The center of the light

In 2025, Sauerland will once again welcome thousands of professionals from all over the world as a fixed meeting point for the European lighting trade. In the week from February 16 to 21, players from the wholesale, specialist and retail sectors can expect not only outstanding products and collections, but also many profitable discussions and collaborations. “It is the highlight of our industry every year and for me personally it is an honor and a pleasure to accompany the 20th edition,” says Philipp Müller, entrepreneur and one of the two spokespersons for Lichtwoche Sauerland 2025. Michael Kossmann, also an entrepreneur and co-spokesperson for the event, adds: ‘We have given a lot of thought to how we can make our customers’ stay even more pleasant and profitable.” While retaining the basic concept, which has now been tried and tested for the 13th time, there has been no shortage of highlights. “This year, we will be marking our light region with an exceptionally powerful laser beam every evening of the Light Week,” says Müller. “With this extraordinary campaign, we want to make it uniquely clear that this is the center of light. The green beam of the Lichtwoche Sauerland will reach over 10 kilometers into the air and be visible from afar,” emphasizes Michael Kossmann. Dennis Köhler, who implemented this special campaign, is delighted with the exceptional recognition: “Where, if not here? Nowhere else do so many companies in the lighting and luminaire industry have their home as in the Sauerland.”

Nevertheless, the main players at Lichtwoche Sauerland are the focus of interest: the many new lamps, luminaires, LED strips and control systems for decorative and domestic lighting. One of the many dominant questions: Where are the trends heading? “The decorative lighting sector caters to the most diverse preferences and fulfills almost every wish in terms of materials, colors and shapes. And of course we follow the trends in interior design styles. Nevertheless, these are also products that are often permanently installed on ceilings or walls and therefore have to offer timeless design,” says Philipp Müller. Michael Kossmann also recalls the rapid development of recent years: “LED is versatile and today almost naturally offers us countless advantages for creating pleasant atmospheres within our own four walls. However, the possibilities of LED are still relatively new in history. Twenty years ago, there were no significant LED trends on the market.” This year's Lichtwoche Sauerland will once again present the latest variants of LED technology in their most beautiful designs and innovative concepts. The industry is looking forward to an intensive week of exchange and welcomes all visitors to the center of light.
