Around 2,200 exhibitors, including all national and international market leaders, will exhibit at Light+Building. On an area of over 240,000 square metres at the fully booked-up exhibition centre, Light+Building presents innovations and energy-saving system solutions in the fields of lighting, electrical engineering and house and building automation under the motto, ‘energy efficiency’. But how can visitors find what they need from this huge range of products and services? The answer is easily thanks to logically arranged product groups, which enable visitors to find their way around quickly and without difficulty. Now, as the result of an optimised layout for building-services technology, this will be even easier at Light+Building 2010. Additionally, initial orientation is given by the three product sections:  lighting, electrical engineering and house and building automation.

At the world’s biggest platform for the lighting market, over 1,500 companies present the complete range of lighting technology including technical luminaires and lamps of all kinds and for all applications, designer luminaires in all styles from classic to modern and a huge selection of lighting components and accessories. At Light+Building, visitors can be sure of finding all future-oriented lighting technologies, such as LED luminaires for commercial and public buildings, as well as for the home.

Technical luminaires and lamps occupy five exhibition halls – 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 – as well as the ‘Forum’ and the ‘Festhalle’. The international companies making their presentations in Hall 3 include Artemide, Bega Gantenbrink-Leuchten, Erco Leuchten, Flos, Fontana Arte, iGuzzini illuminazione, Luceplan, Trilux and Targetti Sankey. In the ‘Festhalle’ and ‘Forum’, Osram, Philips, Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik and Zumtobel Lighting number among the companies represent¬ed. Many new exhibitors from the LED sector are taking part in the technical luminaires and lamps segment at Light+Building 2010, e.g., LG Innotek, Sharp Electronics and Toshiba. Together with other leading LED manufacturers, such as Nichia, Panasonic Lighting and Seoul Semiconductors, they can be found in Halls 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.

Urban Lighting presents the multi-faceted spectrum of outdoor lighting

Located in Hall 5.0 and focusing primarily on outdoor luminaires for public areas, the multi-faceted spectrum of outdoor lighting will be presented by numerous companies, including Ewo, Hess AG Form + Licht, Schréder and Thorn Lighting, under the heading Urban Lighting. Additionally, outdoor luminaires will be exhibited in a realistic setting at the Outdoor Lighting Boulevard on the Agora, the outdoor exhibition area of the Fair and Exhibition Centre.

Decorative luminaires of all styles for the home and the contract market will be on show in Halls 5.1, 6.0 and 6.1. Decorative Light is split into three main styles – modern, classic-modern and classic traditional – to make it easier for visitors to find their way around this product segment. Among the exhibitors showing classic decorative luminaires in Hall 6.1 are, for example, Arte di Murano, Classic Light, Iris Cristal, Joachim Holländer, Novaresi, Pataviumart and Savoy House; modern decorative luminaires are located in Hall 5.1 and the exhibitors include Bankamp, Menzel lighting manufacture group and Neuhaus Licht. Additionally, companies such as Albert Leuchten and Royal Botania present outdoor luminaires for the private sector in this exhibition hall.

The importance of design not only for decorative luminaires but also for technical lighting is clearly to be seen from the spectrum of technical design-oriented luminaires, which can be seen in Halls 1.1 and 1.2. The renowned companies exhibiting in this product segment include, for example, Axel Meise Licht, Brand van Egmond, DARK, Escale, Ingo Maurer, Metalarte, Nimbus, Oligo, Prandina, Quasar, Serien, Terzani and Tobias Grau. Rounding off this vast array of lighting products are full-range suppliers and decorative accessories in Halls 6.0 and 10.1.

Renowned exhibitors in this segment include, for example, Alanod, BAG Electronics, BJB, Helvar, Jordan Reflektoren, TCI, VLM SPA and Vossloh-Schwabe.

Electrical engineering now in the new Hall 11

As in previous years, the complete electrical-engineering spectrum will be represented at Light+Building 2010. With the integration of the new Hall 11, visitors will now find this broad spectrum of products in three themed groups. This year, around 450 companies from the electrical-engineering sector are showing innovations and trends in Halls 8 and 11. The range of exhibits for energy-efficient building-services systems, electrical installations and building infrastructure solutions in Hall 8.0 includes products for energy and data transmission, cable management, lighting protection and overload protection. Among the state-of-the-art technology to be seen are smart-metering system. The companies taking part in this segment include ABB / Busch Jaeger, Gustav Hensel, Hager Vertriebsgesellschaft, Mennekes, Niedax, OBO-Bettermann, Stiebel Eltron, Theben AG and Walther-Werke. More products from this segment are to be seen in Hall 9.0.

Everything in Hall 11.0 revolves around the subject of electrical installation and network technology with systems and components for energy distribution and control, low-voltage switching, control cabinets, network infrastructure and security systems. Also to be seen are switchgear and control systems, as well as tools and marking systems for electrical installations. The companies represented in this segment include Eaton / Moeller, Phoenix Contact, Rittal, Siemens AG, WAGO Kontakt and Weidmüller. Design-oriented electrical installations and building-services technology are located in Hall 11.1.

The spectrum of exhibits embraces operating and control elements, as well as switches, sockets, building-communication products, security components and actuators for building-system technology.

House and building automation now in Hall 9.0

With the move from Hall 9.1 in 2008 to Hall 9.0, the house and building automation section is now closer together with electrical engineering in Hall 8.0 and, therefore, easier and quicker to reach. In Hall 9.0, around 150 exhibitors present future-oriented solutions for house and building automation, facility management, contracting and other building-services equipment, such as photovoltaic systems and sun-protection solutions. The well-known companies exhibiting in this seg¬ment include EnOcean, Honeywell, Kieback & Peter, Saia-Burgess Controls and WAREMA Renkhoff.

By all accounts, ISE 2010 boasted record attendance levels, and I have to say it felt pretty busy to me. I must have walked miles, the place was absolutely massive! I’m informed that visitor numbers this year were up by over 14% and exhibitor rebooking was also at record levels. As other exhibitions appear to have struggled during the economic slump, ISE has gone from strength to strength, so I for one are expecting things to be even bigger in 2011. As for 2010, some of Ivory Egg’s highlights include:

Samsung H03 & SP-F10M

Samsung showcased two new excellent projectors… Weighing in at only 200 grams, the Samsung H03 is capable to run for about 2 hours on a single charge. It is LED-based and has a brightness of 30 ANSI lumens and a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours. Additionally, the H03 also supports various connectivity options like USB/PC/Composite, and features a handy MicroSD slot. On the other hand, the Samsung SP-F10M was touted as the industry’s first LED-based data projector with 1000 ANSI lumens of brightness and a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours, which means it could last for about 20 years with four hours of daily usage. The SP-F10M also features PC-free File Viewer allowing you to view or project the file directly from USB drive. Boh projectors support Office and PDF formats

Mitsubishi 149in OLED

What a beast… Mitsubishi Electric showcased a 149in prototype OLED screen. At 1920×3264mm OLED display or 6.2m or 149in, this is larger than any existing commercial product out there. It has a screen resolution of 1088×640 pixels at 3mm pixel pitch. They also had some nice LED-based projection engines for its Seventy Series display wall cubes (the L46XM), featuring a 46in diagonal WXGA (1366×768 pixel) LCD display with a total mullion width of 7.3mm, and a Multi-Touch interface option for its Seventy Series display wall systems that enables multiple users to interact with a display wall simultaneously.

Philips Dynalite Revolution Touch Screen

The Revolution colour touch screen and Revolution Series 2 user control panel were on display from Philips Dynalite. Also centre stage on their stand was an excellent demonstration room, which comprised a mock boardroom equipped with a remote-controlled integrated lighting and AV control system with additional curtain and blind control. The system incorporate Philips Dynalite controllers, serial port interfaces and user control interfaces, as well as third-party control systems. All components were linked via Philips Dynalite’s sophisticated peer-to-peer communications serial bus network, DyNet. In addition to this fully integrated lighting control system, Philips Dynalite showcased a number of individual integrated control system elements, such as the company’s modular multipurpose controller range. Ideal for home automation and hotel suite control applications, the controllers feature unique hardware-configurable design, where plug-in output cards accommodate specific loads assigned to the system.

Xantech’s Free Training Seminars

A leader in AV control, Xantech was running training seminars on its huge product line as well as discussing the current and future direction of the AV industry. We particularly enjoyed New 2010 Products that addressed the residential and commercial opportunities for custom integrators with multi-room audio, video and control installations. And also Digital Delivery Systems, which gave an excellent overview of the Xantech Digital Delivery System, a simple, elegant high-performance multi-room audio solution incorporating digital amplification, an all-digital signal path and multi-source keypads.
