New products, big excitement for Lightovations

Lightovation — Dallas International Lighting Show, the largest residential lighting trade event in North America, extended its leadership position and deepened connections between buyers and sellers while welcoming a record number of attendees to its most recent show at Dallas Market Center. The January event saw an increase in attendance by retail decision makers over last year, including a 22% increase in new buyers attending from the U.S.

During the five day event, buyers representing leading retail showrooms from throughout the western hemisphere reviewed a comprehensive collection of new products including the latest designs and technology across more than 1 million square feet dedicated to lighting.

New and expanded showrooms included Eurofase, Sonneman, Varaluz, Kuzco Lighting, Alora Lighting, Fanimation, and Big Ass Fans. Nine new exhibitors and one expansion filled out the Spectrum shared showroom. In the Interior Home + Design Center, Visual Comfort Group increased its presence with an expansion in Taylors and a new Generation Lighting showroom.

“Each January we create a dynamic intersection of commerce, innovation, and inspiration,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “While setting a new benchmark for attendance we also delivered the complete experience.”

Dallas Market Center serves retailers and interior designers from all 50 states and 85 countries. To make plans for upcoming markets, visit the Dallas Market Center website
