The role of lighting has been redefined and transformed into a vital component that enhances well-being and fosters improved environments along with the advancement of the lighting industry. Smart Lighting Expo, a comprehensive platform for the entire supply chain, showcasing an extensive array of products and solutions, including smart lighting technologies, human-centric designs, energy-efficient innovations, advanced digital signage solutions and much more. Given the rising demand in smart display solutions and entertainment lighting driven by mega-events all over the world, a new zone named Smart Commercial Display & Stage Audio-Visual Zone will be launched, featuring renowned brands and leaders of the industry. Key industry leaders such as Absen, whose products were used in NBA, New York Times Square and FIFA Qatar World Cup, will showcase their latest offerings.

The concurrent Spring Lighting Fair will continue to serve as a one-stop trading platform. The Greenovation zone will make a welcome return and showcase green building products and green lighting products, including solar panel, electrical engineering, energy-efficiency lighting systems, safety and security technology. The Leisure Lighting Zone and the Outdoor Lighting Zone will be newly introduced to bring specialised products tailored to leisure and outdoor applications. Fair’s highlighted zone, the Hall of Aurora, will gather renowned brands and showcase innovative lighting products and technologies. Other product zones include commercial lighting, decorative lighting, residential lighting, technical lighting and lighting accessories.

A new highlight of this year’s fairs, Light Lab, debuts in Hall 3 as a dedicated themed display area designed to immerse visitors in the future of smart and intelligent lighting. This innovative showcase features interactive lighting products equipped with cutting-edge technologies, presented in a compelling scenario-based format to demonstrate real-world applications. Visitors can explore three distinct scenes:

  • Lumin Garden highlighting garden lights, smart poles, and solar-powered solutions — including the standout Sansi Basin-Clip Plant Light, which leverages proprietary independent ceramic technology for superior heat dissipation far exceeding traditional metal structures. This reduces LED temperatures, minimises light decay, and enhances stability and safety, while its high corrosion resistance delivers a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours. Paired with precise spectral tuning and advanced optics, it offers high efficacy, low energy consumption, and uniform illumination tailored to every stage of plant growth — outperforming conventional plant lights in overall performance.
  • Lumin Gallery showcasing sophisticated museum lighting, along with modular track lights and spot lights. One of the highlights is Xiaoshanqiu Cylinder Spotlight Star Series by Sansi Shanghai, which achieves a breakthrough in luminous efficacy through Sansi’s self-developed ceramic core technology. Brightness is boosted by 1.5 times compared to ordinary downlights, while creating pure, elegant hill-shaped wall-washing light spots. The bezel-less and narrow-bezel design seamlessly blends into modern home aesthetics, with deeply recessed light sources and a 65° shading angle that significantly reduces glare for comfortable, eye-friendly lighting — redefining quality in residential and gallery illumination.
  • Lumin Arena featuring high-performance stadium lights, high-bay lights, and wall washers — headlined by the F Series Stadium Light by Fozhao Huguang (Maoming) Technology. Crafted using full aluminum forging techniques, it is 20%-45% lighter than traditional fixtures at equivalent illuminance levels, significantly reducing transportation costs and installation demands. Its high-thermal-conductivity 1060 pure aluminum effectively lowers LED chip operating temperatures, extending lifespan to 100,000 hours and minimizing maintenance needs. The design also enables quick and straightforward installation, eliminating complex on-site adjustments and dramatically shortening project delivery timelines for sports lighting applications.

Many of the exhibited products emphasise ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, include award-winning designs, and draw from iconic real-world projects, underscoring the latest trends in sustainable, intelligent, and human-centric lighting solutions.

In addition to showcasing products, the twin lighting fairs will feature informative forums where industry players will share their insights on the latest trends and developments in the lighting industry. These forums will provide a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and networking among industry professionals. Asian Lighting Forum will take place on 20-21 April to facilitate the lighting industry to adapt to the latest sustainability standards and market trends of landscape and outdoor lighting, as well as showcasing recognised immersive entertainment lighting projects by award-winning designers. To be held on 21 April, industry experts will present the technological advancements in human-centric lighting and the application of intelligent LED solutions with case studies in Smart Lighting Solution Forum.

Providing Buyers with a seamless sourcing journey

The events will adopt the EXHIBITION+ hybrid model, enhanced by the “Click2Match” online smart business matching platform, available from 13 to 30 April and “Scan2Match” will be also available at the fairs, serving as a feature designed to bridge offline and online interactions. With the HKTDC Marketplace App, buyers can scan dedicated QR codes from exhibitors to bookmark their favourites, access product information, view electronic floor plans, and engage in conversations with exhibitors even after the fair, allowing them to seamlessly continue their sourcing journey.

To attract exhibitors and buyers from key markets, the HKTDC is offering special airfare deals and value-for-money hotel accommodation while more than 40 hotels are offering special booking discounts for trade buyers and five airlines are providing discounted airfares for overseas buyers and exhibitors. In 2025, the twin lighting fairs welcomed some 15,000 buyers from 108 countries and regions, a testimony to the fairs’ internationality.

The opening of the “K-SUUL Pavilion” was served as a key milestone in raising the global profile of Korean alcoholic beverages and expanding overseas exports.

At the inaugural “K-SUUL AWARDS” held by National Tax Service of Korea last December, 175 small and medium-sized liquor producers from across Korea submitted a total of 366 products. Following document screening and blind testing, 12 products were selected.

The award-winning liquors, selected through a fair judging process with the participation of Korean citizens, was introduced to the global market through this exhibition, marking their first step toward overseas expansion.

The “K-SUUL Pavilion” was operated through cooperation between the National Tax Service of Korea and the liquor industry and association (the Korea Alcohol and Liquor Industry Association). It was designed as an integrated promotional platform to strengthen the export competitiveness of Korean alcoholic beverages and develop overseas sales channels.

The “K-SUUL Pavilion” was operated with a total of 16 booths (display and tasting booths), and 12 companies — including winners of the K-SUUL AWARDS — participated to hold consultations with overseas buyers.

Participating companies ranged from traditional liquor breweries to regional soju producers and major liquor companies, showcasing the diverse spectrum of Korea’s alcoholic beverage industry on a single stage.

In addition to the booths operated by the 12 participating companies, a dedicated booth was set up exclusively to showcase the award-winning liquors, further highlighting the significance of the K-SUUL AWARDS.

At the venue, promotional videos of the award-winning liquors were screened, while English-language brochures and souvenirs were distributed to attract local buyers and visitors to raise awareness of Korean alcoholic beverages.

In addition, meetings with the organizers of Vinexpo Asia, overseas buyers, and distribution industry officials were also held to identify rapidly changing global liquor market trends and assess the overseas expansion potential of Korean alcoholic beverages.

Han Yeong-seok Fermentation Research Institute expressed gratitude for being given the opportunity to participate in the exhibition, saying, “It was meaningful to showcase our award-winning liquor, ‘Dohan Cheongmyeongju,’ on the same stage as liquors from around the world through this exhibition. We did our best to promote Korea’s unique fermentation culture and the value of Korean liquor to the world.”

Going forward, the National Tax Service of Korea will continue to enhance the substance of the K-SUUL AWARDS, continuously discover outstanding liquors from promising small and medium-sized enterprises, and will actively support the globalization of Korean liquor (K-SUUL) by promoting it both domestically and internationally and helping these businesses expand their sales channels.

Opening our first YesStyle beauty retail store here feels like coming home and reinforces our commitment to continue innovating and delivering exceptional experiences to our customers, both online and offline.”

Empowering the B2B Wholesale Business AsiaBeautyWholesale (ABW) Growth

By physically showcasing a curated yet expansive selection of bestselling Korean beauty brands, including SKIN1004, Medicube, Anua, Dr. Althea, Beauty of Joseon, COSRX, and more, in a premium US retail environment, YesStyle acts as an effective market-testing ground.
