Lighting control specialists Pharos Architectural Controls will showcase the latest developments in their product ranges at LEDucation 2026, taking place in New York City.
Presented by the Designers Lighting Forum of New York, the annual trade show and conference provides a platform for lighting professionals to explore the latest innovations in the industry through accredited seminars, peer-led sessions and the new Designer Hours initiative.
With the Pharos Designer platform continuing to evolve, attendees will discover the latest enhancements to this highly integrated and scalable solution for complex lighting environments. The Pharos team will demonstrate developments within the Designer software, including the latest release, version 2.16, which introduces support for the new Pharos RIO 84, offering 8 inputs, 4 outputs and a multi-protocol serial port. The update will also enable native in-app integration with Advatek PixLite Mk3 controllers, fixture status monitoring for RDM-capable installations via Pharos Cloud, trigger rate limiting, and timeline improvements for audio rows.
Attendees will also learn about the latest updates to Pharos Expert, the lighting control solution designed to simplify installation and programming. Demonstrations will highlight improved user functionality that delivers greater control flexibility, including grouping capabilities that allow fixtures to be organised logically within mixed environments for targeted control via the Touch mobile app or touchscreen wall stations. Support for the Pharos RIO D4 enables systems to integrate multiple independent DALI interfaces allowing installations to support extensive luminaire counts alongside DMX output without compromising capacity
Michael Gross (MG), Regional Sales Manager for the Americas at Pharos, said: “We always look forward to exhibiting at LEDucation. The event provides an important opportunity to connect with industry peers, and we’re excited to present the latest advances in our solutions. Pharos continues to evolve, demonstrating our commitment to the future of lighting control, and our desire to give lighting professionals the flexibility they need to realise ever more ambitious projects.”
