Preferred Landscape and Lighting chosen by city of San Antonio for holiday LED lighting project
The San Antonio City Council unanimously approved the proposal to switch to LED lights along the River Walk this holiday season and hired Preferred Landscape and LIghting to execute the plan.
"It's about enhancing the No.1 tourist attraction in the state," said deputy city manager A.J. Rodriguez, adding that the plan received no opposition at the meeting.
In short, the plan calls for replacing 85,000 incandescent multicolored lights typically used on the River Walk during the holidays with 1.76 million LED lights. The LEDS would wrap aorund tree trunks, instead of hanging from branches, and 19 downtown bridges would be illuminated as well.
Preferred Landscape and Lighting collaborated on the project with local artist Bill FitzGibbons.The project utilizes Philips Color Kinetics IColor Flex LMX LED lighting featuring dynamic integration of power, communication and control.
