That is fantastic. LED’s really changed the game – they’re relatively inexpensive, long lasting, and energy efficient.
Even here in Providence there are a ton of LED projects. The Dunk for example – outside the western entrance there’s a color changing art installation, and the skybridge between the RICC and Dunk has them too though they’re rarely on.
Then of course the Gtech building uses them, the RI State House. It’s everywhere.
We need them on Westminster Street to light up the buildings, instead of the street. Doesn’t have to be colors, but a simple raking wash of light would make Westminster much more inviting. It is too gloomy at night now.
