What Is LumiBat?
vende om is France’s leading lighting exhibition, held at Eurexpo Lyon. Organised by a French exhibition company and run in partnership with major lighting media, the show brings together manufacturers, importers, designers, specifiers and contractors from France, Southern Europe and the Francophone world.
Lyon — known as the “lighting capital of Europe” — is famous for its world-leading urban lighting management and technology. LumiBat sits right in that ecosystem: a B2B trade-only event covering commercial, architectural, residential and outdoor lighting. It is open only to industry professionals; consumers and visitors under 18 are not admitted.

Tip
Show dates and floor plans change every year. Confirm the exact dates, opening hours and free-entry requirements on the official Eurexpo website før du bestiller rejse.
Historically the show has covered around 11,000 m² with hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of professional visitors, making it the single best place in France to see the full lighting supply chain under one roof.
Why the French Lighting Market Matters
France is one of Europe’s most demanding and design-conscious lighting markets. Several structural drivers make it worth your attention:
Strict energy regulations
France’s RT 2012 and RE2020 building codes set some of Europe’s strictest energy-efficiency requirements — high-efficacy LED strips and drivers are mandatory for new projects.
Design-led culture
French architects and designers care about aesthetics, CRI and optical quality as much as price. High-CRI and tunable-white systems sell well.
Francophone gateway
From Lyon, importers distribute to France, Belgium, Switzerland, North Africa and the Middle East — a single hub for the entire Francophone market.
Urban lighting expertise
Lyon invented modern urban decorative lighting (Fête des Lumières). The city’s specifiers are world leaders in façade and public-space lighting.
Hvem skal deltage
LumiBat is most useful if you are:
- Belysningsimportører og -distributører — looking for OEM/ODM brands, private-label programs and factory-direct pricing for the French and Francophone market.
- El-grossister — sourcing SKUs with CE/RoHS compliance and reliable lead times for the French installation trade.
- Arkitekter og lysdesignere — specifying LED strips, profiles and linear systems for commercial, residential and urban projects.
- Contractors and project buyers — comparing complete systems for large tenders across France and neighbouring Francophone countries.
- Brand ejere — Scouting af kontraktproducenter og benchmarking af produktkvalitet og priser fra kinesiske udstillere.
Sådan forbereder du dig som køber
Walking the show cold wastes three days. Before you fly to Lyon:
1. Definer din projektliste
List the projects you are quoting — office fit-outs, retail chains, residential refurbishments — and the technical specs each needs (voltage, CRI, IP rating, CCT, control protocol).
2. Pre-book meetings
Email the suppliers you want to see weeks in advance. Bring samples, drawings, target quantities and your target price range — booth time is limited.
3. Sammenlign overensstemmelsesdokumenter
For the French/EU market, ask every booth for CE Declaration, RoHS, and (for projects) IES photometric files, LM-79 reports and IEC 62471 blue-light safety reports.
4. Gå direkte til kilden efter showet
Mærker på udstillingsgulvet stiger typisk 30-60 %. De samme produkter fremstilles normalt af kinesiske OEM-fabrikker. Tag billeder, varenumre og kataloger — kontakt derefter fabrikken direkte.
Why Source LED Lighting from China (and Why Lightstec Makes Sense for France)
Most of the lighting brands you will meet at LumiBat are designed in Europe but manufactured in China. Working directly with the factory cuts out the middleman and gives you shorter lead times, customisation and private-label flexibility.
Lightstec er en Kina-baseret producent af LED strip lys, LED aluminiumsprofiler, LED lineære lys, LED neon flex and matching drivers and sensors, with over 13 years of experience shipping to France and the wider European market.
