Other major port-cities around the world, with comparable climate conditions, have presumably transitioned to LED lighting over the past decade - why can't they save taxpayer's money by simply buying-up whatever Valencia or Singapore is using instead of having their own NIH Syndrome and insisting an entirely bespoke system just-for-them be used?
- davidgay 4y agoThis is a decorative/art installation, not the bridge's engineered lighting. So whatever Singapore is doing is not relevant (except if it's also for similar purposes).
- ars 4y agoThese are LEDs to write messages and do colors, they are not for lighting.
- nradov 4y agoDid you even read the article? This is a public art installation funded by a non-profit. Not taxpayers. The installation was intended to be temporary and has already gone way past it's design lifetime.
