The Lighting Detectives main goal is to observe, detect, and gather as many experiences to understand lighting culture on a deeper level. Starting from an early age, we want to be involved in the education of the younger generation on the culture of light. Through play and real experiences children can discover endless possibilities with light and its equally important other half, dark.
