The Industrial Lighting Expo (IL EXPO) is the leading trade fair for industrial lighting technologies in the Middle East. Held annually at the Dhahran International Exhibitions Center in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, the event serves as a key innovation hub for intelligent, safe, and sustainable lighting solutions in industrial applications.

Organized by Aldrich International, a globally experienced trade show organizer, IL EXPO is specifically designed for professionals in heavy industry, energy, oil and gas, plant engineering, and facility management. The focus is on advanced lighting systems—from explosion-proof floodlights for hazardous areas to IoT-enabled luminaires with energy-efficient controls.

As the only event of its kind in the region, IL EXPO offers a highly targeted overview of the latest developments in industrial lighting technology. Featured innovations include smart edge devices, solar-powered battery systems, LED retrofit modules, and integrated control and maintenance solutions. Key topics range from rapid prototyping and product development to energy optimization technologies such as DALI-2, Power over Ethernet, and hybrid solar-wind systems, as well as emergency and safety lighting for critical infrastructure.

The expo positions itself not only as a showcase but also as a catalyst for technological advancement in the region—aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The choice of Dammam as the host city underscores the strategic importance of the Eastern Province as an economic powerhouse and gateway to the oil and gas sector.

A highlight of IL EXPO is the live demonstration of intelligent lighting systems and interactive expert forums. The program also features practical solutions such as high-mast maintenance systems, modular panel installations, and automated battery swap stations—tailored for the demands of large-scale industrial environments.

Exhibitors represent sectors including electrical engineering, lighting technology, building management, plant construction, and renewable energy. Visitors include engineers, project managers, industrial facility operators, facility managers, and public-sector decision-makers.

The Dhahran International Exhibitions Center stands out for its modern infrastructure, proximity to King Fahd International Airport, and excellent access to nearby industrial zones.
