Recolight unveils plans for Circular Lighting Live 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lighting industry\u2019s most forward-thinking event returns as the organiser Recolight reveals the programme for Circular Lighting Live 2026, a showcase of innovation, sustainability and circular design.<\/p>\n

Taking place on Thursday 8 October 2026 at the Minster Building in the City of London, the event promises to challenge \u2018business as usual\u2019 industry models and explore practical solutions for a low carbon future. It will feature fresh new formats and exciting interactive features.<\/p>\n

The one-day multitrack conference will also incorporate the presentation ceremony of the prestigious Build Back Better Awards 2026 and an expansive exhibition where pioneering brands will unveil innovations in sustainable lighting.<\/p>\n

At the heart of this year\u2019s conference is Vision 2040: Restructuring the lighting sector, where the keynote speaker will imagine a world beyond the take-make-use-waste model. Will inventory live in ceilings rather than warehouses? Could lumens be delivered on subscription? And is a fully circulating, zero-waste ecosystem finally within reach?<\/p>\n

Following the keynote presentation, delegates can choose from six specially curated sessions to get the most out of the day.<\/p>\n

1. REAL WORLD REUSE: MAKING IT WORK | Practical case studies demonstrating how luminaires can be reused at scale, overcoming logistical, technical, and cultural barriers to deliver true circularity.<\/p>\n

2. EPDs ON TRIAL: FIT FOR PURPOSE? | Experts scrutinise environmental product declarations, questioning assumptions and examining whether they genuinely support better decision-making.<\/p>\n

3. MATERIALS MASTERCLASS: MAKING THE FUTURE | A deep dive into materials innovation, supply chains, and design choices shaping resilient, low-impact lighting solutions.<\/p>\n

4. CONFRONTING CAT A: THE ALTERNATIVES | Rethinking standard fit-outs, this session explores viable alternatives that reduce waste, preserve value, and challenge default demolition practices.<\/p>\n

5. FUTURE LIGHTS: INNOVATION WORKSHOP |Speakers showcase the most sustainable luminaires on the market today, exploring the key materials, technologies, and concepts driving progress.<\/p>\n

6. DISRUPTIVE DESIGN: PROJECTS UNCOVERED |A close look at the stand-out lighting schemes of 2026, revealing what truly sustainable design looks like in practice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Big brands supporting the 2025 event included Signify, Sylvania Group, Glamox, KKDC, Prime Light | Group, Prolojik Limited, Thorlux Lighting, Trojan Lighting Solutions Limited, NVC Lighting UK, Mymesh by Chess UK, SMART SYSTEMS UK LIMITED and ALBIS Distribution.<\/p>\n

Attendance is free for specifiers such as lighting designers, consulting engineers, end users, and architects.<\/p>\n
