World Of Lights

Every exhibitor is invited to light up their MOC!  World Of Lights is a period of utter darkness (or as much darkness as the venue's emergency lighting will permit) where lighted MOCs take center stage.  It's a beautiful and cerebral event to behold.

Any MOC can be lighted.  There are no rules or guidelines.  A simple row of streetlights is very nice.  Or a working train engine headlight blazing the tracks ahead.  Or a glowing UFO hovering above.  The night's the limit!

Modular Friends Bakery by Jon Lazar is the perfect example of basic indoor lighting done well for great effect.

MicroGARCs by Simon Liu uses blacklights (and his own black canopy to ensure darkness) to make his Space display glow in the night.
