Vector Lights
A free light show like no other, right on the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Part of a smart energy partnership between Vector, Auckland Council and NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi.
Smart energy behind the sparkle
Vector Lights is a spectacular, solar-powered light display on Auckland’s iconic Harbour Bridge, celebrating iconic events, festivals and days of significance. It’s more than just a show - it's a celebration of our city, our stories, and our journey toward a smarter energy future.
Powered by advanced clean energy technology, we light the bridge responsibly, showcasing a smart energy solution in action.
- Solar panels capture energy during the day
- Tesla Powerpack battery stores that energy for use at night
- Smart meters on the bridge and battery communicate every 10 seconds
- Peer-to-peer tech ensures only the exact amount of energy needed is released—no more, no less

Upcoming show
Vector Lights shines pink on 23 October 2026 to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
A special pink light display will illuminate the Auckland Harbour Bridge from sunset until midnight,
helping raise awareness of breast cancer and showing support for everyone affected by the
disease.
As part of the Global Illuminations campaign, landmarks and public spaces across New Zealand
will shine pink throughout October to encourage conversations about breast health, early
detection and support for those impacted by breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among New Zealand women. Breast Cancer
Foundation NZ works to improve outcomes through research, education, advocacy and patient
support services across Aotearoa.
Adding to the evening, More FM's Drive Show will host a special Pink Ribbon broadcast, helping
raise awareness and encouraging New Zealanders to support the important work of Breast Cancer
Foundation NZ.
Gather your friends and whānau to watch Vector Lights illuminate the iconic Auckland Harbour
Bridge in a vibrant pink display of support and solidarity. Some of the best viewing locations
include Little Shoal Bay, Silo Park and Maungawhau Mt Eden.
