We are at Light+Building 2026 with a specific goal: to recount the evolution of the role of light in contemporary spaces.
No longer just a technical element, but an infrastructure capable of integrating functions, adapting to contexts and responding to the increasingly complex needs of cities.
Alongside the multifunctional solutions and intelligent systems presented for 2026, we have also dedicated a central space to materials.
Because innovation means designing advanced systems, but also choosing materials that are capable of lasting, transforming over time and becoming an integral part of architecture.
A transition involving vision, technology and matter
Shifting the future of light
Shifting the future of light is the direction we have chosen to take.
A shift that affects the way light is conceived, designed and used: from an isolated product to an integrated, intelligent and measurable system.
But this change is not just about technology. It also concerns build quality, material culture and permanence.
At Light+Building, this vision took shape through modular and multifunctional solutions for urban spaces; systems capable of integrating control, sensors and dynamic management; a collection in solid bronze turned from BRAL, designed as a coherent set of elements in dialogue with architecture over time.
Light+Building is always an important opportunity to meet.
Designers, partners, customers and system integrators share their thoughts, needs and visions with us.
The conversations confirm that the direction is clear:
today, lighting is required to evolve alongside the city, but also to remain, to endure, to become part of the space by responding to people's needs.
This vision took shape in the solutions we presented at the trade fair.
Matter that becomes light
Alongside multifunctional systems and smart solutions, we have dedicated a central space to the Bronze Collection.
Because innovation is not just about digital control and technological integration. It also means choosing materials that can last, evolve and interact with architecture over time.
The collection is born from the whole. Each lighting fixture is turned in BRAL, a bronze-aluminium alloy selected for its resistance to corrosion and the most demanding outdoor environments.
The material is not a coating: it is structure.
The Bronze Collection brings together projectors, wall lights, recessed lights and step lights in a coherent material language, where technology and craftsmanship coexist in balance.
In a context dominated by the speed of innovation, we have chosen to focus on durability as well.
Uniform distribution for public spaces
The Shift Pro Rotosymmetric version highlighted another key issue: diffused light quality, downward emission control, visual comfort and compliance with light pollution regulations.
The 180° or 360° distribution ensures uniformity and safety around the pole, creating a continuous and legible light presence in public spaces.
But the rotosymmetric version is not just a lighting solution: it can be integrated with the same multifunctional heads as the Shift Pro system. Camera, acoustic diffuser, Wi-Fi provision, IP65 electrical socket and additional modules coexist in a single vertical structure, combining uniform light and smart functions in a coherent system.
A concrete response for squares and urban spaces that require lighting quality, technological integration and formal consistency.
Multifunctional integration
With Shift Pro, we have demonstrated the evolution of a system that, compared to the previous edition, further expands its application possibilities.
The new galvanised iron pole, reinforced and designed to ensure excellent structural stability, can support up to five heads. This allows you to configure a truly multifunctional element, capable of integrating lighting with different beams, a video surveillance camera, an acoustic diffuser, Wi-Fi provision and an IP65 electrical socket into a single vertical structure.
Not a simple superimposition of devices, but a coherent and modular system, designed to meet different needs – from large public spaces to private contexts – ensuring safety, solidity and high performance.
Shift Pro thus becomes an infrastructural platform capable of covering multiple functions with a single element, reducing fragmentation and increasing design efficiency.
Efficiency and route optimisation
With Any-Way, we have introduced a type of luminaire that was missing from the Simes portfolio: an essential element in design, but developed to offer very high performance and cover long distances.
It is a complete family — bollard, tall bollard and post — designed to illuminate pedestrian and cycle paths with high-efficiency asymmetrical optics, maintaining formalism and architectural sobriety.
Performance is its real strength: in the pole versions, Any-Way allows spacing of up to 20 metres, reducing the number of fixtures required and optimising the entire system.
Fewer elements, more luminous continuity, greater design efficiency.
Smart lighting and dynamic management
With Field, we have explored the theme of light as an adaptive system.
Not only controlled light distribution — available in 180° and 360° versions to limit upward dispersion — but also the integration of smart functions capable of reacting to the actual use of space.
The SENSOR version introduces a Master/Slave system that can be programmed via an app, allowing you to adjust intensity, activation times and standby levels. The light increases when movement is detected and automatically reduces when the space becomes inactive, optimising consumption and the life of the fixtures.
Alongside this, the PLUG version integrates an IP65 electrical socket, transforming the light point into an infrastructure that can also be used to power outdoor devices. Field is not just a lighting fixture, but an element capable of adapting, measuring and responding.
A concrete step towards a more responsible, efficient and truly intelligent urban space.
Precision on a small scale
With Nanopointer, the latest evolution in the Pointer family for 2026, we have introduced an extremely compact precision light, designed for specific applications and architectural projects that require millimetric control.
It is the smallest projector in the range, but offers high light quality: a superspot beam as standard, interchangeable filters to modulate the aperture and precisely adapt the output to the project requirements.
Nanopointer reinforces the miniaturisation of the Pointer family, which now ranges from maximum compactness to the most advanced solutions such as Minipointer with Digital Beam technology, capable of dynamically adjusting the beam using a liquid crystal optical system.
A complete range that interprets precision lighting as a measurable, controllable element that can be perfectly integrated into architecture.
Let's continue on our journey
Light+Building is an opportunity for discussion and shared vision. But the journey does not end at the trade fair.
The solutions presented – from multifunctional integration to intelligent light management – are collected in the new 2026 New Products Brochure, where we explore concepts, applications and technical features in depth.
