Bridgewater, NJ – Dynamic, color-changing architectural LED lighting from Color Kinetics, a Signify (Euronext: LIGHT) and Genlyte Solutions brand, are officially activated on the east, harbor-facing side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s Hoan Bridge. The milestone marks the full illumination of the bridge, extending the joy and visibility of this iconic landmark to even more people across the city.
More than 1,800 Color Kinetics FlexElite nodes and ArchiPoint fixtures have been shining nightly on the Hoan Bridge’s west side since October 2020. Light the Hoan remotely monitors, manages and maintains the dynamic architectural lighting assets and content. The team creates and schedules 150+ color-changing light shows each year, to build awareness for causes, honor holidays, cheer on the city’s sports teams and support other events
The east side lighting, which mirrors the west side’s design, allows new audiences, including visitors to the city’s science museum and lakefront destinations, boaters, cruise passengers and even those flying into Milwaukee, to enjoy the bridge’s brilliant display.
“Lighting the east side of our skyline is huge,” continued Smith. “That said, while the bridge’s visual enhancement is completed, Light the Hoan’s work is not done.
Light the Hoan’s annual competition challenging interns to convey their employer’s mission, brand and values through the lighting is a shining example of this. The program has seen year-over-year growth in participation, with more than 400 interns from 14+ local companies experiencing this intersection of technology and art in summer 2024.
