Planning for a specific kind of venue? Our botanical garden light show guide sets out how a trail is planned around planted ground and how a collection can be stored and reused across seasons, the theme park nighttime attraction guide covers themed worlds, seasonal overlays and staging a route around rides, and the zoo lantern festival guide covers species matching, path routing and off-season operation.

Where a site is planted rather than paved, the work of protecting root zones, soil and trees through install and removal is set out in protecting plants during a light show.

Two of the projects above are written up in full. How a zoo tripled its winter revenue follows the night trail from brief to switch-on, and a marine lantern trail covers the aquarium build and the coastal engineering it needed.
