South of the Thames, White Light revisited another old friend: the 1940s House at the Imperial War Museum. A re-creation of the real semi-detached house that featured in the Channel 4 series ‘The 1940s House’, which took a family back in time to spend two months living as they would have done in a house in war-time London, the house was installed at the museum earlier in 2001. White Light supplied the lighting equipment specified by lighting designer Alison Procter to give the building a night-time feel. Now the house has been re-dressed for the winter, with fake snow added; White Light returned to the Museum to adapt the lighting to this new theme.
Further east, White Light has been busy in Canary Wharf with what has become a regular Christmas period project, though it is, in fact, intended to mark the Muslim religious festival of Eid: turning the top of Canary Wharf tower green! The fluorescent tubes that light the inside of the pyramid that tops the tower were gelled to a suitable shade, giving the tower a suitably festive feel to celebrate the end of the month of Ramadan.
