LED Lighting on CN Tower

[chimo]

This must have been a big lighting job! 1300 shoe-box sized fixtures to light the CN Tower in Toronto. Color Kinetics did the job.

That should look great. Wonder what they'll do Sunday night? I'll have to take a trip down there and have a look. I'm only 10 minutes away.

Grew up in TO. It will be nice to see some colour in the skyline. Can't wait to see it from Centre Island.:thumbsup:

For 10 million dollars---- no-one else here can say they spend too much on lights.

"...The tower, the world's tallest free-standing structure, showed off its high-efficiency LED lighting on Thursday night, giving a brief preview of some of the millions of color combinations that will flow up and down the 553-meter (1,815-foot) tower during holidays and special events...."

Cr*p. And I did a search for CN Tower too. Go figure! <slaps head>

I think there may have been one opened before mine as well.

They say the lights are expected to last 10 years. Thats about 90,000 hours @ 24 hrs/day. How many hours/day are the lights lit?

SWEET!

I wonder if Color Kinetics did the dance club in Glendale CA, right where the 134 freeway crosses the 2... Manx or Minx, it's called. The whole thing is lit up, some serious lumen output going on there too.

Don't know for sure, but they weren't on when I passed by at 9:15 last night (still light out though). They're definitely not on during the day (for obvious reasons).

10 years seems short, but they are exposed to the same extreme weather conditions the tower endures.

Was at a condo party down on the harbourfront Sunday night, snapped a few balcony shots of the tower changing colours. Lit up red and white for Canada Day, lights were shut off around 2am so they were only on for approx 4 hours last night.

What does each module look like? Pics?

I have a great view of the CN tower from my place and the new lights are amazing! well worth checking out.

Also, there's a number of videos on youtube of the changing color patterns on the tower:

Just saw the tower tonight for the first with the LED's and they look really cool. They were coming on in waves and it really added a nice touch to an already beautiful night time skyline.
