BDP is moving its ‘Guerilla lighting campaign’ to Dublin, ahead of its specialist lighting arm's expansion into Ireland.

BDP launched the initiative, which aims to demonstrate how both the sustainability and aesthetics of urban areas can be improved by lighting design, in Manchester back in 2006.

Using high-powered torches and LED luminaires and coloured filters, guerrillas create temporary light installations within the urban architecture.

BDP Lighting designer Chantelle Stewart said: "Our Guerrilla Lighting campaign challenges perceptions of lighting in an urban environment… We're raising awareness of the potential of sustainable, intelligent lighting design by involving people in the lighting of highly recognisable, prominent locations."

Guerilla Lighting is due to hit Dublin in October.
