The Society of Light and Lighting are delighted to invite you to a cross-regional collaborative event. Featuring two highly respected lighting designers and two manufacturers acclaimed in the museum and gallery sector, these SLL events in Manchester and Edinburgh are dedicated to the specialism that is museums and conservation.

Join us in Manchester to meet with Mark Sutton Vane and ERCO to dive into the subject of museum lighting.

Mark, who believes that designing lighting for museums is one of the most challenging and most rewarding types of lighting design, will deliver a light hearted presentation with serious lighting messages. He is the author of the SLL Lighting Guide 8: Lighting for museums and art galleries (2021). 

Jim Ashley-Down, Managing Director at ERCO together with Jon Harris, Head of Technical at Birmingham Museum, will discuss the impact of lighting in Museums and Galleries, where light serves as both a protector and a storyteller.
