DAFNE-Light is the new Frascati Synchrotron Radiation facility exploiting the intense photon beams emitted by DAFNE, the storage ring working with over 1 A of current.
    Since the end of 2001 three beamlines have been commissioned. The Infra Red line is fully operational by a brilliant SR beam in the whole IR domain. The Ultra Violet line is also operational and dedicated to photobiology in the frame of the Solar Ultraviolet Effects (Gruppo V) experiment. On the soft X-ray line, preliminary experiments are in progress for characterizing the photon beam and testing the double crystal monochromator performance in the energy range up to 6 keV.
    The state-of-the-art of the laboratory and of the beamlines will be reported. Preliminary scientific results obtained in the IR and UV spectral regions and first experiments performed in the soft X-ray range will be outlined.
