LIGHTING DAYS 2024
November 20th to 22nd 2024, Stockholm
The move away from fluorescent tubes emphasises the need to prioritise human needs, redefining illumination for a healthier, more sustainable future.
Architects, light designers, real estate owners and installers converged to discuss human-centric lighting, energy efficiency, design aesthetics, healthcare applications and strategies for navigating this transformative shift.
The Swedish Energy Agency arranged LIGHTING DAYS 2024, in collaboration with Konstfack (University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm) and the Light Collaboration Network.
LIGHTING DAYS 2024 was free to attend and will be held on the Konstfack campus.
