When is it lighted again? You stated 1 October 2016-1 January 2017 for 3 nights continuously but I'm a little confused about the dates but would like to catch the next one if I am around. I like to take my friends who are visiting from overseas to see the Putrajaya lights and this sounds like an excellent event to see!
