About Light + Building 2026

Light + Building 2026 is a trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany.

Light + Building is the world's leading trade fair for lighting and building-services technology, held every two years at Messe Frankfurt. The 2026 edition runs 8-13 March 2026 under the motto "Be Electrified". Organised by Messe Frankfurt, it gathers around 2,200 exhibitors and draws close to 200,000 visitors, bringing together lighting, electrical engineering, home and building automation and connected-building technology in one place.

Light + Building is, by definition, a fair where lighting is the product, so its stands are among the most technically demanding to build. Lighting manufacturers use their stands as controlled environments to demonstrate fixtures, colour temperature, controls and effects, which means blackout structures, high-specification electrical supply, dimming and control integration and careful management of ambient light between neighbouring stands. Building-automation exhibitors add live system demonstrations with their own power and data needs.

The fair spreads across the Frankfurt grounds organised by discipline, from decorative and technical lighting to electrical installation and building automation, so hall placement relative to a company's segment matters. The electrical and control requirements of lighting stands are heavier than a typical exhibition build, and Messe Frankfurt's technical rules on power and rigging apply throughout. Given this, exhibitors confirm stand design, electrical planning and hall placement well in advance.

For companies exhibiting at Light + Building, a builder with Frankfurt and Messe Frankfurt experience is a real advantage: lighting stands demand specialist electrical and blackout construction, and local knowledge of the venue's power provisioning, rigging sign-off and approved contractors reduces risk during one of the most technically involved builds in the calendar.
