Light Collective, the creative lighting consultancy based in UK, will be in attendance at the events to present the film and discuss light with the audience. The documentary, supported by Citizen, has thus far been screened in London, Berlin, Milan, New York, Paris, Milan, Sao Paolo, Reykjavic and Zurich.

The film addresses the function and reception of LEDs, as they have superseded all other sources and potentially rendered them obsolete. They ask: Is LED therefore, the perfect light?
