A major transformation is underway in the lighting and design industry as LED Expo Thailand rebrands and expands its scope. After ten successful editions, the event is evolving into the ASEAN Light + Design Expo 2025, reflecting the growing demand for innovation, aesthetics, and smart technologies in lighting solutions.
The new event will take place from 17 to 19 September 2025 at the IMPACT Exhibition Centre in Bangkok, offering an immersive platform for industry professionals, designers, and innovators.
A Shift Beyond a Traditional Trade Show
The ASEAN Light + Design Expo represents more than just a name change—it signifies a shift in focus from being a marketplace for lighting products to becoming a hub for creativity, technology, and collaboration. The event will showcase cutting-edge lighting designs, interactive installations, and hands-on workshops, bringing together industry leaders to explore the latest trends.
Organisers describe the event as a dynamic forum where functionality meets creativity, aiming to redefine how lighting is perceived and utilised across various industries.
An Evolving Industry
With lighting no longer just about illumination, the exhibition will highlight how aesthetic appeal and design innovation are shaping the future of the industry. Attendees can expect to see:
- Live demonstrations of advanced lighting solutions
- Engaging workshops on emerging design trends
- Smart lighting technologies integrated with modern lifestyle concepts
Beyond product displays, the event will also feature immersive lighting installations, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a lighting festival.
Spotlight on Smart Technologies
A key addition to the revamped expo is the Smart Living Expo, running alongside the main event. As the global smart home market is projected to reach $313.95 billion by 2026, the demand for automated lighting, smart home solutions, and office technologies is rapidly increasing.
The co-located Smart Living Expo will showcase:
- Smart home innovations improving design and functionality
- Intelligent office solutions enhancing productivity
- Building automation technologies transforming modern spaces
This segment is expected to attract tech developers, architects, and interior designers looking to integrate smart technologies into homes and workplaces.
A Hub for Collaboration and Innovation
ASEAN Light + Design Expo aims to become more than a trade exhibition—it will be a marketplace of ideas, bringing together professionals from across the sector to exchange knowledge, foster collaborations, and shape the future of lighting and design.
Industry experts believe that this evolution is necessary as lighting continues to play a crucial role in sustainability, architecture, and user experience.
The organisers are inviting designers, business leaders, and innovators to be part of the ASEAN region’s largest lighting and design event.
