Lighting technology is continually improving which is fantastic news for the profession and the places where lighting is used. However, wastage of fully functioning lighting equipment that still has many years of life (and also can’t be sold) needs to be addressed.This is where Re:lit has it’s role to play where we work with manufacturers to take superseded, damaged and ex-demo lighting off their shelves and put it to good use in community lighting design projects that save energy and more importantly encourage spaces to be shared, with our overall aim to bring people and groups together.For places that need a bit of love and the use of light to create something beautiful and sustainable are the principals that we work to. Our work and time provided for the selected projects is free and the reason we’re doing this is that there is so much space that can be used better for people to enjoy and feel part of.http://relitproject.co.uk/
