Lighting design for Freya Skye’s incredible debut “Stars Align” tour - now playing across North America ahead of the UK next month. Great to work with our friends at @weareblackskull as always!
Sonic Neon is open now as part of the Sharjah Light Festival in the United Arab Emirates. We’re excited to be back at the festival and to welcome guests inside our immersive 90s rave - featuring thousands of individual light sources including our iconic UV-reactive boom box.
Many thanks to our friends at @picoemea for the collab!

Vector Lights is celebrating the festive season with a dynamic light and sound show based on the New Zealand children's book, ‘We Wish You a Kiwi Christmas’ by Lynette Evans with music by Pio Terei.

Sing along to the lyrics in both English and Māori and watch Little Kiwi finally get her wish!

Sienna Spiro // It’s been a pleasure lighting the incredibly talented @siennaspiro for her UK and European ‘Just Visiting’ tour this September. Her creative direction defined the stage design, while our lighting brought this beautifully curated show to life with a series of stunning, intimate moments realised through lampshades, shadow and sidelight.

JADE // We have had the pleasure of lighting @jadethirlwall for a while now as her solo career continues to reach new highs at Glastonbury and around the UK. A recent highlight was a show in our English home - at the @theglasshouseicm in Gateshead for the BBC Proms. Backed by the brilliant @royal_northern_sinfonia in a filled Sage Theatre by the Tyne river, the concert event was an incredible display with creative direction by @weareblackskull
Mandylights provided lighting design, direction and operation for this broadcast and live event. We can’t wait to see it on television in the coming months!
We were honoured to light up the Singapore Botanic Gardens to celebrate their tenth anniversary as a World Heritage site. Working with our friends at @picoglobal , we created a stunning light and sound show that transformed the iconic Swan Lake, reimagined the Clocktower Square and created magical moments at the Tanglin and Nassim Gates.
Running every night for three weeks following a fantastic opening event, the free festival was enormously popular as a chance to celebrate one of Singapore’s most treasured natural assets.
Mandylights provided design and complete equipment and crewing infrastructure across the site which included laser, bespoke lighting and audio systems. We were grateful to be supported by local labour teams and the incredible gardens staff who created this ambitious project.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Geneva, our longtime client @raye delivered yet another class performance. Her vision led the way on the stage design, and our lighting brought it all to life beautifully. We teamed up our friends @moombaproductions and Raye herself to create a show that first wowed mass crowds at Glastonbury and is continuing to light up stages all summer across Europe.

Sound Escape: A spectacular transformation of Sydney’s @cityrecitalhall as part of @vividsydney featuring DJs, performance art and bands that turned the usually restrained hall into the city’s most epic house party.
We brought a design and full production that spanned four levels of laneways, foyers and the main recital hall including dozens of lasers and other effects.
