Every edition of the BRIGHT Festival transforms Brussels into a living canvas of light, art, and public space. Vivalyte is proud to support this international light festival by contributing both lighting technology and engineering expertise to Bel Lume, one of the festival’s artistic installations.
Rather than approaching the project as a technical supplier, Vivalyte joined the collaboration as a creative and technical partner, supporting the artist’s vision while ensuring the installation could perform reliably in an urban, public environment.
Bel Lume is conceived as a subtle yet expressive light installation—one that invites visitors to slow down, observe, and experience light as an atmosphere rather than a screen or signal. The project plays with rhythm, repetition, and materiality, allowing light to shape perception without overwhelming its surroundings.
To support this intent, Vivalyte supplied high-brightness LED strips (VFN-H2835O), chosen for their balance of output, efficiency, and visual softness. The warm white tone (3500K) was selected to resonate with the urban context while remaining legible and consistent across the installation.
Vivalyte also provided decoders and power supplies, ensuring stable control and uniform performance throughout the festival period. The goal was not complexity, but dependability—allowing the artwork to exist effortlessly within the city.
Public light installations come with very real constraints: weather exposure, safety regulations, installation timelines, and long operating hours. Vivalyte worked closely with the project team to translate the artistic concept into a technically sound setup.
To streamline communication between artistic ambition and technical reality, the project team enlisted Bram Lattré, whose experience helped align creative intent, production planning, and on-site execution. Togethter with the artistic input from creatives like Auki Vega Opdekamp and Roxane Vanhassel, his involvement ensured that artistic decisions remained central while technical feasibility was continuously validated.
Supporting Bel Lume at BRIGHT Festival 2026 reflects Vivalyte’s broader philosophy: lighting is not just a product, but a tool for expression, shaped through dialogue between designers, artists, and engineers.
By contributing materials, knowledge, and hands-on support, Vivalyte aims to empower creative projects that engage public space thoughtfully and responsibly. Light festivals are not only showcases of technology, but testing grounds for how light can enrich everyday environments.
As Brussels lights up once more in 2026, we’re proud to be part of a project where technical precision quietly supports artistic clarity—and where light becomes a shared language between maker, city, and visitor.
