WELCOME TO THE RE:LIT PROJECT

In a world of lighting wastage, it is time to let light live.

Re:lit is a lighting initiative from award winning lighting design consultancy, Michael Grubb Studio. This initiative has been in place since 2014. The promise is to take perfectly fine lighting equipment that would be sent to landfill and put them in a new environment to be used. One of the most painful things a lighting designer can experience is a shelf full of products never used.

We give life to lights that have fallen to the side, or just need a bit of love and attention.

Use Existing Products

Superseded product lines, old samples, ex-demonstration kit, products that contain outdated LED lamps.

Safety

All donated products must be safe and hold relevant legal certificates.

Modifications Prohibited

Fabrication or modifications to products is prohibited (this will create waste)

Energy Efficient

Only energy efficient solutions will be used. The preference is for LED products.

Increased Efficiency

The final lighting solution will be at least 50% more efficient than existing scheme.

Recycling Is Key

All existing lighting components will be recycled.

Locally Sourced

Products will only be sourced from the immediate region ie. within the UK.

Control

Control systems utilised when possible to ensure energy is only used when needed.

THE RE:LIT ETHOS

Wastage of fully functioning lighting equipment needs to be addressed.

Re:lit works with manufacturers to take take superseded, damaged and ex-demo lighting and put it to good use in the community initiatives. The overall aim is to bring people and groups together.

The principals are to use light to create something beautiful and sustainable. Our work and time provided is free. The reason we (Michael Grubb Studio) are doing this is that there is so much space that can be used better for people to enjoy and feel part of.

We say let light live and lets make our communities a better place for those who will benefit from using it.

SOME OF OUR PROJECTS

Re:lit projects throughout the UK.

Chicken Town
The community led project ethos is about getting young people to engage with food and think about what they are eating. This was a project that was so much more than lighting a space. It represented understanding architectural detail and how technology can work in unison. It was everything about atmosphere and creating a vibe that was different from any chicken shop.

Shelley Theatre
Shelley Manor (1801) was the home of Percy Florence Shelley, son of Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein), but had become abandoned, boarded up and neglected for several years. We chose this project in 2014, based on the opportunity that the theatre presents to bring music, drama, cinema and events to the local area. The theatre is being restored and we helped to create something special, upcycle/reuse lighting equipment and slashed energy consumption.

Number 90
90 Main Yard, is in London's Hackney Wick. The ethos was to reinvigorate a former printworks to a space that champions creativity and the power of an idea. The derelict building has been transformed into creative studios, co-working space for small businesses and independent professionals and an on-site restaurant.
