From Member Collaboration to Real-World Implementation of Good Light
Introduction to GLGA Members and Recent Progress
The development of healthy lighting cannot remain limited to concepts, slogans, or isolated products. It requires participation across the entire ecosystem — scientists, standards organizations, LED source manufacturers, luminaire companies, control system providers, designers, application scenario owners, and industry communication platforms.
The Good Light Group Asia (GLGA) is working to drive this transformation: from scientific consensus, standard interfaces, and data validation to demonstration projects and industry communication, making “good light” measurable, verifiable, designable, and implementable as a next-generation spatial infrastructure capability.
1. Why Do We Need a Collaborative Healthy Lighting Platform?
Over the past two decades, the dominant theme of the lighting industry has been energy efficiency.
From incandescent lamps to LEDs, from traditional light sources to high-efficacy chips, from standalone lighting to intelligent controls, the industry has made tremendous progress in efficiency, cost, scale, and supply chain capabilities.
But today, we are entering a new phase. Light is no longer only about illuminating spaces; it is redefining the relationship between people and environments.
Across offices, education, healthcare, wellness, hospitality, residential, commercial, and urban environments, more stakeholders are asking:
- How can visual comfort be validated?
- How can circadian rhythm and sleep be designed through lighting?
- How are mood, focus, relaxation, and recovery connected to light environments?
- Can “good light” be measured, documented, compared, and continuously optimized?
This is the direction GLGA aims to advance.
We believe healthy lighting cannot be achieved by a single company, product, standard, or conference. It requires collaboration across the entire value chain — connecting science, standards, design, manufacturing, controls, applications, and market ecosystems.
2. GLGA’s Core Value: Not Just a Membership Organization, but a Co-Creation Platform
GLGA’s objective is not simply to build a member directory. Its goal is to create a meaningful industry collaboration platform.
Its core value can be summarized in five key areas:
1. Building Consensus: Redefining “Good Light”
Healthy lighting should not remain limited to expressions such as “brighter,” “smarter,” or “more premium.”
The future of good light needs to take into account vision, circadian rhythm, comfort, emotion, context, time, and the real human experience.
Through international exchange, expert consensus, industry publications, closed-door discussions, and public communication,
GLGA hopes to establish a clearer language system and conceptual framework for the industry.
2. Advancing Standard Interfaces: Moving Healthy Light from Concept to Data
Healthy lighting development requires measurable and verifiable foundations.
GLGA is currently focused on topics such as:
- More complete spectral and α-opic data expression for LED sources and luminaires
- Integration of CIE S 026 metrics into products, design workflows, and applications
- Translating EDI / DER metrics from laboratories into engineering practice
- Potential future “HCL-ready” interfaces for luminaires, light sources, and systems
- Integration of healthy lighting data into design software and BMS / LMS systems
Our goal is not to reinvent standards, but to help the industry understand, connect, and apply existing international scientific and standards-based achievements in real products, spaces, and projects.
3. Driving Scenario Validation: Making Good Light Visible, Experiential, and Verifiable
Healthy lighting must return to real environments.
Offices, schools, hospitals, elderly care, hotels, homes, commercial spaces, and cities are not abstract scenarios. Different users, activities, schedules, materials, spectra, and control logics all influence the final experience.
GLGA is developing scenario-based validation frameworks, including:
- Spatial lighting measurements
- Spectral and illuminance data recording
- Human factors and comfort evaluation
- Scenario-based control logic design
- Demonstration projects and case studies
- Integration with WELL, healthy buildings, sleep, wellness, and education
We hope future discussions about healthy lighting will move beyond product parameters toward complete spatial, human, temporal, and application models.
4. Connecting International Resources: Bringing Asian Companies into the Global Healthy Lighting Dialogue
GLGA is connected with the international network of Good Light Group and actively promotes collaboration with global standards organizations, industry associations, design communities, scientists, and professional institutions.
Recent initiatives include:
- Supporting international discussions around Good Light Wake-up Call
- Preparing deLIGHTed Talks Asia 2026
- Connecting resources from organizations such as CIE, IES, IALD, IWBI, and GLA
- Promoting cross-disciplinary dialogue among LED manufacturers, luminaire companies, control systems, design software providers, and application stakeholders
- Organizing closed-door meetings, working groups, and demonstration showcases
Asia is one of the world’s largest lighting manufacturing regions. We should not only manufacture products — we should actively participate in shaping future standards, interfaces, application models, and industry narratives.
5. Creating Commercial Opportunities: Making Healthy Light a Sustainable Growth Engine
GLGA is not only about ideas.
We focus on how healthy lighting can help companies create: New product value, New design capabilities, New project opportunities, New market positioning.
For manufacturers, healthy lighting means transitioning from selling luminaires to delivering verifiable lighting environment capabilities.
For control system providers, it means evolving from dimming and tuning toward intelligent control logic based on people, spaces, time, and activities.
For designers, it means shifting from experience-based judgment toward data-assisted design and validation.
For building owners and application stakeholders, healthy lighting means improved space quality, user experience, brand value, and long-term operational performance.
This is the true meaning of GLGA’s collaborative ecosystem.
3. GLGA’s Member Ecosystem Is Taking Shape
As of May 14, 2026, GLGA has attracted companies and individual members from across the lighting ecosystem.
These members cover multiple areas, including LED light sources, packaging, luminaires, control systems, smart platforms, lighting design, engineering applications, health technologies, distribution channels, and industry communications.
This includes:
LED light sources, packaging, and core component manufacturers
Including Nichia Corporation, Luminus Devices, Seoul Semiconductor, Ningbo Sunpu LED Technology., Greatshine, Shen Zhen Lightspot Technology Limited., Fujian Lightning Optoelectronic Co.,Ltd., Shenzhen Guang Qing Electronics Co., Ltd., TYF, and others.
These companies form the foundational base of healthy lighting development. Future progress in spectral data, α-opic metrics, wide-gamut white light, color light recipes, specialized spectra, and next-generation LED capabilities will all depend on the involvement of upstream source manufacturers.
Lighting fixture and luminaire manufacturing companies
Including Guangdong PAK Corporation, CDN Lighting, Foshan (FSL), Gong Niu, Cettiga, Fujian Guangling Marine Technology Co., Ltd., Zhongshan Architectural Lighting Co., Ltd., Zhongshan Ours Lighting Co., Ltd.., Traxon e:cue, and Schideron, among others.
Lighting fixture companies are the key link for bringing healthy lighting into real-world markets and projects. Only when healthy lighting capabilities are embedded into product design, optical design, driver control, data labeling, and project delivery can the industry move from conceptual discussion to large-scale practical implementation.
Control, smart platform, and system integration companies
Including Tuya, Sunricher, Bersn, Lianmeng Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.., Yixing Yingtai Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., and Dose, among others.
Healthy lighting is not static illumination. It is strongly dependent on time, activity, context, and human physiological state. Therefore, control systems, sensors, intelligent platforms, and data-driven logic will become one of the core enabling capabilities for bringing healthy lighting into real-world applications.
Design, engineering, and application-driven sector players
Including Guangzhou Quanjing Lighting Design Co., Ltd., Boss, Future Lighting Design (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., and Wenzhou Enke Lighting Design Engineering Co., Ltd, among others.
Ultimately, healthy lighting must enter real spaces through design. Designers, engineering consultants, and application stakeholders serve as a critical bridge between technology and lived human experience, translating technical capabilities into meaningful spatial outcomes.
Individual members and industry partners
GLGA also welcomes individual members with professional backgrounds, research interests, industry experience, or application resources to join.
The development of healthy lighting requires not only companies, but also long-term contributions from individual experts, designers, engineers, researchers, consultants, and communicators across the industry.
4. From Membership to Working Groups: Encouraging Real Participation
GLGA is gradually establishing five major working groups:
WG-1: Consensus & International Alignment
Standards, guidelines, international organizations, and industry alignment.
WG-2: Scenario Data & Validation
Measurement methodologies, data structures, field validation, and project assessment.
WG-3: Scientific Research & Reproducibility
Research design, collaborative studies, and scientific evidence.
WG-4: Demonstration Projects & Case Studies
Real-world implementations across office, education, healthcare, hospitality, residential, and commercial applications.
WG-5: Communication & Industry Mobilization

We welcome members with different capabilities to participate at different levels of work.
Some companies can contribute to standards and data co-development; some can contribute products and application scenarios; some can participate in demonstration projects; and some can support communication and industry education.
Even companies that do not yet have R&D capacity can first join to learn, understand industry trends, and explore future opportunities for participation.
The co-building approach of GLGA is not about requiring all members to do the same thing, but about helping each company find its own appropriate role within the ecosystem.
5. Recent Key Initiatives: From “Good Light Wake-up Call” to deLIGHTed Talks Asia
In recent months, GLGA has been continuously advancing multiple initiatives focused on the industrial implementation of healthy lighting.
1. Good Light Wake-up Call: Reawakening the Industry
Good Light Wake-up Call is not a slogan.
It reminds us that the lighting industry already possesses strong manufacturing capabilities, supply chain strength, and product development capacity. However, when it comes to “real human experience,” “health value,” “validation of spatial light environments,” and “next-generation industry rules,” we still need to invest more proactively.
Good light should not remain a subjective judgment by designers, nor merely a high-end marketing term used by manufacturers.
Instead, good light should gradually become an industry capability that can be measured, validated, designed, and delivered.
2. deLIGHTed Talks Asia 2026: Building a High-Quality Dialogue Platform for Healthy Light in Asia
GLGA is currently preparing deLIGHTed Talks Asia 2026, which is planned to be held alongside the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE). The event will bring together international scientists, standards organizations, designers, manufacturers, building owners, application stakeholders, and industry partners to jointly advance high-quality dialogue on healthy lighting.
The program will include: closed-door meetings of standards and working groups, international keynote speeches, healthy lighting forums, small-circle networking sessions, HCL exhibition and demonstration scenarios, and cross-disciplinary dialogue between manufacturers, designers, building owners, and research experts.
The intention is not to create a conventional forum, but to establish a starting point for real industry collaboration.
3. HCL Zone (Healthy Lighting Exhibition Area): Bringing Concepts into Real Experience
GLGA is actively developing the Healthy Lighting Exhibition Zone, aiming to demonstrate through real-world scenarios:
- the relationship between spectral design and spatial experience
- the relationship between circadian rhythm and time control
- the relationship between white light, colored light, and emotional atmosphere
- the relationship between sensing, monitoring, and intelligent control
- the relationship between data validation and spatial design
- how products, systems, and applications can work together
Healthy lighting should not exist only in presentations or academic papers. It must enter real spaces—where it can be experienced, and where data can speak for itself.
4. LED α-opic Data and Next-Generation Product Interfaces
GLGA is currently encouraging collaboration among LED source, luminaire, and system companies to pay closer attention to α-opic data representation.
In the future, if LED sources, luminaires, control systems, and design software can better support metrics such as EDI / DER, healthy lighting design will move beyond experiential judgment and evolve toward a more complete data-driven chain.
This shift will help the industry move beyond focusing solely on luminous efficacy, CRI, and CCT, toward a more comprehensive understanding of human vision, circadian rhythm, and lived experience.
5. Wide-Gamut White Light, Colored Light, and Emotional Lighting
With the development of multi-channel LEDs, RGBW, RGBA, full-spectrum, and wide-gamut technologies, colored light and dynamic white light are becoming increasingly important directions.
However, colored light is not easy to master. It involves not only aesthetics, but also comfort, glare control, light pollution, visual adaptation, emotional response, and spatial quality.
GLGA hopes to work with capable member companies to advance research and application in colored lighting, wide-gamut white light, emotional lighting, and control logic. The goal is to avoid the industry remaining at the level of “visual spectacle,” and instead move toward more refined, restrained, and verifiable spatial light experiences.
6. Why Join GLGA Now?
Because healthy lighting is entering the early stage of industrialization.

Conclusion: Good Light Requires Collective Effort
We believe that the next stage of the lighting industry is not merely about higher efficacy, lower cost, or smarter control, but about returning more deeply to human-centered design itself.
Light shapes space, space shapes behavior, and behavior in turn influences health, emotion, efficiency, and overall quality of life.
This is why we need to rethink what “good light” truly means.
Good light is not just about brightness. Good light should be verified.
Good light is the next generation of spatial infrastructure.
Good light requires science, and it also requires industry.
Good light requires standards, and it also requires design.
Good light requires manufacturing, and it also requires real-world application scenarios.
The Good Light Group Asia (GLGA) looks forward to working with more partners to move healthy lighting from concept to practice, from practice to standards, and from standards toward a truly sustainable industrial future.
