Christ Light (Portuguese: Cristo Luz) is a statue of Jesus Christ in the Brazilian seaside resort Balneário Camboriú.

Inspired in the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, it is a little smaller (33 m high) than the latter, and it portrays Jesus with a "broad-brimmed hat" like circle on his left shoulder, symbolizing the Sun, which houses a spotlight that shines out to the entire city. The Cristo Luz is lit at night, also having colorful lights in its body that changes periodically.[1]
