Good Night Lights - Under Reconstruction

GOOD NIGHT LIGHTS WEBSITE UNDER RECONSTRUCTION

Thanks for visiting this site, which is currently under reconstruction. We’re looking forward to providing an even better way to learn about and follow Good Night Lights in the near future.

Good Night Lights is a voluntary community project that serves the patients, families, and caregivers at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI. Since December of 2015, people, businesses, organizations, institutions, and civic groups have been creating a flashing light display at 8:30 every night to signal love, support, and care. Patients and families acknowledge those creating the display by signaling back with flashlights, cellphones, and room lights.

Good Night Lights involves three distinct elements:

1) Live signals created by people using flashlights, headlights, and other illumination.

2) Automated signals hosted by buildings in view of the hospital. These include LED screens, projected images, and other types of lighting on timers.

3) Patient-activated art: “Good Night Light-ups.” This is a permanent installation of reflective tape art pieces displayed in windows and on rooftops of buildings near Hasbro Children’s Hospital. When hit with the beam of a flashlight, this reflective tape art “turns on” like neon signs, showing encouraging messages or whimsical characters to the viewer.

Good Night Lights provides a “Constellation of Hope” to those watching from Hasbro Children’s Hospital every night from 8:30-8:35pm, the “Magic Minute+.” Since its beginning, the project has allowed a community of caring people to represent support through a simple, but magnificently appreciated, display of light every night.

Thanks for your interest in Good Night Lights.
