What Is Electronist ELEX?
ELEX electrician is Turkey’s leading lighting and electronics exhibition, held annually at the Istanbul Expo Center / DTM World Trade Center. Run together with Turkey’s largest LED lighting exhibition, it is the most influential trade show in Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, West Asia and North Africa.
The show covers lighting, LEDs, optoelectronics, displays and electronic components — making it the single best place to see both the finished lighting market and the supply chain behind it. It is a B2B commercia solum eventu: consumptores et visitatores sub 18 non admittuntur, nec venditiones exstant in situ.

Why the Turkish Lighting Market Matters
Turkey sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and is one of the fastest-growing lighting markets in the wider region. Several structural drivers make it worth your attention:
Manufacturing boom
Turkey’s manufacturing sector has grown rapidly. Local assembly plants need LEDs, strips, profiles and drivers at competitive prices — direct-from-factory sourcing is in high demand.
Regional distribution hub
From Istanbul, Turkish importers distribute to the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa and Eastern Europe — a single hub for a huge, fast-growing market.
Construction & retail growth
Infrastructure, commercial and retail construction across Turkey drives steady demand for LED strips, profiles and architectural lighting.
Price-sensitive, quality-conscious
Turkish buyers are highly price-sensitive but increasingly demand certified, reliable products. Factories that can offer CE/RoHS and honest specs win the order.
