The story

LAMPU Putrajaya in Putrajaya

LAMPU, or Light and Motion Putrajaya, is a year-end light and technology festival centered on Putrajaya's Precinct 3, featuring a large-scale projection mapping show on the facade of the Palace of Justice building alongside illuminated streets, live music, food trucks, and street performances. Now in its eighth edition after returning from a five-year hiatus in 2024, the festival typically runs over several days in late December.

LAMPU, an acronym for Light and Motion Putrajaya, has become a regular year-end fixture on Putrajaya's events calendar, using the federal capital's modern architecture as a canvas for large-scale light and technology displays.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's signature attraction is its projection mapping show, which uses an increasing number of projectors, sixteen in its most recent edition compared to twelve previously, to animate the facade of the Palace of Justice with colorful imagery, sound, and choreographed light sequences, a scale of production distinct from typical holiday light displays in Malaysia

02

The mystery stays covered

Putrajaya's Kompleks Perbadanan Putrajaya district is transformed for the festival's duration with illuminated trees, LED-lit trishaws, hologram exhibitions, wayang kulit shadow puppet shows, and radio-controlled vehicle showcases, blending traditional and futuristic elements

03

The city starts moving

Drawing crowds reported in the millions across its run, LAMPU has become one of the largest year-end public events in the Klang Valley, positioning Putrajaya as a nighttime entertainment destination outside its usual daytime identity as an administrative capital
