Donate-a-Light

Donate-a-light are dedicated to redistributing surplus lighting equipment to charities, public sector bodies, and community organisations. The service ensures that quality lighting is not wasted, but instead finds a new home where it can make a significant difference.

 Participation is open to all, making it easy to contribute to a more sustainable and resource-efficient lighting sector.


Donate-a-Light is a not-for-profit initiative run by volunteers. 

Donors and Beneficiaries

  • Donors: Businesses, installers, and organisations with unused or surplus lighting equipment become donors. By contributing, they help reduce waste and support a variety of communities.
  • Beneficiaries: The recipients of donated lighting include charities, not-for-profit organisations, and public sector bodies, groups that benefit from improved lighting but may otherwise be unable to access it affordably.

Donate-a-Light need your help

  • Donate-a-Light relies on organisations stepping forward to donate surplus lighting equipment so it can be reused rather than disposed of.
  • Support is needed to spread awareness of the service, connecting more potential donors and beneficiaries to Donate-a-Light.
  • Partnerships and offers of logistical assistance are welcomed to help collect, refurbish, and distribute lighting to where it is needed most.

Support from donors, beneficiaries, and advocates enables Donate-a-Light to keep quality lighting in use and illuminate the lives of communities in need.
