Light trails can vary in size, shape, and colour, and are designed to evoke emotion, highlight specific areas, or add a sense of magic and wonder to a location.
Lighting trails can be made using LED lights, fibre optics, or other lighting technologies to create everything from simple lines of light to intricate, moving displays.

How do you Ensure Safety and Accessibility for Light Trails?
