Visible  Light  Communication  (VLC)  is  a  revolutionary  communication  technology  that  makes  use  of  visible   light  from  LED  lights  to  carry   information  wirelessly  between  devices.  As  the  available   bandwidth   of   the   visible   light   spectrum   is   much   larger   than   that   of   the   RF  spectrum,   the  problem  of  wireless  bandwidth  shortage  may  be  solved   in   the   future.  Lights  for   illumination  purposes  already  exist   in  many  places   in  our  daily   life  and   they  can  easily  serve  as  the  new  infrastructure  to  provide  pervasive  wireless  communications  with  minimum  additional   energy   consumption   and   deployment   cost.   The   workshop   will   be   the   premier  forum   for   the   presentation   and   exchange   of   technical   advances   in   the   rapidly   converging  areas   of   VLC.   We   aim   to   bring   together   local   governments,   researchers   and   system  developers   from   academia   and   industry,   working   on   smart   light,   to   share   their   research  results.
