"LIGHT: Beyond the Bulb" is an international exhibition program that showcases the incredible variety of light-based science being researched today across the electromagnetic spectrum, across scientific disciplines, and across technological platforms. The exhibit materials and striking images were crowd-sourced and expert-curated for science content, high-quality printability, stunning beauty and ability to engage non-experts.

With short informative captions, "LIGHT: Beyond the Bulb" (LBTB) covers a robust selection of the science, technology, nature and culture essential to the goals of the International Year of Light 2015. Global organizers and volunteers can easily gain access to a free online repository of images and resources which functions as a toolkit to create an exhibit with relative ease—allowing sponsors to focus on the physical specifications and local adaptation without having to start from scratch on content.

Learn about the free educational resources of the LBTB project, from simple hands-on activities to videos and related math problems. 100 copies of a free 15-poster set (each poster measuring 18"x12", printed on front side only) will be made available on a first-come first-served basis. In addition, there is a video resource handout provided by SPIE. Please fill in all the fields below to participate in this event. After the first 100 request, we will deactivate the form. We look forward to hearing from you!

Together with SPIE (the international society for optics and photonics), the Chandra X-ray Center/Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory are leading Light: Beyond the Bulb for the International Year of Light 2015 (IYL2015). Light: Beyond the Bulb is a cornerstone project for the International Astronomical Union. IYL2015 was declared by the United Nations and is supported by UNESCO.
