LED lighting technology has come a long way since its inception in the 1960s. 

Today, it is revolutionizing the live events industry, offering a range of solutions that were unimaginable just a few years ago. LED technology is not only energy-efficient but also versatile and creative, allowing event planners, exhibitors, associations and trade show organizers to transform event spaces in new and exciting ways.
