What Is LumiBat?
umdrehen 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.

Tipp
Show dates and floor plans change every year. Confirm the exact dates, opening hours and free-entry requirements on the official Eurexpo website vor der Reisebuchung.
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.

So bereiten Sie sich als Käufer vor
Walking the show cold wastes three days. Before you fly to Lyon:
1. Definieren Sie Ihre 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. Buchen Sie Besprechungen im Voraus
Senden Sie den Lieferanten, die Sie sehen möchten, Wochen im Voraus eine E-Mail. Bringen Sie Muster, Zeichnungen, Zielmengen und Ihre Zielpreisspanne mit – die Standzeit ist begrenzt.
3. Vergleichen Sie Compliance-Dokumente
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. Gehen Sie nach der Show direkt zur Quelle
Marken auf der Ausstellungsfläche erzielen in der Regel einen Zuschlag von 30–60 %. Die gleichen Produkte werden normalerweise von chinesischen OEM-Fabriken hergestellt. Machen Sie Fotos, Teilenummern und Kataloge – und wenden Sie sich dann direkt an das Werk.
