What Is Strategies in Light?
Strategije v svetlobi is the premier LED technology and design conference and exhibition in North America, held annually in San Diego, California. Organised by PennWell — publisher of LEDs Magazine and parent of the renowned market-research firm Strategies Unlimited — it brings together LED chip makers, luminaire manufacturers, architects, engineers and design professionals from across North America and the world.
Co-sponsored by industry giants such as OSRAM and Seoul Semiconductor, the show is dedicated to the fastest-growing segment of luminaire design and LED technology. It combines the Strategije v svetlobi conference (with a 17-year history) with THE LED SHOW, covering the world’s latest LED products, new technologies and design services. It is a B2B trgovinski dogodek: Potrošniki in obiskovalci, mlajši od 18 let, niso dovoljeni, prodaja na drobno pa se ne izvaja.

Why the North American LED Technology Market Matters
North America is one of the most technology-driven LED markets in the world. Several structural drivers make it worth your attention:
Technology adoption leader
North American buyers were among the first to adopt tunable white, high-CRI, human-centric lighting and smart controls. They expect the latest technology, not just the lowest price.
Kultura stroge skladnosti
US buyers expect UL / ETL certification, FCC compliance, Energy Star listings, IES LM-79 / TM-24 reports and IES photometric files. Suppliers who can deliver win the project.
Design & specification driven
North American lighting designers and specifiers write the product into project specifications. Once specified, a product stays on the BOQ for the life of the building.
Retrofit & upgrade cycle
Millions of commercial buildings are being retrofitted from earlier LED generations to tunable white, human-centric lighting and smart controls — a steady, large-scale demand.
Kdo bi se moral udeležiti
Strategies in Light is most useful if you are:
- LED component and luminaire manufacturers — benchmarking chips, drivers, optics and thermal solutions from leading suppliers.
- Oblikovalci in oblikovalci luči — learning about new technologies, controls and design tools directly from the engineers who create them.
- Uvozniki in distributerji — looking for OEM/ODM brands, private-label programs and factory-direct pricing for the North American market.
- Electrical engineers and contractors — understanding dimming, controls and compliance for commercial projects.
- Brand owners and product managers — scouting contract manufacturers and benchmarking technology and pricing from Chinese exhibitors.
Kako se pripraviti kot kupec
Walking the show cold wastes days. Before you fly to San Diego:
1. Plan your conference schedule
The conference program is the main reason to attend. Pick the forums that match your spec — tunable white, human-centric lighting, controls, thermal management — and register early.
2. Pre-book meetings with suppliers
Tedne vnaprej pošljite e-pošto dobaviteljem, ki jih želite videti. Prinesite vzorce, risbe, ciljne količine in vaš ciljni cenovni razpon – čas razstave je omejen.
3. Primerjajte dokumente o skladnosti
For the North American market, ask every booth for UL / ETL listing, FCC compliance, IES LM-79 / TM-24 reports and IES photometric files.
4. Po predstavi pojdite naravnost do vira
Blagovne znamke na razstavnem prostoru običajno zaslužijo 30–60 %. Enake izdelke običajno izdelujejo kitajske tovarne OEM. Posnemite fotografije, številke delov in kataloge — nato se obrnite neposredno na tovarno.
Why Source LED Lighting from China (and Why Lightstec Makes Sense for North America)
