OLED technology takes first step into lighting market with meeting of leading designers and developers

The future of lighting is starting to reach the designer, with OLED products being prototyped and more and more designers getting on board. In London on June 21-22, the two worlds of OLED; design and development, collide to push the industry into the new era of lighting.

For many years, the lighting design industry has been waiting for the revolutionary form factor of OLEDs. Thin, flexible, low-power, high-efficiency area light sources they were promised, and the ability to transform lighting possibilities from point source bulbs and halogen lamps.

For a lot of lighting professionals, the OLED revolution was going to completely transform the industry from the smallest luminaire to the largest architectural build, starting in 2010 with the first roll-outs of panels from lighting companies such as Philips, OSRAM, GE and Novaled. Critics maintained OLED would go the same speed as inorganic LEDs and take many years to reach designers.

Recent developments in technology, enhancements in lifetime, governmental incentives and demand from designers have made one thing certain,

OLED Lighting has arrived

On June 21-22 in London, UK, pioneering lighting designers, OLED developers and Lighting manufacturers will come together to put the spotlight on OLED, discuss what it can and will be able to do, and explore its potential applications.

Following a very successful OLED Lighting Design Summit in Boston last year, event organisers OLED Insider have put together an agenda guaranteed to illuminate the future for lighting designers.

Representatives from Novaled, Philips, Universal Display, Thorn Lighting, Acuity Brands Lighting, Speirs and Major Associates, rAndom International and many more will be showing how OLED can and will transform every aspect of a lighting designer’s business.
