Landmark, Urban & Landscape
- Lighting designed by Paul Cook and commissioned by the Mayor of London and local boroughs to support London’s celebrations during the 2012 Olympics.
- Golden Jubilee Footbridge, Waterloo, Blackfriars, Millennium, Southwark and London Bridge are fitted with Colour Kinetics and Aquila DMX LED fixtures, with each bridge controlled by a Pharos LPC.
- The original equipment was installed on a temporary basis, but then the decision was made for the light shows to remain in place permanently as a legacy of the games.
- Each bridge runs an individual lighting sequence, but all bridges run a synchronised effect every hour.
- Lighting was also coordinated with seven existing and six new Pharos installations on riverside landmarks, including Tate Modern, HMS Belfast, Globe Theatre and OXO Tower.
