The main theme of the 20^th Edition Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE 2015) which runs from June 9-12, 2015 was “exploring light and living.”

Following the proliferation of smart living, the function of “light” has become much more than luminaires illuminating a space. The lighting industry’s shared purpose has become finding ways to improve people’s living quality. “Exploring light of people’s lives” was one of the main themes at this year’s show, which will be discussing human centric lighting concepts, lighting quality, and wireless technology. Intertwined these lighting fields comprise the future blue print for the lighting industry.
