We are thankful for the organisers to give us this platform for business.” Other companies showcasing exquisitely designed smart LED lamps and luminaries were Lafit Lighting, Smartlight, and Akhandjyot to name a few.
Amongst many solar lighting companies present at the show, companies like Hi-Way launched fully integrated solar street lights with the solar panel and street light combined in one compact design. These lights with 12-15 hours back up are now being demonstrated to local and rural government bodies to encourage the use of solar lights as street lights.
On the other hand, visitors were satisfied that the exhibitors displayed advancements in-line with the latest trends and evolutions in the Indian LED industry. The current edition also saw government officials paying a visit to the show, looking out for smart and efficient lighting alternatives.
