We've made lighting design Child’s Play

Keeping kids busy during the holidays — and helping them understand how lighting shapes everyday life.


At lightmatters®, we spend our days thinking about how light affects how people feel, behave, and experience a space. During the holidays, we decided to explain that idea in the simplest way possible — by turning lighting design into something children can explore, colour, and play with.

This is the first in a new lightmatters® series that uses simple illustrations and short explanations to show how lighting quietly influences the world around us.
