Held over two days at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, LiGHT 23 will take place on 21 & 22 November 2023. Organised by [d]arc media, the leading media company for the lighting design industry, it is the only UK-based trade show dedicated to lighting specification.
Lighting is one of the first things that should be considered when working on a project – whether you’re an architect, interior designer, or lighting designer. The importance of working with the right tools and having the right knowledge to produce the best light – and in turn the best environment for the end user – is undeniable.

LiGHT 23 will feature 100s of high-end lighting brands all under one roof, bringing the design community the very best that the decorative and architectural lighting market has to offer. From IP-rated products that can bring a stunning bathroom or garden design scheme to life; to statement decorative pieces for a restaurant or bar project; or elegant downlighting for a hospitality or resort venue.
LiGHT 23 will once again host the highly regarded talks programme [d]arc thoughts, featuring experts from across the world of design for two days of presentations. Topics covered affect all areas of the industry, such as sustainability and circular design, designing for a global client, and designing for healthy office spaces. Internationally renowned light artist Grimanesa Amorós is set to headline, taking to the stage on Tuesday 21 November to present ‘Illuminating Boundaries: The Exploration and Creation of Art Through Light’, followed by a Q&A session with arc magazine’s editor, Matt Waring.
