***LIGHT + BUILDING 2016 SHOW REVIEW***
FEILO SYLVANIA HAILS LIGHT + BUILDING 2016 A HUGE SUCCESS
United Together, Winning Together
Feilo Sylvania made its official debut at this year’s Light + Building 2016 (Frankfurt, 13-18 March
2016) to much success. The booth brought in more customers than ever before and was packed full
of innovative products from Feilo, Concord, Lumiance and Sylvania along with ground-breaking
lighting control solutions from partners Organic Response, Casambi and Gooee.
Christian Schraft, Global CEO Feilo Sylvania, comments, “The response we received at Light +
Building 2016 was fantastic. We had a positive reaction not only to the booth itself, but also to the
news of the acquisition of Havells Sylvania by Shanghai Feilo Acoustics. Working with Shanghai Feilo
Acoustics gives us the opportunity to showcase our dynamism and entrepreneurial culture as well as
providing stability, access to a wealth of resources and expertise. Visitors to the booth were able to
learn all about Feilo Sylvania solutions and it allowed us to introduce the new company to a wider
audience. We are proud to be Feilo Sylvania and are looking forward to a bright future.”
“We were delighted with the quality of visitors to our booth, we had a number of productive
conversations with high-level decision makers who were very interested in our innovative lighting
solutions,” says Simon Reed, VP Sales & Marketing EMEA at Feilo Sylvania. “It’s great to see the
market responding so positively to our product portfolio, and what we can offer forward-thinking
end users who are looking for smart, high quality lighting solutions. With the latest integrated
technology from our partners Organic Response and Casambi, as well as brand new products from
our existing brands Concord, Lumiance and Sylvania, we think 2016 is going to be a very exciting year
for Feilo Sylvania!”
Feilo Sylvania’s booth highlighted a range of innovative solutions, divided into key application areas
– Offices, Logistics & Industry, Museums & Galleries, Retail, Hospitality & Residential and Smart
Outdoor Lighting – and illustrating the strength of the Feilo Sylvania brands and its partners. There
were also state-of-the-art control solutions on show, including the new Portal from Organic
Response that transforms a lighting control system into the eyes and ears of the smart-building via
an easy to use web platform. The portal’s capabilities were put to good use by generating live heatmapping data from the stand, which was then streamed to a large screen for all to see. This proved
extremely popular with visitors and even allowed Feilo Sylvania to adapt its booth content after
reviewing the data collected after the first day.
Visitors also learned more about the new Feilo Sylvania and Casambi luminaires, which have
integrated Bluetooth technology to enable easy control and the creation of a mesh network,
allowing luminaires to communicate with each other and act together to form more complex scenes
and offer new services. Casambi’s beacon functionality makes it possible for retailers to send
personalised discount vouchers to their customers based on their location in the store (and this
works even when a mobile phone is on standby in a pocket) or, to help people navigate a museum
and trigger multimedia content to play on their smartphone based on their location.
