LIGHT FOR HUMANS 2020 TOPICS
NEXT EDITION
FEBRUARY 25, 26 & 27, 2020 Centro Citibanamex, Mexico City
Our 2020 topics joins the
global resonance of the
industry that acknowledges the
relevance of lighting for life
itself, and the great
responsibility it entails.
Biodynamic lighting is an
experimental field that has plenty of
areas of opportunity. The basic
premise is accepting that the sunlight
cycle has a close relationship with living
organisms.
Advances in circadian biology have
caused human centric lighting to
be regarded as a necessity in the
development of products, and not
merely a marketing justification.
