We experience breakthrough after breakthrough as new technology is developed, and we celebrate the ways it will advance our industry. ![Liter of Light 2](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_4104-350x233.jpg?width=350&height=233&name=IMG_4104-350x233.jpg) We know that you will use the new technology in your art, to evoke strong emotions in your audiences. That new [LED luminaire](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/) that emulates just the right shade of moonlight can make your audience’s hearts flutter during a romantic scene. That new [console](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Consoles/) can excite a crowd when it triggers the first mind-blowing cue during a concert. And that new [dimmer](https://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Power-Controls/) can make your audience gasp in horror when it delivers a full blackout at just the right moment during a scary scene. ![Liter of light 3](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/concert-768722_1920-350x233.jpg?width=350&height=233&name=concert-768722_1920-350x233.jpg) But what if you could elicit the strongest emotions without all the high-tech gadgets? What if simple, everyday items could produce life-changing light? That’s exactly what the [Liter of Light](http://literoflight.org/) project does. With just a plastic bottle, some bleach, and little sealant, they can quite literally light up the lives of people who have limited access to electricity.     The Liter of Light project reminds me of the power of light. A low-tech light source in the darkness can spark the truest human emotions: elation, joy, and even tears of happiness - - - 0 [#Consoles](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/consoles) [#Lighting fixtures](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/lighting-fixtures) [#LEDs](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/leds) [#ODDS & ENDS](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/odds-ends) [#charity](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/charity) [#R&D](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/rd) ### Innovation at our core [Previous article](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2017/01/innovation-at-our-core) ### Blog Authors [Next article](https://blog.etcconnect.com/blog-authors) [Allison Suchon](https://blog.etcconnect.com/author/allison-suchon) ![Allison Suchon](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/allison.png?width=180&height=180&name=allison.png) ETC counts thousands of customers worldwide including theaters, restaurants, schools, performing arts centers, television studios, houses of worship, casinos, museums, theme parks, sporting arenas, and opera houses. #### You may also like [![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/LB1-750x500.jpg)](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2021/04/lighting-design-for-theatre-in-the-round) [FEATURED](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/featured) ### [Lighting Design for Theatre-in-the-round](https://blog.etcconnect.com/2021/04/lighting-design-for-theatre-in-the-round) By [Guest Blogger](https://blog.etcconnect.com/author/guest-blogger) 8-Apr-2021 ***Lighting designer Daniella Beatie discusses the world of lighting design for theatre-in-the-round in this latest blog article.
