What Is LumiBat?
faire demi-tour 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.

Conseil
Show dates and floor plans change every year. Confirm the exact dates, opening hours and free-entry requirements on the official Eurexpo website avant de réserver un voyage.
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:
Des réglementations énergétiques strictes
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.
Une culture axée sur le design
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.
Qui devrait y assister
LumiBat is most useful if you are:
- Importateurs et distributeurs d'éclairage — looking for OEM/ODM brands, private-label programs and factory-direct pricing for the French and Francophone market.
- Grossistes en électricité — sourcing SKUs with CE/RoHS compliance and reliable lead times for the French installation trade.
- Architectes et concepteurs d'éclairage — 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.
- Propriétaires de marques — rechercher des fabricants sous contrat et comparer la qualité et les prix des produits des exposants chinois.
Comment se préparer en tant qu'acheteur
Walking the show cold wastes three days. Before you fly to Lyon:
1. Définissez votre liste de projets
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. Pré-réservation des réunions
Envoyez un e-mail aux fournisseurs que vous souhaitez voir des semaines à l'avance. Apportez des échantillons, des dessins, des quantités cibles et votre fourchette de prix cible – la durée du stand est limitée.
3. Comparez les documents de conformité
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. Allez directement à la source après le spectacle
Les marques présentes sur le salon obtiennent généralement une majoration de 30 à 60 %. Les mêmes produits sont généralement fabriqués par des usines OEM chinoises. Prenez des photos, des numéros de pièces et des catalogues, puis contactez directement l'usine.
Why Source LED Lighting from China (and Why Lightstec Makes Sense for France)
