What we do
Advocate
To accomplish Light Boston’s goals, it has become a strong advocate for aesthetically pleasing exterior lighting in the City of Boston. These efforts take many forms including acting as an advisor to the City of Boston and its numerous departments and foundations, and providing counsel to community groups, site owners and private industries. Light Boston acts as a catalyst bringing lighting issues into urban planning forums and raising community awareness of the benefits of well designed exterior lighting. Improving nighttime environments benefits all of our residents and helps address safety concerns while increasing civic pride in local landmarks.
Educate
Light Boston serves as an information source about exterior lighting in Boston. For the benefit of its constituents, Light Boston maintains a referral list of the region's top lighting designers and contacts in the architectural profession and the lighting manufacturing and distributing industry. Light Boston is constantly monitoring the world of lighting, especially innovative applications of exterior lighting in dense urban environments. Please contact us, and we can either provide you with the information you need or connect you with the right professional.
Illuminate
In certain instances, Light Boston will facilitate the actual illumination of historic buildings and cultural sites. Please see “Our Projects” page for examples of buildings recently illuminated with Light Boston’s direct assistance. In these cases, Light Boston has procured funding sources, lined up necessary professionals, and helped manage the lighting design and installation process. In addition to the sites identified in the Diamond Necklace Project, Light Boston is constantly looking for opportunities to assist in lighting historic and culturally significant sites in the City.
