Show Overview

Thailand Lighting Fair (THLF) is ASEAN’s leading trade fair on lighting technology, design and

application. The show was held concurrently with Thailand Building Fair and Secutech Thailand

from 8 ‒ 10 November 2018 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre. Collectively,

the three shows gathered 300 exhibitors from 18 countries and regions and welcomed 10,270

visitors over the three-day fair period.

The 2018 edition of Thailand Lighting Fair adopted a theme of showcasing lighting solutions that

are smart, sustainable and human-centric. Many exhibitors featured lighting that integrated network

connectivity and intelligence while applications that promoted energy efficiency and luminance were

also noticeable around the fair.

The three shows offered a comprehensive platform of smart and green building technologies that

enhanced the relationship between the various sectors. Fairgoers were provided with new chances

to discover overlapping business opportunities within the building ecosystem and witness

sustainable city developments in the ASEAN region.

Our Exhibitors

We have received a surprising amount of interest from buyers who originate

outside of Thailand which is great as it means that the fair is able to attract

quality buyers from overseas. We are targeting system integrators and facility

managers and we have managed to meet these kinds of buyers during the

show. We wanted to make a greater effort in branching out into markets like

Thailand so participating in the fair provided us with an ideal opportunity.

Mr Ken Sayker, Sales Director Asia Pacific, Graesslin GmbH

By integrating Thailand Lighting Fair, Thailand Building Fair and Secutech into

concurrently held shows, it allowed us to meet more potential clients as there

is a lot of crossovers between these industries. We have managed to meet a

number of distributors and system integrators who have a good understanding

of our products and of the market in Thailand and Asia.

Visitor Statistics

The fair has a wide variety of products and I saw exhibitors from many different sectors of the lighting industry.

I was looking to find local Thai manufacturers with their unique products and take on lighting solutions. I’m

satisfied with the fair as it met my expectations in terms of the type of exhibitors I was able to meet. I will return

next year.
