LII 2013 to provide marketing opportunities for lighting industry

LII 2013 to provide marketing opportunities for lighting industryIndia’s largest and brightest lighting fair, titled Light India International 2013 (LII 2013), will be organised by Indian Society of Lighting Engineers (ISLE) in Chennai Trade Centre during September 13-16, 2013. ISLE is a professional registered body in illumination engineering with a broad-based membership of scientists, engineers, architects, academicians, researchers and designers. ISLE is closely associated with the Bureau of Indian Standards, Department of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Power and Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources.
A recent study suggests that by the end of next decade more than 50 per cent of lighting use will move from conventional lights to LED-based lighting systems because of its energy efficient performance, and hassle-free maintenance. In order to meet this kind of growth in demand, the lighting industry in all sectors will need a large number of professionals trained in lighting to back up the industry in the domain of R&D, QC, production, and design and technology adaptation. At the same time, there is a growing demand by architects, consultants, and city planners for lighting professionals. Responding to this urgent need, ISLE has initiated the process of establishing an internationally recognised education course in lighting across India as an integral part of its mandate by signing a MoU with the Lighting Education Trust (LET), UK to promote lighting education in India. This course has been implemented in Mewar University, a UGC approved engineering education establishment in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan.
Light India International 2013 will publicise the developments taking place in the lighting industry and provide excellent marketing opportunities for all the products and services under the lighting industry. The exhibition will showcase a wide range of products over 16,500-sq.-metre-exhibition area in Chennai Trade Centre, covering residential, commercial and retail lighting. IT, publications and consultancy services relating to lighting industry will also take part in the event. Seminars and technical sessions, theme pavilion and special outdoor lighting will be the other salient features of the fair.
