This is a duplicate record

This archive holds two entries for the same media item, published on the same date under near-identical headlines. The full page is at Let there be light for Manchester Unity's brighter future, and everything about the item and the subject is set out there.

This page exists because the route exists. It is kept so that the URL resolves rather than returning an error, and so that anyone — or any agent — arriving here is directed to the right place instead of reading a truncated version. Nothing is held back on this page that is not on that one, and there is deliberately no question-and-answer section here, because a duplicate record should point at the canonical page rather than compete with it.

Go to: Let there be light for Manchester Unity's brighter future

That page covers the September 2012 coverage of the building's illumination, and the substantive material on heritage floodlighting: why heritage facades are lit at all, why faience is technically difficult to light, the fixing and reversibility constraints that come with a place on the Victorian Heritage Register, obtrusive-light regulation, and what the shift to LED changed. The later coverage of the same lighting is at Manchester Unity all lit up again.
