The World's Biggest LED Project to Date


The YAS Hotel in Abu Dhabi has created the world's largest LED project to date. Created by the lighting design department at Arup based out of New York City, the project used e:cue's lighting application suite 5.1 in order to integrate and program close to 5000 RGBW LEDs by Enfis and Cooper lighting products.
 
Below are some behind the scenes views of the modeling and the wiring involved in order to program these LEDs. This new technology allows for easier color-changing light sequences to be developed as well as low-resolution video to be played upon the grid shell exterior.
And someone posted a video on youtube of the first test-run.



If you're into lighting, this probably isn't the first time you've heard about this feat. And it also won't be the last.
