How does optics translate from theory to real‑world lighting solutions? Our visit to Signify gave MasterPlus students an inside look at how cutting‑edge optical design is applied at scale, offering direct exposure to industrial innovation at the heart of the photonics ecosystem.
MasterPlus Optics & Photonics students recently visited Signify at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven for an inspiring afternoon immersed in real‑world lighting innovation. During the visit, students explored Signify’s Lighting Application Centre (LAC) and LTCE facilities, gaining hands‑on insights into how optics shapes modern lighting solutions.
The programme included an expert presentation on non‑imaging optics for lighting applications, offering a deep dive into the technologies behind efficient and intelligent light systems. The afternoon concluded with informal networking over drinks, giving students the opportunity to connect directly with professionals working at the forefront of the industry.
This visit perfectly reflects the MasterPlus philosophy: bringing students into direct contact with the photonics ecosystem and bridging academic knowledge with industrial practice.
