elektrotechnik 2025: Experience the future of light.
155
Between
12 and 14 February 2025, Messe Dortmund is once again set to become the
epicentre of the electrical engineering sector. One of the focal points at the
44th elektrotechnik show will be lighting equipment, as an area of speciality
within the buildings technology segment. Demand for lighting-related products
is high, and for the first time two halls are being dedicated to them, with a
large number of exhibitors presenting their latest solutions and offerings.
Experts will also be on hand as part of the accompanying supporting programme
to impart practical knowledge on current norms, standards and new technologies
– for example at the Dortmund Lighting Day on Day 2 of the show and in the
'Trends & Technologies' forum.

Dortmund, 18
December 2024 – Lighting is one of the key drivers of innovation in the
electrical industry, not least due to increased sustainability and efficiency
requirements. At the same time, technological progress is also creating a multitude
of new possibilities, with lighting no longer being merely functional, but
aiding personal well-being and productivity, and helping cut energy costs and
CO2 emissions by means of connectivity among modern buildings and cities. This
is because lighting accounts for around 85% of electricity consumed by
buildings equipment in industrial bays, retail spaces, public buildings and
other premises. This creates an attractive market – which in turn brings forth
large numbers of new products. As a result, the range of lighting products in
the buildings technology sector is growing, and Messe Dortmund wants to reflect
this at elektrotechnik between 12 and 14 February 2025, pressing Hall 7 into
service to join Hall 4 as – for the first time – a second hall focusing on
lighting equipment. Numerous exhibitors will be presenting a wide range of
innovations – from smart lighting control systems to solutions combining energy
efficiency, automation and modern aesthetics. The varied content of the
supporting programme will complement the exhibitors' presentations and provide
practical knowledge on norms, standards and technological advances. The content
is aimed at specialists in architectural and engineering consultancies, the
electrical trade, facility management and the housing industry. The content is
of use to everyone – from architects and planners who use lighting as design
features, to the electrical trade, and end users such as the housing sector as
well as people in manufacturing industry and facility managers responsible for
operation and maintenance.
Lighting
technology – an integral part of the supporting programme The Dortmund Lighting
Day on
Day 2 of the
show is a much-appreciated highlight and will be held for the 11th time in
2025. The event is once again being organised by the Ruhr Lighting Equipment
Society (LTGR) in partnership with FEH.NRW. This respected and popular event
will offer interested parties a compact overview of current developments and
challenges in the lighting industry between 10:00 and 13:00 hrs on 13 February.
Experienced and knowledgeable speakers from leading businesses will present the
latest findings and experiences on topics of practical relevance. “LTGR, which
celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2025, recognises clearly the ever-growing
importance of the lighting market – for domestic industry and for users.
Lighting and digitalisation are progressing hand in hand and making a
significant contribution to greater energy efficiency, higher productivity,
cost reductions and a greater sense of well-being – whether at work, at home or
in public spaces. To make this knowledge accessible to all relevant players,
we're organising the Dortmund Lighting Day for the eleventh time this year,
once again in partnership with FEH.NRW. We are proud of what we've achieved
together and look forward to continuing to offer participants great benefits in
the form of up-to-date knowledge and practice-minded insights,” commented LTGR
Chairman Friedrich Wilhelm Bremecker.
This series
of talks will take an in-depth look at various aspects of lighting technology,
covering topics such as standards, the phasing-out of incandescent bulbs,
lighting control automation and the DALI-2 standard. By way of example, Kai
Bienkowski (TRILUX) will present changes to DIN EN 12464-2 for lighting outdoor
workspaces, focussing on new illuminance levels and relevant application
tables, while Friedrich Wilhelm Bremecker (DIAL GmbH and LTGR) and Jochen
Kowitz (Graphisoft DDS CAD) will show how the BIM process can make electrical planning
more efficient, including data transfer between DDS CAD and DIALux. Light and
lighting equipment will also play a major role in Friday's Trends &
Technologies forum – a series being held as part of the Buildings Technology
Forum on all three days of the show between 10:00 and 12:30 hrs in Hall 3
(3.E30). Tobias Lucas, Sales Manager, Project Development at ESYLUX, will
introduce the audience to 'Energy-efficient lighting control with DALI-2',
while Kai Bienkowski, Deputy Academy Manager, Germany and speaker at the TRILUX
Academy, will offer information on 'Refurbishment of lighting systems'.
Big-name
exhibitors of innovative lighting solutions
The growing
interest in lighting within the buildings technology segment is also reflected
in the sheer number and variety of exhibitors, with well-known companies such
as TRILUX, Brumberg Leuchten, Ledvance, BEGA Gantenbrink-Leuchten, RZB and SG
Leuchten, Signify, Glamox, RIDI Leuchten and Zumtobel Lighting in attendance.
“elektrotechnik 2025 is an important event for us to share our latest lighting
solutions and innovations directly with customers and partners in person,” said
Michael Blum, Managing Director of TRILUX Vertrieb GmbH. “We're setting new
standards, especially in terms of sustainability and smart lighting
technologies. We look forward to providing fascinating insights into our new
YONOS, RAIL, E-LINE PRO and OSIDO developments for office, industrial and
outdoor applications at elektrotechnik in Dortmund, and to aiding dialogue with
experts in the industry.”

ELEKTROTECHNIK
– TRADE FAIR FOR BUILDING SERVICES, INDUSTRIAL, ENERGY AND LIGHTING APPLICATIONS.
For over 50 years, elektrotechnik has had its finger on the pulse as a central meeting place for the industry. This trend-setting fair, held every two years at Dortmund Exhibition Centre, creates an attractive marketplace for manufacturers, wholesalers, service providers and tradespeople, and for those engaged in research and development. Rarely before has the industry been changing as quickly and rapidly as it is now – in times of digitalisation, the Smart Factory and Smart Home revolutions, and given the increasing overlap between manufacturers and tradespeople. These are changes that the fair takes into account, with (among other things) its key emphasis on building, lighting and power management equipment, and industrial technology.
