Messe Frankfurt announces Future Zone promoting Intelligent & Smart Lighting solutions for the nation

Apart from the advanced lighting solutions displayed at LED Expo, Messe Frankfurt India announces the launch of Future Zone, a platform presenting smart and intelligent lighting solutions. This exclusive zone will showcase “next gen technology” like smart lighting, smart switches and controls, wireless keypads, dimmers, decorative lighting and networking devices. In simple words, the lights displayed at this zone will have dimming capabilities and the ability to be controlled by an external network or an app when the person is not in vicinity. 

Technologically advanced solutions displayed at the LED Expo are expected to help business visitors get a better idea of the growth potential in the industry. Looking at the present situation where majority of the houses, public and commercial infrastructures are still being operated manually, introducing Future Zone at LED Expo could be a game changer in the energy conservation system of the country.

“The total turnover of the Indian lighting industry was INR 20,956 crores in 2016, out of which LED contributed to INR 11,399 crores, which is more than 54%. This shows that the lighting market in India is developing rapidly, moving from conventional lighting to LEDs,” shared Mr Shyam Sujan, Secretary General, ELCOMA (Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers Association of India).
