Guerrilla Lighting

Comes to Mumbai

A fun experiment to outline the

intelligent use of lights in our
environment.
 How it works
Under the guidance of a team leader, each member will take
part in creating transient lighting designs by using high
powered torches, battery powered LED lights, luminous dot
lights and an array of gels and filters.

Instructed to be in a specific position and at a given distance

from their target, the teams will simultaneously light up
various aspects of the architecture on cue at a specified
time, creating a dramatic spectacle.

The installation will be photographed,

the lighting turned off and then the team will move on.
 The History of the Movement

Started in Europe in 2007.

The manifesto of the group of young individuals is to declare war

on "bad lighting" and "wasteful use of light“. The movement has
illuminated buildings across Europe to show how a more artistic use
of light can breathe new life into cities.

Groups of volunteers have demonstrated how to increase the

emotional quotient of lighting in different cities around the world.

 Environmental damage due to poor lighting
Excessive use of light causes a lot of environmental damage, for example,
• It harm’s people’s quality of life.
• It can disturb sleep patterns.
• It interferes with our view of the night sky.
• Wasting energy is a waste of resources and money.

 Equipment for play
• The equipment required to achieve this goal is very
economical and sustainable
• Torches are going to be used to light the canvas.
• There is no limit to sizes and brightness.
• Colour Gels can be attached to the torches to give
them different hues.

 The PLAN and FLOW
Several days before the event the site is visited and the targets are
selected. From experience we suggest that this happens at least two
weeks in advance of the event to give enough time to design, test and
refine the designs

– 4 Lighting leaders will lead the event

– Guerrillas (Participants) will be divided in multiple teams and briefed
about each site and how we shall light it.
– Bring at least 2 torches of your choice for the event.
– We test the lights for a short time. (15-20 minutes)
– On a specified time or callout – all lights are turned on and the effect
is documented. Bring along your friends and cameras!
– Pictures are shared and next date is announced via email or SMS.
– DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE FUN! Spread the word.
