specification teams in person.
