Smart connectivity, healthy living and LED display technology are leading industry development at this year’s twin lighting fairs in Hong Kong, which bring together some 3,000 exhibitors from more than 20 countries and regions.
The 28th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) opened on 27 October at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), where it runs until 30 October. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 2026 Hong Kong International Lighting Fair is paired with the 11th Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo, which opened a day earlier at AsiaWorld-Expo and continues until 29 October.
Staged under the theme Beyond Illumination, the two fairs frame their displays around smart connectivity, healthy living, immersive spatial experiences and sustainability.
“As the lighting industry is evolving rapidly, the twin lighting fairs this year are held under the theme ‘Beyond Illumination’, highlighting key industry trends related to smart connectivity, healthy living, immersive spatial experiences and sustainability,” said HKTDC associate executive director Silas Chu.
“By building an international trade and technology exchange platform, the fairs connect global buyers with industry players and foster the sustainable development of the lighting industry.”
