This week the second Switched on London event will be lighting up famous landmarks and buildings in the area roughly between London Bridge and Tower Bridge to show how environmentally friendly and sustainable lighting can be used to light up major buildings and why its important to for cities to be lit even if people are worried about CO2 emissions.
The project runs from 7-14 February and brings teams of leading lighting designers and manufacturers together to come up with innovative and energy efficient lighting schemes. There are sixteen locations that will be lit up during the duration of the event including the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, HMS Belfast, Hays Galleria, Southwark Cathedral and the Design Museum. Each will be audited for the energy used and the environmental impact with the lights turned on from 6pm-midnight each day.
