Avenue of the Arts

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

The display was synchronized to the score of The Nutcracker, with color-changing lighting that danced across the buildings. In between the sound and light shows, coordinated lighting changes moved up and down the buildings.

In addition, Philips temporarily illuminated City Hall with ColorReach� Powercore, a high-performance architectural floodlight, which provided color-changing and dynamic effects on the 548 ft (167 m) municipal building. With more than 5,000 lumens of output and unprecedented light projection of over 500 ft (152 m), ColorReach Powercore brilliantly illuminates grand buildings such as City Hall with vibrant colors, while curbing energy use and reducing maintenance.

This Avenue of the Arts lighting installation is controlled by Philips Light System Manager (LSM), an integrated system consisting of controller hardware and creative design light show software. The coordinated effects are wirelessly controlled.

The colorful lighting transforms the Avenue of the Arts nightly and can be easily adjusted for major events. For example, when the Philadelphia Eagles were in the 2009 playoffs, the lights turned green to support the team. For Valentine뭩 Day, red lights bring romance to the City of Brotherly Love.
