From the Wikipedia article
The Light Entertainment, also known as The Light Cinemas (stylised as the light), is a British independent cinema chain that exclusively screens films using digital cinema technology. The Light was founded in 2007 by former Cineworld director Keith Pullinger and former Warner Village Cinemas director John Sullivan. The oldest UK cinema in the chain is currently in New Brighton, which opened in December 2011. Since then, thirteen more venues have opened across the UK, while the company has also been involved in cinema exhibition internationally, in Bulgaria, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. The cinema chain offers screenings of both mainstream and independent films in a 'luxurious' environment, with standard cinema ticket prices. Their venues also include a café/bar, and some include entertainment facilities such as bowling, karaoke, climbing, and retro arcades. The Light offers Premiere cards, which allow subscribers to view films for a flat monthly fee.
