LIGHTCYCLE COMPETITION

LightCycle is a biannual sustainable light fixture design competition curated by Electrolight.

In the first LightCycle in 2007, entrants were asked to use a compact fluorescent lamp and create a light fixture that embodied the principles of environmental sustainability.  The competition was part of the 2007 Melbourne Design Festival.

In 2009 the compact fluorescent lamp was replaced by a 1m strip of LED and again entrants were asked to create a sustainable light.  The exhibition formed part of the 2009 State of Design Festival and was held at Guildford Lane Gallery in Melbourne’s CBD.
