Pharos Architectural Controls will return to LiGHT this November to give visitors a first look at forthcoming changes to its Pharos Designer software. The company will exhibit on Stand 43 at LiGHT 26, which takes place at the Business Design Centre in London on 18 and 19 November.
Pharos describes the development as its most significant to Pharos Designer in recent years. Full details are being withheld until the show, but the company says the new technologies and features are intended to open up creative possibilities in dynamic lighting control. Visitors can expect 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 functions are designed to support lighting experiences ranging from individual spaces and buildings to large-scale connected installations. The forthcoming developments explore how dynamic lighting can move beyond fixed scenes and predetermined sequences, making lighting more responsive, adaptable and engaging. According to Pharos, the next evolution of Designer will allow lighting to respond more dynamically to its environment and evolve in real time.
The stand will be used to demonstrate what these creative and practical capabilities mean for lighting design, rather than only previewing technical features. The Pharos team will be available to answer questions and discuss how the technology can support designers working on responsive and immersive environments. Pharos will also exhibit concurrently at IAAPA in Orlando, giving US customers another opportunity to learn about the new developments.
Michael Crilly, senior product manager at Pharos Architectural Controls, said LiGHT has long been a useful meeting point with the architectural lighting community, but this year the company has something particularly exciting to share. He said Pharos has been working on the development for some time and that the changes unlock new creative possibilities; visitors will be among the first to experience the next evolution of Designer. Marco Caamano, marketing manager, called the show a major moment for Pharos and said it would be one of the first chances to see the developments in action and understand their creative offer.
