Pharos Architectural Controls will return to LiGHT 26 in London this November to give visitors a first look at significant forthcoming developments to its Pharos Designer software. The architectural lighting show will take place at the Business Design Centre on 18 and 19 November. Pharos will exhibit on Stand 43.

The company describes the update as its most significant development to Pharos Designer in recent years. Full details are being kept under wraps until the show, but Pharos says visitors can expect new capabilities offering greater control over lighting effects, interactivity and colour.

Pharos Designer is a dynamic lighting control solution for architectural, themed and entertainment environments. Its programming and integration capabilities are designed to let designers create lighting experiences across individual spaces and buildings as well as large-scale connected installations.

According to Pharos, the developments explore how dynamic lighting can move beyond fixed scenes and predetermined sequences. The aim is to give designers ways to create lighting that is more responsive, adaptable and engaging, and to show how the next evolution of Designer can respond more dynamically to its environment and evolve in real time.

The stand will not only preview features but also let visitors experience what the forthcoming creative and practical capabilities mean for dynamic lighting design. The Pharos team will be available to demonstrate the developments, answer questions and discuss how the technology can support designers working on responsive and immersive environments.

Michael Crilly, senior product manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, said the team had been working on something new for some time and was excited to share the developments at LiGHT. He said the changes to Designer unlock new creative possibilities and that visitors would be among the first to experience the next evolution.

Marco Caamano, marketing manager, said the show represents a significant step forward for Pharos Designer and a major moment for the company. Pharos will also exhibit concurrently at IAAPA in Orlando, giving US customers an opportunity to see what is new.
