changing shard patterns of the fixtures installed on the Golden Jubilee Footbridge. Specialist lighting solutions company Architainment Lighting provided the technical services for a number of the bridges and also supplied a range of Philips Color Kinetics LED fixtures. London Bridge was fitted with 36 Philips Color Kinetics ColorBlast 12 Powercore XRE fittings, twelve on each of the two supporting piers and a further six on each bank. The arches of Waterloo Bridge were illuminated by four ColorReach and two ColorBlast LED fittings on each of the four piers, while the suspension wires and arms of the Golden Jubilee footbridges were fitted with


Philips Color Kinetics ColorBurst fixtures. Architainment Lighting also provided technical support and wifi for all the bridges.


Control was key to the realisation of Cook’s vision for the bridges and this was provided by Pharos LPCs throughout. All control programming was undertaken by Pharos, including that of thirteen riverside landmark buildings such as Tate Modern, HMS Belfast, Globe Theatre and OXO Tower, which had their architectural lighting designed to co- ordinate with the bridges. All rental equipment was supplied by PRG, who customised some of the fixtures against weather and potential damage


and also provided technical assistance on a number of bridges and guidance as to installation. The electrical contractor for all light fittings, power and data cables was Proctor and Co Ltd, who were appointed by main contractor FM Conway following their success installing colour changing LEDs on other London landmarks.


Cook said: “Strong back up from innovision, the contractors and the suppliers enabled the project to be delivered on time to a very high standard.” www.pharoscontrols.com www.architainment.co.uk
