Vector Lights returns this festive season with a spectacular light interpretation of the 12 days of a Kiwi Christmas.
“Our community loved the Vector lights during the last holiday season and I am glad to see its return this year,” says Auckland Councillor and Environment and Climate Change chairperson Richard Hills.
With the show using renewable energy technology it promises to bring clean sparkle and shine to your summer nights.
“This is a visible and creative way to showcase smart energy technology while celebrating Auckland’s iconic harbour bridge”, says Cr Hills.
Vector Lights is part of a 10-year smart energy partnership between Vector and Auckland Council in collaboration with the NZ Transport Agency.
Vector’s CEO Simon Mackenzie is thrilled to once again bring some joy to the festive season.
“Vector Lights is an experience and a destination for Aucklanders to come together and celebrate this time of year.
“At the same time, Vector Lights is a great showcase for how clean, innovative, and sustainable energy projects can transform our city and act as a guiding light toward the new energy future.
“On behalf of the team at Vector, we wish everyone a happy and safe festive season.”
