Lightfair 2016 Features Integrated Sensors and Color Tuning as Leading Trends

The aisles were packed. We heard over 20,000 people attended the show.
Editor Julie Mazur meets with Sunny Han from Nanoleaf, which has some very fun and functional lighting products.
Julie meets with Brian Bloom who told us about Acclaim, a lighting company founded in DJ entertainment.
The big trend at Lightfair seemed to be sensors built into luminaires, like this one at the Sengled booth.
Shuji Nakamura's Nobel Prize for the blue LED was on display at Soraa's booth.
Obligatory artistic shot of some really cool lamps at the Tech Lighting booth.
San Diego Convention Center resembles a space port in places.
Osram Sylvania hosted an event where they made some exciting announcements. This was the view.
And there were fireworks!

Last week, some of the magazine staff were in San Diego for Lightfair. Of course, if you follow us on Twitter or Instagram, you already know that.
The lighting industry is very important to electrical contractors. We know from our biannual profile that more than 90 percent of ECs engage in this work. Lightfair is a huge show, and every major player attends, so we look to the conference to inform us of what's going on in lighting.
