Pharos Architectural Controls will return to LiGHT this November, using the London exhibition to give visitors a first look at what it describes as the most significant development to its Pharos Designer software in recent years.

LiGHT 26 runs on 18 and 19 November at the Business Design Centre in London, bringing the architectural lighting community together for two days of new products and technologies, talks and industry discussions. Pharos will exhibit on Stand 43.

What visitors can expect

The company is keeping full details under wraps until the show, but says visitors will be able to see new capabilities in Pharos Designer that give greater control over lighting effects, interactivity and colour. The forthcoming features are presented as a step beyond fixed scenes and predetermined sequences, opening up ways to create lighting that is more responsive, more adaptable and more engaging.

Pharos Designer is a dynamic lighting control solution aimed at architectural, themed and entertainment environments. Its programming and integration capabilities are intended to support projects ranging from individual spaces and buildings to large-scale connected installations.

According to Pharos, the next evolution of Designer builds on those capabilities so that lighting can respond more dynamically to its environment and evolve in real time. The stand is intended to let visitors experience what the changes mean in practice rather than simply preview technology, with the Pharos team on hand throughout the exhibition to answer questions and discuss how the technology supports designers working on responsive and immersive environments.

Company view

Michael Crilly, Senior Product Manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, said LiGHT has always been a good opportunity to meet the architectural lighting community, but that this year the company has something particularly exciting to share. He said the team has been working on something new for some time and that the changes made to Pharos Designer unlock new creative possibilities for dynamic lighting, adding that visitors will be among the first to experience what the next evolution of Designer can do. He framed the launch as extending designers' creative freedom and offering fresh ways for light to respond and change.

Marco Caamano, Marketing Manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, described the show as a huge moment for the company that it has been looking forward to for a long time, with a considerable amount of work carried out behind the scenes. He said what will be shown at LiGHT represents a significant step forward for Pharos Designer, and that the exhibition will be one of the very first opportunities to see the developments in action. He said the stand is aimed at those who work with Pharos, who specify dynamic lighting control, or who simply want to see where the technology is heading next.

Also in Orlando

Alongside LiGHT, Pharos will exhibit concurrently at IAAPA in Orlando, giving customers in the United States their own opportunity to find out what is new.
