About the project

Every October since the year of 2000, leading lighting designers gather in Alingsås, Sweden. Throughout this time, dark evenings and outdoor environments are transformed into exciting lighting design installations. Cold and anonymous facades are transformed into warm and colorful spaces, futuristic forest lakes can acquire a whole new perspective and these oases of light provide examples of good urban lighting and make for new and attractive venues in the city.

"Lights in Alingsås" is an important international meeting point for lighting designers, students and companies. Around 75,000 people visit Lights in Alingsås each year. It has become the largest exhibition of lighting design in public spaces in Northern Europe. Following a route through the town, visitors get the rare opportunity to experience top quality architectural lighting.
