Switched On London is London`s only Festival of Light, which will take place for the second time in the Pool of London and Bankside, 7th-14th February 2008. It aims to set a precedent that lighting in an urban environment can be achieved energy efficiently and stress the importance of lighting from a social, economic and environmental perspective.

The festival, which coincides with The ARC Show 2008, explores the essential relationship of lighting in the built environment. Switched On London's team of lighting designers will show how expert lighting design combined with utilising modern technology allows sustainable and creative lighting. The team will provide realistic alternatives to the wasteful and inefficient schemes that currently operate in London and cities worldwide.
