A guided tour of 4 km was created to view the lighting installations, an event that took great care in promoting the city after dark. The event also promoted public health by getting people out at night to walk around and experience the town in a different light.

As the project was greatly appreciated and was a huge success, the Uppsala Municipality decided to make the event a biennial celebration, therefore reoccurring in 2010.

One of the key sites of 2010 was the old mill in Uppsala's city centre and the water surrounding it. Sound, light and video company Kreativ Teknik of Uppsala transformed the area into a dynamic coloured adventure with music and sound effects. With

For this project, it was decided that the normal rotation of the mirrorballs wasn't enough - they also travel up and down through the atrium, courtesy of TRG Rigging. White Light's team therefore installed moving lights around the outside of the atrium, programmed to follow the movement of each ball.

Installation work took place over five nights. Coemar's Infinity Spot M was chosen for its high light output within a smart compact unit. The fixtures e motor cues were controlled using a grandMA lighting console; this was initiated by Selfridges' building management system in the morning, and the four minute show was then scheduled throughout the day using the console's built-in Agenda feature.
