Situated in the centre of Sergels Torg, Stockholm’s most central public square, is the 37-metre-tall glass obelisk sculpture. The centre-piece was first officially created in 1974, facing many technical issues throughout the years trying to deliver visual output. Finally lighting designer Michael Hallbert and winner of Sweden’s Lighting Prize of the year came to a conclusion of how to overcome this issue, with the support of Pharos Controls

0 - The sculpture uses 254pcs of RGBWLA LED fixtures.
- A Pharos LPC 4 and TPC control all the X Line RGB WLA (Red, Green, Blue, White, Lime, Amber) 6-channel fixtures.
- The Pharos Touch Panel Controller allows the user to select how the lighting looks at the touch of a button.
- The control system is also programmed to control the specially-built round RGB and White fixtures on 64 LUX windows.
- The lighting has been set up as a recurring event so that the lighting scene changes on the 11th day.
