Light dances along the streets of Chicago from Van Buren to Lake Street engaging onlookers in a stimulating light experience. Lightscape, part of the Chicago Loop Alliance, will be a five yearlong custom LED lighting display designed to celebrate Chicago’s historic State Street.

Winona Lighting was selected to manufacture the custom reed shaped housing, integrating Traxon’s XB color changing LEDs that pulsate in synchronization with seasonal-themed music. The luminaires, replacing the high cost temporary holiday lighting of the past, are low emission, energy efficient, and require little maintenance. This installation is proof of Chicago’s smart energy effort and definitely breaks new ground in interactive environments.
