Pharos Architectural Controls will return to LiGHT this November, using the London trade show to give visitors a first look at what it describes as significant new developments for its Pharos Designer software.
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.
Pharos Designer is the company's dynamic lighting control solution for architectural, themed and entertainment environments. Its programming and integration capabilities are intended to let designers build lighting experiences across projects ranging from individual spaces and buildings to large-scale connected installations.
The company is keeping full details of the announcement under wraps until the show. It says visitors can expect new capabilities in Pharos Designer that offer greater control over lighting effects, interactivity and colour, and that the work explores how dynamic lighting can move beyond fixed scenes and predetermined sequences. The aim, according to Pharos, is lighting that is more responsive, adaptable and engaging, and that can respond more dynamically to its environment and evolve in real time.
Rather than simply previewing features, the stand is intended to let visitors experience what the forthcoming creative and practical capabilities mean for dynamic lighting design in practice. The Pharos team will be present throughout the exhibition to demonstrate the developments, answer questions and discuss how the technology can support designers working on more responsive and immersive lit environments.
Michael Crilly, Senior Product Manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, said LiGHT has long 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 open up new creative possibilities for dynamic lighting. While declining to give much away before the show, he said visitors would be among the first to experience what the next evolution of Designer can do, and that the goal is greater creative freedom and new ways for lighting to respond and evolve.
Marco Caamano, Marketing Manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, described the show as a major moment the company has anticipated for a long time, with a large amount of work carried out behind the scenes. He said the LiGHT display represents a significant step forward for Pharos Designer and will be one of the first chances to see the developments in action. He added that the stand is aimed at those who work with Pharos, specify dynamic lighting control or simply want to see where the technology is heading.
Alongside LiGHT, Pharos will exhibit concurrently at IAAPA in Orlando, giving customers in the United States their own opportunity to see what is new.
