About Vector Lights

Vector Lights is a world-first solar, battery and peer-to-peer powered Auckland Harbour Bridge light show that demonstrates a smarter way to power our city. Vector Lights will be programmed for special events throughout the year and subtly frame the architecture of the Harbour Bridge on every other night.

Vector Lights Celebrating Auckland 
Vector Lights is Celebrating Auckland! Enjoy a stunning light show celebrating Tamaki Makaurau every weekend! Showing every Friday and Saturday night, approximately 30 minutes from sunset.

This means even if Vector Lights isn’t celebrating one of our iconic events, festivals and days of significance, we’ll still be lighting up the bridge with a dedicated show. A perfect opportunity to get together with friends and family on the waterfront or at one of the many viewing spots around the city with a picnic. 

Upcoming Light Shows 

 

Vector Lights for Fire and Emergency NZ - 9 - 14 Nov

Vector Lights lights up in red, blue and yellow for Fire & Emergency NZ. To remind Aucklander's that if there's a fire in your house, you'll have under 3 minutes to get out before the fire becomes unsurvivable. A working smoke alarm gives you the warning you need to get out, stay out and call 111. Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, every living area, every hallway. Test them every month and make sure everyone in your home knows your escape plan.

Vector Lights for a Kiwi Christmas 17 - 26 Dec

Vector Lights is celebrating the festive season with a dynamic light and sound show based on the New Zealand children's book, ‘We Wish You a Kiwi Christmas’ by Lynette Evans with music by Pio Terei. Spot Little Kiwi on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, who dreams of riding through the skies with Santa, and is surprised one Christmas Eve to come across Santa with a broken-down sleigh.

Sing along to the lyrics in both English and Māori and watch Little Kiwi finally get her wish!
