Callum Henry who had, set up an ambitious campaign of proposals in 2015 in which to bring back the illuminations.

From the ups and downs, this brought the introduction of 'Luminate' began in late 2019, which would develop multiple light displays, re-imagined throughout the area mostly involving community workshops as seen with January 2020's Expressions project over three nights along Morecambe's, coast, alongside new projects planned in an exciting programme of light festivities, bringing the idea of illuminations back to the area.
