Munich, November 11, 2026
The FindLight team has landed in Munich for electronica 2026, one of the world’s largest trade fairs for electronics. We’re here to meet suppliers and partners and to see what’s next in photonics, optoelectronics, and the components around them.
Meeting the makers
One early stop was the Toyo LED Electronics booth in Hall B6, where Dr. Hrant Seferyan caught up with the team. Their stand covered a lot of ground, from 3535 UV LEDs and SMD LED series (5050, 0603, and 0402 packages) to LED strips and alphanumeric LED displays. Every conversation like this helps us bring more of the light-based technology the industry builds to a global audience of buyers.
Motorsport at the connector booth
Not every booth was about LEDs and lasers. Over at LEMO, a Formula 1 car sat on a pedestal, wearing an Alfa Romeo livery and more sponsor logos than we could count. It’s a bold way to say that connectors can be exciting. We took the hint and kept our hands off the front wing.
The best demo on the show floor
Then there was the robot. Near the Nuvoton stand, a humanoid robot was putting on a full dance performance for a crowd of engineers. Engineers who spend their days staring at datasheets suddenly looked entirely satisfied.
We ran a quick, informal evaluation. Its timing was excellent, with no visible latency. Its stability held up through some ambitious squats. And it drew a bigger crowd than most of us could hope for at a booth. Our team’s coherence after three days of trade-show walking is, frankly, not at that level. We’re considering whether it has a photonics background, since it clearly has a bright future.
Say hello
We’re on the floor through the end of the show. If you’re a supplier who would like your photonics or optoelectronics products in front of global buyers, find us, or reach out through FindLight.
