For those of you with a particular interest in lighting we urge you to take a trip to London for Lux Live 2013 at Earls Court London on 20th and 21st November. It’s the UK’s biggest lighting show and, in addition to over 150 stands, there are over 50 hours of talks, debates and seminars to attend. Voltimum is on stand H30 and we are also doing a Q&A session with our Expert Panel on Lighting at 9.45am on Wednesday, 20th November. Earls Court is an easy tube ride from Heathrow on the Piccadilly Line so it is a very feasible one-day outing – and the show is open until 9.00pm on the 20th November.
