LightCycle is Back!

Electrolight has been consistently involved in grass-roots, community lighting initiatives throughout our ten-year company history.  We have organised events that promote lighting design to the wider design community and beyond through talks, participatory events, festivals and exhibitions.

The most prominent of these events has been out LightCycle competition in which participants are given a lighting kit and invited to design a light fixture that embodies the principles of environmental sustainability. In the past the entry kit has ranged from a fluorescent lamp through to early and more advanced LED products. This year, the entry kit is a light engine from Xicato, one of the most advanced LED equipment manufacturers in the world. Not only do we have the Xicato engine, the kit comes with a range of reflectors and accessories.  The only thing that’s missing is your creativity and handiwork in turning this into a thing of beauty!

This year’s event will be held in association with Melbourne Indesign; Australia’s go-to event for design lovers which showcases the best in new products and talent in architecture and design.  Entries will be judged and displayed at the fabulous Second Story studios in Collingwood on Wednesday 20 August.
