We can't send you each a card, it would cost a bundle and the carbon footprint would be a shameful waste. But we can send you a virtual postcard, with lots of pretty pictures of holiday lighting! If I could have stopped there and not told you anything about how the lights got to be that way, it would be a great miracle, but that's not happening either. So take a trip around the world for some stunning outdoor lighting images, and please don't forget to read the articles about how we, as a culture, and Enttec as an agent of technological advancement, pushed back the darkness. It's funny though, we're using examples from the Equatorial Region, as well as the Southern Hemisphere, so maybe it's not the darkest time of the year so much physically, but traditions about light run deep. You can learn how Tim Adams lit up fountains in Medellin, Colombia, how David Eversfield designed a tree of light in New Zealand that celebrates the relationship between children and Santa, and how Joe Cervone lit the Denver Technology Center's Sculpture project in the USA. It's all about the vertical impulse, and it's ultimately all about controlling lots of LEDs.

 

Rocky Mountain Spotted Ladder

Last September, in the Denver office of PRG Lighting, I had a chance to catch up with Joe Cervone, Inter-mountain Regional Manager for the company, and together we crafted a design for a system to control the proposed lighting for a Denver landmark.


NZ Telecom Tree

In 2008 Telecom, the largest phone utility in New Zealand, used Enttec hardware to help control thousands of individual LEDs decorating the Christmas Tree they put up.

 
 

Fountains of Colombia

The weather in Medellin, Colombia is warm enough all year round that their waterways and lakes never freeze. In fact it stays a pleasant temperature in all four seasons. Maybe there are only two, though, rainy and dry.


Upcoming Events : 2010

Look for us at these upcoming industry events.

 

I'll just step away from the microphone now and let you marvel. See you next year!
