3 Show Overview The central theme of GILE 2017 is THINKLIGHT: The convergent future. Shifts in the lighting industry have led the convergence of distinct technologies, industries and devices. As show organiser, we aim to provide fairgoers a professional industry platform to cultivate new business opportunities from both within and outside the traditional industry realms. In 2017, both the number of exhibitors and the product scope have expanded in accordance to the evolving lighting industry. Apart from the exhibition, our concurrent programme also encourages participants to share and exchange market insight as well as technical know-how. Through these initiatives, I hope we can help set the stage for discovering new industry breakthroughs. 3

Visit to big fair like GILE gives us ideas of what to produce next. This is my second time to GILE and I mainly look for production equipment, raw materials and components. I have already concluded a half million dollar deal of ceiling panel light with a Chinese supplier. This year I notice that smart lighting is becoming more important. Three years ago it was not there at all. The show is absolutely relevant to my business and I will come back again next year. I believe it is the largest lighting fair. Mr S.K. Malik, Director, Calcom Vision Limited (India) 6

7 Diversified Visitors Lighting associations and their members visited our show. France Sundicat du luminaire (GIL) Singapore Singapore Electrical Contractors & Licensed Electrical Workers Associations (SECA) India Luminaire I Accessories I Components I Manufacturers Association (LACMA) Korea China and South Korea Lighting Manufacturing Association We have 69 people coming from India in our delegation, of them come for the first time. They are looking for raw material, SKD material (semi knock down), etc. As the quality and technology in China is better than in India, we will buy the material in China and assemble it in India. We could not find any down light, spot light in India, and we are in need of that. I have been to this show for over 10 years, for those that are doing LED business, they must come to this exhibition. You can find all the new technologies and products in GILE. I think China is leading the lighting industry, in terms of price and technology. Mr Deepak Doshi, Lighting Engineers, Luminaires Accessories Components Manufacturers Association (India) 7

12 Lighting is not for illumination ONLY Light is a piece of artwork Light creates opportunities Light connects people Our main goal is to find new authorized dealers for our products and we are very satisfied with the results. We have found many new potential customers who are importers and dealers. The quality of visitors is high. Half of them are from domestic and half from overseas, including Europe and Asia, such as India, Vietnam, Taiwan and Thailand. Generally the current lighting industry is not easy. Competition is fierce. However, I believe that good quality can pay you back. Our company will keep improving and developing our LED department in order to meet the market needs.

13 The Convergent Future Two tracks of program featured by the lighting show have been specifically designed to provide the latest in tech, updates in market as well as information sharing by industry peers which run concurrently over 3 days featuring impressive A-list industry stakeholder from both multinational and top China companies, collection of thoughts draw big crowds: The convergence of IoTs and LED technology has changed the lighting industry dramatically. The concept of smart lighting sounds great, but how does it work? The idea of this convergence is a definite thing. It is only a matter of time that this will become a reality. said guest speaker, Mr Freddy Lim, Design Director, Lightcraft Ambience Architecture Sdn Bhd. Mr Tjaco Middel, Head of R&D (Asia Pacific), Tridonic China further elaborated, The LED boom is over, and where will the lighting industry move forward? In my perspective, I think the future belongs to IoT and connectivity. Lighting fixtures that can connect to the internet directly will have great demand. To make your devices connected is the key to success. How should China lighting industry respond to the changes? Mr Brad Koerner, Creative Director, Philips Lighting suggested, China s lighting industry needs to apply some of the great creativity that s there within the country to create new form factors and ways to use architectural lighting. Some of the trends I see for the future of lighting industry is light dematerializing from discrete decorative objects. Lights will be projected on surfaces to surround us, like light animation and others. This development will ultimately benefits our daily lives, also known as healthy lighting. What is the convergent future of lighting industry? Although smart lighting development is an inevitable trend in the industry, Mr Martin Klaasen, Director, Klaasen Lighting Design reminded us, lighting designers always design for people and not for lux matters. Depending on the available technologies, we always have the best interest of people using the illuminated space in mind. So, in a way, a lighting design is and has always beenhuman centric. 13
