SLL Ready Steady Light

Following the recent developments regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) here in the UK, the decision has been made to postpone SLL Ready Steady Light 2020 and Junior Ready Steady Light. We hope to be able to send out alternative dates soon.

Each year, the competition sees teams competing against each other to design and set up temporary exterior installations with a limited range of equipment in only 180 minutes.

Returning to basic engineering and design, teams are tasked with lighting their site in its natural state with the equipment provided. They each have to overcome challenges without a budget and within the time constraints.

Take a look at last year's winning installations below:
