LED lights may be used to decorate Olympic rings in London 2012 Games
It was recently reported that London authority is considering decorating the Giant Olympic rings and Paralympic Agitos with various LED lights such as LED down lights and strip lights to shine Tower Bridge during the London 2012 Games. The fund for this project, if confirmed, will come from a deal agreed between the Mayor, City of London and London 2012 sustainability partners GE and EDF.
By offering the fund for the lighting project, GE and EDF will get sponsorship recognition during the games. But before the plan is carried out, they have to get permission from Southwark Council and Tower Hamlets Council. Since it will cut the energy consumption of currently existing lighting systems by about 40% to apply energy-efficient LED lighting, the plan is very likely to get passed.
If the plan is permitted, lighting artists Citelum will start to do their job by September. Citelum has the experience of working on the Eiffel Tower, the Zheng Yang Men gate in Beijing and the Abbey of Jumieges in France. The City of London Corporation will contribute £400,000 towards the works from its ancient Bridge House Estate fund.
