Park Light is an annual event run by the Lighting Society in the ACT for the local design community. Park Light is a ‘guerrilla lighting’ style event where groups of designers produce temporary creative lighting installations at an interesting outdoor site. Participants often include lighting designers, electrical engineers, lighting sales reps, architects, interior designers, landscape architects and students, making it a valuable cross-discipline creative exercise. Every Park Light event surprises with the high quality and creativity of the installations, and highlights the powerful impact that creative lighting design can have on the public realm.
