Pharos Architectural Controls will return to LiGHT this November to give visitors a first look at what it describes as the most significant development to its Pharos Designer software in recent years. The event will take place at the Business Design Centre in London on 18 and 19 November, with Pharos exhibiting on Stand 43.
LiGHT 26 will bring the architectural lighting community together for two days of products, technologies, talks and industry discussion. Pharos will use the show to demonstrate how forthcoming features are intended to open new creative possibilities in dynamic lighting control. Full details of the announcement are being withheld until the event.
Pharos Designer is a dynamic lighting control solution for architectural, themed and entertainment environments. The company says its programming and integration capabilities allow designers to create lighting experiences across individual spaces and buildings as well as large-scale connected installations.
What visitors can expect
According to Pharos, the new capabilities will give designers greater control over lighting effects, interactivity and colour. The developments are focused on moving dynamic lighting beyond fixed scenes and predetermined sequences, providing ways to create lighting that is more responsive, adaptable and engaging.
The company says the next evolution of Designer will build on these capabilities and create opportunities for lighting to respond more dynamically to its environment and evolve in real time. Rather than only previewing technology, the Pharos stand is intended to let visitors experience what the forthcoming creative and practical capabilities mean for dynamic lighting design in practice. The Pharos team will be available throughout the exhibition to answer questions and discuss how the technology can support designers working on responsive and immersive environments.
Company view
Michael Crilly, senior product manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, said LiGHT has long been an opportunity to meet the architectural lighting community, but this year the company has something particularly exciting to share. He said Pharos has been working on something new for some time and that the changes to Designer are intended to unlock new creative possibilities for dynamic lighting. He added that visitors will be among the first to experience what the next evolution of Designer can do.
Marco Caamano, marketing manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, described the show as a significant moment for the company and said a large amount of work has been taking place behind the scenes. He said LiGHT will be one of the first opportunities to see the developments in action and to understand what they offer designers creatively. He added that the stand will be relevant to those who work with Pharos, specify dynamic lighting control or want to see where the technology is heading next.
Pharos will also exhibit concurrently at IAAPA in Orlando, giving customers in the United States an opportunity to discover what is new. The company has not disclosed further technical details, availability or a release date for the forthcoming Designer developments.
